The Receiver of Memory is seen as an honor because they hold the memories of the community's past, allowing them to advise and guide the community based on historical experiences. Their role is essential in passing down knowledge and wisdom to ensure the well-being and success of the community.
Jonas selection as the receiver of memory is more of a punishment than honor, throughout the story when I kept reading I found out that the receiver is given so much honor because they are lifting the burden of the people. By experiencing alot of painful memories and gaining wisdom suffering just to give the elders a piece of advise.
Initially, Jonas feels a sense of pride at being chosen as the Receiver of Memory. However, as he undergoes his training and learns about the pain and burden of holding all of society's memories, he begins to question the honor of the role.
He wasn't sure what he felt because he knew it was an honor but he didn't think he was ready.
The Receiver of Memory holds all the memories of the community and acts as a source of wisdom for the community's leaders. In a different culture, the Receiver of Memory might be considered a historian, sage, or oracle.
Jonas has been selected to be the new Receiver of Memory from page 59-60 in the book.
