The first good memory the Giver gave to Jonas in The Giver, was the memory of riding a sled down a hill in the snow.
The giver is pleased with Jonas's reaction to his first memory, as Jonas demonstrates understanding and empathy for the person in the memory. The giver sees potential in Jonas to become a good Receiver of Memory.
Jonas learns love from the Giver's favorite memory, the Christmas memory. He thinks love family-wise is a good feeling.
The solider memory, snow sledding, a sunburn, the sun, snow, coldness, warmth colors (the rainbow), and various other ones.
The Giver believes Jonas is a good receiver because he displays qualities like sensitivity, courage, and openness to new experiences. Jonas has shown potential to understand complex emotions and memories, making him well-suited for the responsibilities of being the Receiver of Memory.
He feels much lighter. The Giver (former Receiver of Memory) holds so many memories. So many good, bad memories in all. With one memory dispersed from his soul, he feels much lighter. One less thing to hold in his brain.
Because Jonas must receive all good and bad memories from the Giver. The Giver passes this memory to Jonas so he could have wisdom. The more knowledge Jonas will have based off the memories, the more Jonas can advise the Elders of Committee when they need Jonas's help.
An example of an inciting incident in "The Giver" is when Jonas is chosen to be the Receiver of Memory during the Ceremony of Twelve. This event sets the stage for the story by disrupting the normal order of the community and propelling Jonas into a new role that challenges his understanding of the world he lives in.
That is a very good question. The receiver before Jonas, the Giver, is very mysterious. However, we know that he helped Jonas and Gabriel escape to Elsewhere. I do not know the Giver's name. But we know that he is old because the title shows him as an old man.
Jonas doesn't want to play the good guys bad guys game anymore because it involves pretend shooting each other which reminds him of the memory of war the Giver gave him.
Volunteer hours help decide what Jonas' assignment would be. The Elders would observe Jonas' volunteer hours to see what Jonas is good for.
In "The Giver," Jonas's relationship with his father is loving but also distant. His father is emotionally detached due to the rules and expectations of their community, which causes tension in their relationship. Despite this, Jonas still cares for his father and tries to understand his actions.
The Giver holds back memories of pain, suffering, and war from Jonas. These memories are deemed too traumatic for Jonas to experience and are kept hidden to protect him from the harsh realities of the world.
