Memories

Jonas is very anxious about his first day of training, he has received the instructions he has to follow as the receiver of memory. When he arrives to the place he was told to he felt very nervous, he gets to know the giver in person which gives him his first memories. Jonas is given the memories about SNOW, HILLS, SLED, SKY AND SUNSHINE. Jonas feels happy with his memories of pleasure and after that he gets his first memory of pain and is about SUNBURN. This memories changed Jonas thinking about life, and now he is getting the ability to see color red as Fiona's hair that made feel Jonas it was another thing of see beyond. But after he tells the giver about what happened with Fiona he is given the memory of rainbow were he is bale to see colors in things while the rest sees black and white. Jonas tells his first LIE to his parents about his dreaming, which he was now able to do thanks to his instruction that said that he could lie.

 

The giver shrugged. "Our people made that choice, the choice to go to sameness. Before my time, before the previous time, back and back and back. We relinquished color when we relinquished sunshine and did away with differences." He thought for a moment. "We gained control of many things. But we have to let go others." (Lowry 95)

This quote made me wonder about why did they quit sunshine?. I thought about this quote very deeply and I don't get why are differences so bad. Differences is what make people and I think that is wrong that they took that away from them. I think is very unfair that they took this away from them and that the only ones that can see it is Jonas and the giver. So as conclusion I have a question, Is it good that sunshine has been taken away?

 

As a closing now that Jonas have gain memories I have a prediction. What I predict is that Jonas will receive more memories and this memories will influence a lot. I think that because I `predict that Jonas will find something out that will be very shocking. Jonas will find out something because his memories are helping him to gain wisdom about things. In conclusion I think Jonas is going to realize or find something out thanks to his memories.
