The Painful Memories and the Love ones too

Jonas has receive more and more memories from The Giver like color and starts to question why the community will have the concept of "Sameness", and why would they don't know what color is. Since he really liked color he wanted to transfer the memory to his firmed Asher but he knew it wasn't possible, then he receive the memory of an animal being killed , an elephant. Time passes and Jonas starts to realize about the importance of memories and how important they have become for The Giver and will become to him, The memories are basically their lives, everything they know is the memories they have , everything they dedicate to  are the memories, without the memories The Giver saids everything would be meaningless.  Jonas then realises that The Giver is feeling pain, but why? Then he knew that it was because of the painful memories and Jonas wanted to help, so he took away some memories like hunger and war, it was very painful also to Jonas. Then in his home Jonas mother talks about the problem of having twins, there weren't allow to live in the community both of them so one of the twins was going to be release. One night at his home Jonas decide to take care of baby Gabe and while he was crying Jonas pass the memory of a lake to baby Gabe, but how? In one day of training he received the memory of Christmas, family, grandparents but most importantly love.


"Love", The Giver told him.
Jonas repeated it. "Love". It was a word and concept new to him.
They were both silent for a minute. Then Jonas said,
"Giver?"
"Yes"
"I feel very foolish saying this. Very, very foolish".
"No need. Nothing is foolish here. Trust the memories and how they make you feel."


I can make lots of predictions with this quote, but most of all with how Jonas will start to feel. Since he stopped taking the pills and he really is thinking about this world "Love", I believe he will feel this for Fionna,he will feel love and fall in love with her. I predict that Jonas will be different and I believe he IS different from the previous Receivers, he dosent only have the ability to see beyond but he also has the ability to change things and he is already doing it, now there is not only two persons that have this memories which would be The Giver and The Receiver but also baby Gabriel, with Jonas the community will start to know the truth what war is,what hunger feels like, what family means (grandparents) and they will know what love is and once they know it they would want to see it for themselves.


Finally I do think this memories and Jonas way of thinking will change the whole community. He is a a unic kid, that does have the ability to see beyond and wil keep seeing beyond but not only with the memories but with the real world.

The First Memory

Recently in the book The Giver, Jonas the protagonist just has been selected for being the Reciever of Memories, a ver honorable job, but at the same time quite scary. Every twelve has began his or her asssignment training very happy and tell lots of experiences about it, but Jonas is not allow to say anything about his training to anyone. The first day of his training Jonas met The Giver, which has been the previous Reciever and told Jonas about all the memories and just mentioned the memory of snow...
The Giver then pass the memory of snow to Jonas and he loved it! Then he pass the memory of sunshine he loved it too  but then he experience a sunburn, all this memories now belong to Jonas, but he is starting to wonder, why in his community their is none of this stuff? And again Jonas saw a "change" like with the apple and thee faces, but now he saw it in Fionnas hair. He asked The Giver about it and The Giver told him that he is starting to see COLOR, and now The Giver is gonna pass Jonas the memory of a rainbow...

Jonas just recieve the rules he must follow to become the Reciever of Memories and they seem to be very shocking specially rules number 4, 5 and 8. This rules talk about not telling about the training to anyone, do not do the ritual of dream-telling and he is now allow to lie. I predict that because he is a very special boy an d of course very smart he is going to make the difference, I believe all this rules have been wroten so he willl not rebell anything about his job, but what will he know and recieve that no one else may know? And that is how he will make the change, he will lies about following all this rules and he will want the community he lives in to experience all the pleasures of life like snow, sunshines, rainbows, colors! But most importanly know why they are trap in such perfect community. Jonas will stop this lie they are all living in and start introducing to them the real world.


I do believe that after Jonas knowing everything about the past and present and secrets of the world, he will not want to keep his mouth shut and he will want to do something with what he knows and theres is when I predict the previous Reciever who run away will show up. I predict they are both going to confront the Group of Elders and are going to let the people have some individuality for themselves, get to know the real world. I do believe that by Jonas recieving all the memories of the world he will recieve those painful memories like wars, strikes, rebellions, poor people and deaths.

Summary:
In these last chapters they talk about the ceremonys and the objects that they have gave to each child to represent they are growing. Also they talk about what happened to baby Gabe, who was sent to a place call "Elsewhere" so he will never return to the community. They did a ceremony to replace a child go died because he felt to a river, Jonas is finally going to assign to a job. In the ceremony while giving the assignments they skipped Jonas number for a very important reason, he felt very confuse, ashamed and afraid for what will happen and if he will be assign to a job. Finally at the end of the ceremony they called Jonas and told him he was "selected" to be the Receiver of Memories.

Text Response:
When the Chief Elder called Jonas after the ceremony ended and said, "Jonas has not being assigned, she informed the crowd and his heart sank.
Then she went on. Jonas has been selected." I was really confuse with what that meant. I was starting to question what exactly was going on and what did the word "selected" meant? I predict that this assignment he has been selected for will give him that knowledge to discover those mysteries and secrets the community carries, he will answer questions, no one know the answer to and as the Chief Elder said, the Receivers have the ability to see beyond, and thats what he will do.

Final Thoughts:  
Finally I do believe that this is the beginning of the stage or part of his life that he will become smarter. Since he is going to receive training to become strong and brave, he will have the courage to face any danger that threats him and he will be able to answer  all the questions he has. He will introduce the truth to the community, I believe that they are living in a lie, because nothing is so perfect as it seems and he will be the first one to recognize that. As the Receiver of Memories I predict he will receive those moments and thoughts, ideas, events and all kinds of clues and hints so he can see beyond the society and start to see the real world.
