Painfully Receiving Memories

Jonas life has been starting to change completely since chapter 4. Now Jonas experienced something he never had..... he had stirring and now he is part of the people who take stirrings pills.  Also the ceremonies of all ages have started and Jonas is anxious of what assignment he would be chosen. The ceremonies of ones through 11 is done and now it was number 19, Jonas turn to change his life. The chief elder skipped Jonas turn and he started to be nervous but at the end the chief elder told that Jonas had been selected to be the receiver of memories and it was a really life changer for Jonas since the receiver of memories was one of the most important jobs in the community.

When I was reading I was very wondered about this quote, "Jonas, the training required of you involves pain. Physical pain." I really wonder how receiving memories might cause you physical pain? The receiver of memories might also not be the job we are all thinking that consists on receiving memories but I predict that maybe this new job of Jonas would surprise him and change completely himself. Also in this part Jonas sees a beard man in the crow and I think that he might be the same as the man in the cover page. Is he the giver? I think he is but I don't know what his job is and how he would influence Jonas. 



















This book has been an amazing experience and it is one of the few books I liked. I think what  the author makes that this book is so interesting is that she really describes everything very goo, all the characters and places sometimes I think I know them. This book is very easy to visualize and since I haven't seen the movie sometimes this book promotes me to become a better reader each time. I think the author has done an amazing job with this book and I cant wait to keep reading it.

  1. Martin I liked the part when you predicted about the quote and I thought the same thing. I had this in mind because being a Receiver of Memories required training and this training will change Jonas.
