The Receiver had to transmit the memories he has within him, and all the memories from the past.
He puts his hands on Jonas' bare back (Jonas has to take off his tunic) and thinks of a memory, which Jonas immediately sees.
Jonas is selected to be the Receiver of Memory in "The Giver." This position requires him to receive and store memories of the past, including both the joy and pain of human experience, from the current Receiver, who is referred to as the Giver.
Because he has intelligents, integrity, courage, and wisdom
the giver is the old receiver who is now giving the memories to Jonas the new receiver
because the person who gives Jonas the memories used to be the receiver of memory but since Jonas is the new receiver of memory, the old receiver of memory calls himself the giver because he GIVES the memories
The Receiver of Memories..
Jonas is selected to inherit the position of "Receiver of Memory," the person who stores all the memories of the time before Sameness, in case they are ever needed to aid in decisions that others lack the experience to make. When Jonas meets the Giver, he is confused in many ways. The Giver is also able to break some rules, such as turning off the speaker and locking his door. As Jonas receives the memories from the previous receiver-the "Giver"-he discovers the power of knowledge.
The Giver asked Jonas to share painful memories with him to help him understand the weight of emotions and experiences that society has chosen to repress. By sharing these memories, Jonas gains a deeper understanding of human emotions, which prepares him for his role as the Receiver of Memories.
