Because now everything is possible..



On the morning meal Jonas lied for the first time, he said he didn't dream that day. On school Jonas felt apart because everybody was talking about his training and he couldn't. When he arrived to the ANEX with Fiona he realized that her hair “changed” again! He quickly told the Giver and he explained to him that he was starting to see a quality called color. Jonas was very confused so the giver gave his the memory of a rainbow. Through weeks of training he started seeing all the colors on his daily life, but the colors didn't last. Soon Jonas started seeing the colors for hours before they vanished and the Giver is starting to transmit painful memories such as the elephant hunt, hunger, breaking a leg witch was very painful and he wasn't permitted to take medicine. He learned many things such as that they were ones real animals and that people used to have different colors of skin. The giver told him that he could apply for a spouse but it wouldn't be easy because half of his life will be hidden from his family, he also shared with him that the memories of the last receiver failed the memories she had vanished they were released and they never came back to the giver’s. Gabriel was improving a lot so Jonas had the chance to sleep with him on his room, when Gabriel started crying Jonas tried to give him a memory and he realized that the memory was transmits to Gabriel, how is this possible?! 



“You'll be able to apply for a spouse,Jonas, if you want to.I’ll warn you though that it will be difficult. (102)
This part made be feel very very sad for Jonas. I just try to imagine how hard it would be to have a family and have to hide half of your life from them. You will live such a lonely life carrying all that Knowledge  and having no one to share it with1 Poor Jonas he has a hole life full of pain and loneliness waiting. Also I really don't get it why he can apply for a souse but have to hide half of his life form her, also why can't he share this memories or at least the good memories with only his family?
 
“Why do you and I have to hold this memories?”(110)

Poor Jonas he is starting to realize how unfair this is for him. Why can everyone have these memories? Why doe he has to be miserable? Why is he the only one that suffers? What did he do to deserve it? He is starting to realize that this is just the beginning and he has so much more to receive and he can’t have any medication or share his pain with anyone but the giver! Now more than ever he feels lonely, sad, and even angry because he can’t understand what he did or why he of all the community has to carry al this suffering!




This few chapters confused me a little bit, specially the part when Jonas was able to transmit the memory of a sail boat to Gabe but not to Asher! What is different about Gabe? is it their pale light eyes? or is he also able to be a receiver? All this questions with answers yet lets hope Gabriele's future will be the best! Also it really made me wonder about Jonas happiness on the future with his family.Will he apply for a spouse?

  1. Ari I am glad that we think alike! I dont think Jonas should be the only one holding the memories! Jonas should expose them to the community. How unfair its for Jonas tk be left to bear the pain on his own. as always you did an amaizing job!!

    1. yes i agree with you but i really don't think that exposing the committee is the best way of fixing up things. yeah poor Jonas its very unfair for him to keep all the memories.
