The Giver

2. • Jonas is selected to inherit the position of "Receiver of Memory,” The person who
stores all the past memories of the time before Sameness, in case they are ever
needed to aid in decisions that others lack the experience to make. As Jonas
receives the memories from the Giver, he discovers the power of knowledge. The
people in his community are happy because they do not know of a better life, but the
knowledge of what they are missing out on could create major chaos. He faces a
dilemma: Should he stay with the community, his family living a shallow life without
love, color, choices, and knowledge, or should he run away to where he can live a full
life? Jonas

3. • Jonas has to make the decision to pick a life without
color, knowledge, and important memories or he can
run away and give Gabe the opportunity to live the
proper way. I think Jonas should live his life the proper
way, with color and knowledge. I also think that he
should take Gabe with him for him to have a better
chance at life than Jonas did.
