Jonas from the Giver is needed because he is needed to keep all of the memories from the world before it was changed. He was chosen to be burdened by these memories that can be very painful (the memory of war, death, fire, etc) and some that are very pleasurable (the beach, eating ice cream, etc. The Elders of the community chose him to keep the memories.
