Jonas is now in a new stage of his life he is now the receiver of memories. A job in which he is going to have pain and be alone in his training. He cannot share his training with anybody and he is allowed to lie. The next day he had to go near the house of the old and start his new job. He went in and the room was filled with books lots and lots of them. Jonas was wondering if they were books filled with millions of rules. He saw a man, which was seated on a chair. He started introducing himself and the new job of Jonas. He began sharing some memories to Jonas. One of the fists memories was about snow. He was in a sled going through the snow and he felt very good. The man gives the memories just with the touch of a hand. Jonas liked very much the memory of snow because it was something he never experience. He was wondering about why do the community didn't had snow. And the old man said it was because it ruined crops and they had climate control. The second memory was about sunshine. Jonas did very well on this memory because he understood the word the old man was trying to say. The sunshine burned Jonas skin; he thought that was the pain the chief elder was talking about. But the old man said it wasn't. When the training was over Jonas asked the old men what is your name and the man said you can call me the giver. Jonas arrived home and he went to sleep. When they had to share them feelings Jonas said he didn't had any but he was lying he had dreamed on the sled and the awesomeness about snow. He went to his job and the giver told Jonas about the colors. Jonas was starting to see the color red. He saw it on the ceremony of twelve, on the apple, and on Fiona’s hair. The giver explained Jonas why the community didn't have colors anymore, and he made Jonas see the memory of the sled again. He saw that the sled was also color red. What is going too happened to the rest of the colors?
This is a visualization of how I think the room of the giver is. |
“All I gave you was one ride, on one sled in one snow, on one hill. I have a whole world of them in my memory.” (83)
How could the giver had so many memories inside him? I am wondering how they transport the feelings. If the man gives the memory to Jonas why does that memory delete from the giver is Jonas able to be the giver someday so he can share the feeling of being on the snow. I am also wondering why do all the doors are always open, why do the giver door is locked. Isn't that a rule to have all doors open ? I want to know what is going too happened in the next chapters of the giver, so I can answer all of my questions.
Jonas is like this with all the questions that has per day. He is a very curious person that wants to know more about the world. |
Maria!I really havent think about the questions you are asking but what I think about its that because the Giver has so mucho honor he has the power to make that decitions.
ResponderBorrarSofi, yes the giver has control over all of the memories inside him. He has many power and that is why he can save them or share them.
