everything starts here 

When the ceremony of twelve ended Jonas took his folder of instructions home and started reading there were very few instructions. Some of those instructions worried Jonas. As the instruction that said he can't apply for medication for any illness that has to do with his training.Three were other instructions such as you may lie, you may not apply for release, you can't share you dreams or that he could ask any question to any citizen and he will receive  answers. His first day of training had arrived he entered quietly to the Annex and saw this room full of books witch represent knowledge and watching all this books was very weird for Jonas because the normal dwelling only have 3 books.then he saw this really old man it was the receiver, he explained to his that this work had consumed him and he wasn't that old,then he also explained to him about being the receiver and what it implies. He told him that he will carry all the memories of the whole world, all that had happened before them.Jonas was very confused so he made an example, he turned the speaker off (with was something he had never seeing because t do that you had to have a lot of power), when this was done he put his hand on his bare back. Jonas felt something cold he transmitted him the memory of snow, sled and hill, he made Jonas have fun on the sled and the snow. Jonas was confused he had never experience something like that so the receiver tried something else he gave him the memory of sunshine and this time he was able to recognize the name of this hot feeling he knew it was named sunshine, and finally he gave hi the memory of sunburn witch was painful and made Jonas understand why his training will be painful. He explained that they didn't have snow because of agriculture and nether hills because they made transportation difficult but he also told him that before the community started implementing the idea of sameness all this things were pat of his daily life.And the the receiver told him to call him the giver ande explained that each time he have him a memory he lost that memory and felt relieved.


 "you may lie"(68)
On his folder of instructions for being the receiver Jonas has the indication that he may lie. This rule confused be as much as how it confused Jonas. All this years of his life they had being teaching him that everyone is the same no one is more special.But by giving this rules that also included prohibiting form dream telling makes him feel different makes him think that he had different rights and that everyone is viewing him as a more important person in the community. Why after all this years of being equal they are making him feel different and superior? This instruction that permitted him to lie made him think that all this years him parents had being lying to him and he feels frustrated because he has no way to figure out if his predictions are right.


"Im glad you gave it to me.Now I understand better, what it meant, that there would be pain."(86)
When the giver gave Jonas that painful memory of sunshine I was able to realize that that little memory had caused a lot of pain and it was a very simple thing.  It maid me wonder and worried about how much pain will cause him the millions of painful memories he needs to receive? Is he strong enough? He is just a kid! But I also think the giver was very nice at giving him this memory of sunburn the first day of his training so he can realize that this is not a joke. Also it was a very good  for him to be prepared when the time of receive those painful memories arrive.


Even though his first day of training has clear up  lot of his doubts, he is still scared about the pain he will receive  and he dosen't understand why cant he receive medication! Jonas is just starting to life his new life and starting to realize what he will have to face and what  really means to be the receiver of memories but also he is opening his eyes to see that there is a hole new world waiting to be discovered and a lifetime to go!
