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.

  1. Isa, I connected with what you said about love. I also think that Jonas will start to feel love towards Fiona but I have a question: how do you think that Jonas willl try to express love to Fiona even though she takes the pill and will not feel nothing for Jonas?

    1. Ale Du, thanks for reading my blog. I think that Jonas will demonstrate it not like we do this time, like flowers and love letters, taking her on a date or anything like that. Since Jonas now has feelings I think he will protect and take care of Fionna, trust her and be with her when she needs him.
