THE GIVER

WOO HOO!!! Chapter 11!
Jonas gets a memory of something very unfamiliar to him.....SNOW!!! We find out that the community has something called "climate control" so that they have no changes in weather, and "sameness", so that they have no hills. The old Receiver makes an interesting statement that "Honor is not the same as power." He says that this job that they have has a lot on honor not power.
The second memory that Jonas is given is SUNSHINE. He gets the word for it without being told and he enjoys the feeling of warmth on his body. When he has finished the second memory he and the old Receiver talk and the old Receiver tells him that he has learned from the failure of the previous Receiver. Jonas tells him that he wants to experience some of the pain and that he is brave.
The old Receiver gives Jonas some pain in the form of sunburn. Jonas thinks that the pain isn't really going to be that bad after he receives it. Jonas thanks the old Receiver and prepares to leave, but asks the old Receiver before he leaves "What should I call you?" and he is told to call him "The Giver."
