Timed past training past and every day Jonas grow more and more as a person. One day The Giver transfer the memories of an elephant been killed, and Jonas asked himself why they do that. The memory had really touch Jonas heart is the memory of Color. This memory became really important to Jonas and he always asked himself why people can’t see it. Jonas had the idea to transfer this memory to his friend Asher, but it didn’t work because Asher doesn’t have the ability to see beyond. Memories make Jonas so happy but he also felt pain and these feelings are what make us who we are or should make us who we are. The memories Jonas had receive are not just rainbows and snow it was also pain, sunburn, hunger, war, love and one of the best memories the slide one. War and hunger make Jonas been impressed, and he think it wasn’t a thing that someone will like to feel. This makes me think that the community makes people forget these memories because they are painful and is horrible to feel it. After sometime Jonas and his family were taking care of baby Gabe, and he can’t sleep at night, so Jonas decide to transfer the memories to baby Gabe. Does Baby Gabe will understand theme?
”They never feel the pain" Jonas said. These quote make me think that know Jonas is really having pain with the memories he is receiving. But with those memories now he could understand why the community has so many laws, restrictions and why people don’t know about memories. I think that with the pain Jonas is having with memories he could change the way the community is ruled or even how people feel about the laws (they will have more freedom).
The Giver had been a book that I connected in real world because everyone wants to have a better place to leave, like Jonas community. I connected with the real world because we have laws that were made with a reason, and maybe it is like that because something happened in the past, like Jonas community animal poaching, war and more. Chapter 13 through 16 is been interesting has a lot to connect with and makes you read more and more.
