The Giver asks Jonas to forgive him because he feels guilty for the pain and suffering caused by the memories he has transmitted to Jonas. He feels responsible for exposing Jonas to the harsh realities of the world and understands the burden it has placed on him. Asking for forgiveness is his way of seeking reconciliation and redemption for his role in Jonas's suffering.
The Giver asks for forgiveness because he knows that transmitting painful memories is difficult for Jonas. He understands the burden he is placing on Jonas by sharing these memories and wants to make sure Jonas does not blame him for the suffering he is experiencing. Asking for forgiveness shows that the Giver cares about Jonas's emotional well-being.
The Giver's job is to transmit memories to Jonas.
He asked them if they loved him. but they don't know what love is, so it is meaningless. they said that they enjoy him and take pride in his accomplishments.
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.
In Chapter 7 of "The Giver," Jonas accidentally causes a Release when he asks his father about what it entails. He is unaware of the true nature of Release, mistakenly thinking it is a positive event. His curiosity leads to a sense of guilt and realization about the darker aspects of his community.
The Chief Elder asks Jonas if he knew about the use of the discipline wand on the Old, similar to how it is used on children. This conversation takes place during the Ceremony of Twelve, where Jonas is announced as the new Receiver of Memory. It highlights the strict control and regulation that the community imposes on its members.
He realizes after spending time with the Giver that they know nothing of feelings or love or how the world really should be. That's why he asks his parents...."Do you love me" and he gets scolded. They have no concept of feelings. Before: Jonas' parents treated him like an everyday son--- dependent. (like most of us no) Now: Jonas' parents treat Jonas with great respect. Also, since Jonas is an adult, he can basically do whatever he wants, unlike when he was 11

Oh, dude, Jonas's sister in "The Giver" is named Lily. She's the one who's all innocent and sweet, like the total opposite of me. But yeah, her name is Lily. So, if you ever need a babysitter for Lily, don't call me.
Some of the things Jonas begins ti perceive and eventually begin to see is colours. In his world there are no colours and everything is known in shades. In the ceremony the chief elder explain that to be the Receiver of memory, you must have the capacity to see beyond. At first Jonas doesn't know what that means but later on he learns. At first he begins to see the colour red but only for brief moments, like the apple, the faces in the audience and Fiona's hair. When he asks the Giver about it he explains that colours were lost long long ago and no body remembers them anymore. Because Jonas starts to see colours the Giver continues helping him to discover the colours in the world
Jesus forgives any one that asks for forgiveness. Plus Jesus said this while on the cross, "Father, forgive them; they do not understand what they are doing." (Luke 23:34).
