Rosemary, The Giver Daughter The Giver transmits the first memory to Rosemary, the first receiver who was his daughter. She asked to be released and she was killed, so they had no one to take the Giver's job and Jonas filled it. _____________________________________________ Answer 2: I don't think answer one is correct. I am pretty sure that the first memory the Giver gave Jonas was the memory of snow (the sled).
The Giver's job is to transmit memories to Jonas.
When The Giver transmits a memory to Jonas, he transfers the memory by placing his hands on Jonas's back, and the memory enters Jonas's mind through a shared consciousness. Jonas then experiences the memory as if he were the one who originally had the experience.
The only person in the community who had books in "The Giver" was The Giver himself. He held the memories of the past and used the books to transmit that knowledge to the Receiver of Memory, Jonas.
He puts his hands on Jonas' bare back (Jonas has to take off his tunic) and thinks of a memory, which Jonas immediately sees.
What puzzled Jonas the most about The Giver's favorite memory was how the memory evoked feelings in The Giver that were foreign to both of them. Jonas couldn't understand the depth of emotion and connection that The Giver felt during the memory, as he had never experienced such emotions in his own community before.
Because when the Giver shares memories which are painful to Jonas, it hurts Jonas physically.
Jonas received the sunshine memory from The Giver through the process of "transferring." The Giver transmitted the memory to Jonas by placing his hands on Jonas's bare back. Jonas then experienced the memory as if it were his own.
The Giver has not shared the memory of war with Jonas. He keeps this memory hidden because it contains intense pain, suffering, and violence that he believes would be too much for Jonas to handle.
The Giver transmits memories of wisdom, pain, joy, and adventure to help guide and prepare Jonas for his journey. These memories provide Jonas with knowledge and empathy to navigate the challenges he will face.
