he asked "why don't we have snow, sleds, and hills? and when did we, in the past? did my parents have sleds when they were young? did you?"
Jonas finds a sled at the top of the hill
chap.11 With no words, just by touching Jonas's back lightly, the old man transmits the memory. Jonas actually feels the cold; then he can see snow, a sled, a hill and feel himself sledding downhill (foreshadowing here-remember that sled). When Jonas opens his eyes, the Receiver explains that the memory he has just given Jonas is a very distant memory, from before Climate Control, before the community went to Sameness. The Receiver then transmits memories of sunshine and sun- burn. Before Jonas leaves, the old man, who seems ter- ribly weary and sad, tells Jonas to call him The Giver.
Jonas doesn't know the words "sled," "snow," and "downhill" because his community has eliminated all concepts and experiences related to nature and emotions to maintain sameness and control. The society prioritizes conformity over individuality, leading to a lack of exposure to the natural world and its associated experiences. As a result, Jonas's education is limited to practical knowledge, leaving him unfamiliar with these fundamental aspects of life. This gap symbolizes the broader theme of the loss of depth and richness in human experience within a controlled environment.
Swing dogs are positioned directly in front of the lead dogs on the gangline of a dog sled team. Their role is to help maintain a smooth and steady pace, guiding the team through turns and changes in direction. They provide crucial support and communication between the lead dogs and the rest of the team, ensuring that the sled moves efficiently.
I dont know when you sled this question, but Green Day won't be playing any shows until their next album comes out. I'm positive that it wont come out for at least another year or more. But the last time they played in Denver was on August 28th 2010. I was there :)
sled
Jonas falls off the sled in "The Giver" on page 82 in chapter 9.
A toboggan is a kind of sled.
The memory of sledding.
In "The Giver," Jonas uses a sled to travel down the last hill of his journey. The sled represents freedom and the joy of experiencing new things for Jonas.
Jonas's dream about the sled ride is an example of foreshadowing because it hints at a future event where Jonas will physically experience something similar. This dream prepares the audience for the climax of the story when Jonas escapes the community on a sled, mirroring the dream and emphasizing its significance.
toboggan
The Giver tried to transfer the memory of sledding down a hill in the snow to Jonas to help him experience joy and happiness. This memory was intended to give Jonas a positive and exhilarating experience, as he had been sheltered from such emotions in his community.

Sunburn, a sled ride, and war
Jonas's first startling and disturbing memory in "The Giver" is of a sled ride down a snowy hill where he experiences the thrill of speed, freedom, and happiness. This memory contrasts with his previous concept of sameness and raises questions about the restrictive nature of his community.
