What does Jonas find out about rosmery in the giver book?
Jonas discovers that Rosemary was the Giver's failed previous Receiver of Memory, who requested to be released from the pain of the memories. This revelation helps Jonas understand the weight and responsibility of the role he is now undertaking as the new Receiver.
What will Jonas receive during his training in the giver?
Because the giver's strength was diminishing after the last failure with rosemary 10 years ago and he has been the receiver for way too many years, so carrying all the bad memories like warfare etc causes him pain.
How did the old receiver feel after transmitting a memory to Jonas from The Giver?
The old receiver felt relieved and freed of the burden of carrying that memory. He was happy that Jonas was now able to share the pain and knowledge of that memory with him.
In the giver why does Jonas now see things in color?
Jonas begins to see things in color because he has received memories from the Giver that have awakened his ability to perceive color. This ability was previously suppressed in the society he lives in, where everything is seen in black and white to maintain control and conformity.
What was now jonas' biggest fear?
To lose The giver
Did Jonas die at the end of?
I just finished this book, and the answer is puzzling. There are 2 clues that he does not die. 1. It says that, when he sees the sled, it is his memory, not one given to him by the giver. He had really lost those memories by this point. This makes me think he is forming new memories of his own. and 2. He hears music up ahead. He knows it is music, but the Giver had not given him those memories. It also says he hears music behind which made me think this meant that he was hoping that the people from his community were now getting the memories from The Giver or something. I think he may have been in a delirium but also that he was truly arriving at "Elsewhere". Anyway, this is what I want to think. I can understand why the author left it this way. It seems that any other ending would seem too cheesy or too tragic.
What does Jonas wonder about when he's not with The Giver?
Jonas wonders about the meaning of love, family, and the complexities of the world outside of the community. He is curious about the memories and emotions he experiences and how they compare to the sterile and regulated life he lives in the community.
