Jonas went home and slept after he finished his training. The next day he woke up and went to the morning ritual and remember that he couldn't tell anything about his training and that he needed to lie so he lied, the didn't tell them about his dream about the snow and the sled. Then Jonas went to training and Fiona was there so they walked together and unexpectedly Fiona's hair CHANGED! It was like the apple. Then he just went to talk to the receiver so he could tell him what is happening with him. When he was in the Agora, the Giver transmitted another memory of the sled and the snow and he saw the sled CHANGE and he figured he was seeing the color RED, an amazing color. The Giver told him that the first color he saw was red too and Jonas was so confused he didn't know that other colors existed and he didn't know why did the colors desapeared. The Giver said that they relinquished colors before they went to Sameness. Then the Giver showed a rainbow memory so Jonas could see all the colors. After a while Jonas could see all the colors but he just see them some times and very quickly and then black and white again. Then he tried to transmit to Asher a memory because he thought it was unfair that other people couldn't see colors but it didn't work. After that he revived a memory about some people that killed an elephant and he noticed that animals exist he also noticed that 2 people were white and the other 2 where black and that animals have feelings. Then the Giver gave him another memory and this memory started Jonas on top of a hill with a sled going down and suddenly he was going faster and faster he couldn't stop so he felt into the ground and he landed on his leg and for the first lime he felt real pain, his leg was broken. Then the Giver gave Jonas another memory about hunger, he explained that long ago there was to much people and there was not enough food for everyone. Then he went home and he took care of Gabriel and in the middle of the night Gabriel woke up and Jonas went to pat him in the back and unexpectedly he was transmitting a memory about a sail boat and then Gabriel went to to sleep.
Text Response:
" No, nothing. I thought for a minute that they were wilting, and we should let the Gardening Crew know they needed more watering." (99)
This quote means that Jonas was trying to pass a memory to Asher because he thought it was unfair that other people didn't saw colors. But then Asher was uncomfortable because they didn't touch people that aren't of the family unit so he took of his hand off his shoulder and Jonas realized that he was not transmitting his memories to Asher. Then he invented an excuse so Asher would not found out that Jonas was trying to transmit a memory.
"But what wisdom do you get from hunger?" (111)
This quote means that if there are many more people, people will get very hungry because there are not so much food for many people. So other people will starve and that can lead to war. Also I think that you get wisdom from hunger because of the experience.
Final Thought:
After reading this chapters I think that the book will keep interesting me because there will always be surprises and pain. Also I think that Jonas will not be quiet about his training and all the people will notice that colors exist and they will make a rebellion against the elders and everyone will like the community to be in a new community where all citizens make their own decisions. Also I think that Jonas will help them by seeing memories of the past so they don't make the same mistakes and he can have many ideas from other rebellions that have happened. I will like to know if Jonas could keep a secret about that he transmit the memory to Gabe and I will like to known if Gabe will remember the memory that has been transmitted to him when he grows.
