The giver treats Jonas with love and care. Once Jonas learned about love, The Giver tells Jonas that they have a great bond and that he loves him dearly.
The Giver wanted Jonas to call him the Giver. This may sound odd but when the Giver said this he was still called the receiver. The Giver asked him to call him the Giver because he was no longer the receiver, therefore it was not appropriate to call him receiver any longer.
