"The ability to see ahead"
he needs to listen to listen to the Chief Elder and remember all he and the others say
intellegence, integrity, courage, wisdom, and capacity to see beyond.
The Receiver in the community holds the memories of all the community (sad, happy...etc.). And the memories are from generations way before Jonas's. The Giver is the one who passes the memories to Jonas.
The community made this distinction to ensure that the Receiver of Memory was chosen based on their unique qualities and abilities that are necessary for the role, such as intelligence and courage. Other occupations were assigned based on the needs of the community, without taking individual strengths and qualities into consideration.
The Giver/Reciever of memory was very important in the community. He held all the thoughts and memories from our time like snow, rain, fire, ect. When there is an unusual situation that the elders cannot solve, the Giver is supposed to think about all his memories and come up with a solution. Like in the begining of the book. There was a plane going over the community and it wasn't supposed to be flying over it and no one knew what to do, so the Giver solved it by using memories from before on what to do.
Tryna find that out myself.... :( Wow shouldn't have answered this. I am NO help
Being assigned, like most people, gives you a job based on your personality and interests. Selection is decided from birth for a job like the Receiver and Giver of Memory, which require special characteristics like seeing color, giving/receiving memories, etc.
It needs a Memory Stick brand memory card, which is a special one made by Sony for Sony products.
Jonas needs courage to be the Receiver because the role exposes him to intense memories of pain, suffering, and despair from the past. He must bear the weight of these memories alone, without being able to share them with others. This can be emotionally challenging and requires immense strength to endure.
The Xbox 360 needs memory because it doesnt have a memory unit installed and it needs memory for gamer profiles and games.
memory leak
Maybe your special-needs teen does not lie, but is confabulation (i.e. fills in gaps in memory by fabrication). If s/he has problem with his/her short-term memory, s/he might not remember what happened, but the brain fills in the gaps. So s/he is not telling a lie, merely telling, what his/her brain THINKS happened. If the problem is lack of short-term memory, the best thing is immediately after an incident to talk it over, so the brain does not make up things. Also, it is important not to tell the special-needs teen (or child), that what s/he is telling is not true, as it will impair his/her self-esteem.
