Lets Talk of Memories

           Jonas has been selected the receiver of memories! This is one of the most important jobs in the society and his training need to begin. First he received all the rules and thing he need to do for his jobs and in this rules there were many exceptions from the general rules like he can lye or that he can’t tell his dreams. But before one of his trainings starts, Jonas have his vision again, he saw Fiona's hair red. He went and tell The Giver that he saw it and then we knew that was the capacity to see beyond. The Giver gave his first memories to Jonas, the memories of snow. In here he can imagine a sled and a hill and that he get in the sled and ride it down the hill. But Jonas was still confused of why do they advertise him that this job would have pain. After that question The Giver gave him the memories of burn or sun and Jonas feel the pain and knew how it was and feels. Then we see that they never have seen colors and don't know what it is, The Giver in fact he haven't seen colors give the memories of color red to him. Just a moment later he realized that it would be better to give him the memories of the rainbow.
             This part of the book has been very important and interesting. It show many thing that will take actions in future of the book. There are many quotes in the book that shows this like in page 95. "Of course. When you receive the memories.You have the capacity to see beyond. You’ll gain wisdom, then, along with colors. And lots more." This quote represent the job that Jonas will have in as simple as 23 words. It says the capacities he will need and that fortunately Jonas have them, and that the capacity to see beyond is in every memories. So I can infer this is a type of memories that they have from the past that just some type of people have it and that it can be a big problem if used incorrectly or very help full if its use it like you are supposed. With these quote we infer that they can’t see the colors and just the people that receives this memories can. Including to the "and more" here comes the pain and the pleasure too. All the pain can be very bad but is necessary to be known so he can be prepare for something that can happen in future. With pleasure we really can say that it feels very good but there can be problems with these some really big. In conclusion This quote really get my attention and make me think a lot and now I really can have an idea of what the book would be more clear.
               In the next chapters I think that Jonas is going to start acting different with everyone. He is going to realize that this society is too much controlled and not very realistic. He is going to brake many rules even the one that he is given as a receiver that they brake the general rules for everyone. Do Jonas have all the ability to make a good role as the new receiver or is he going to be a deception to all? So what are your prediction of this book from what I have shown you above?
