First Day as a Reciever

Jonas has been given his assignment of Reciever of Memory and he opened his folder an lokked at a printed sheet that said some instructions that he read them, he started questining himsel about the last one that said "you are allowed to lie", he was confused he had never lied he had been taught that but had their parents ever lied to him? Did they also recieved those instrctions? The next day Jonas entered the Annex were he realized that door in ther were locked. Jonas entered the locked door and saw the thousands ok books that were in there. There was the Reciever, that he told Jonas to call him The Giver, he allows Jonas to ask whatever he what but he didnt had a question. He continued and explained his task and that he will transmit some memories to Jonas from a long time ago. He said that the memories gives him wisdom but it weigheds him a lot, that was like going downhill through deep snow on a sled, but Jonas did not undestood what he said because he ha never seen a sled or snow or downhill. He tells Jonas to take his tunic, he turn off the speacker which surprises Jonas because no one has the ability to do that, and he puts his hands on Jonas back to transmit the memory of snow.

Jonas felt nothing but later he shivers and felt the cold air one part of him was on the Annex and the other at the top of a hill standing on a sled and he start sliding downhill and eventually it stopped. He explained Jonas that this memory was long ago and that climate control got rid of those things to make transportation and agriculture easier, he said that the community has sameness. The second memory Jonas recieve was sunshine, Jonas realized that this was before climate control. Before Jonas leave he asked why they warned him that it would be painful. So he recieved the memory of sun burn and Jonas said that hurt a LOT! pooor Jonas :(

Then she seemed to notice his discomfort and to realize its origin.
No doors in the community were locked, ever. None that Jonas
knew of, anyway. (73)

- These quote makes me think that if they dont dont lock their doors is because they have absolute security in their community and that is why they dont have to fear anything. That also makes me think that they dont have privacy and maybe they dont need it because everyone is the "same" so you have nothing different and you dont need privacy.

8. You may lie.
- These is the last of the instruction that Jonas had inhis folder. This makes me think that know Jonas can say whatever he wants and nothing will happend, but it also brings me some questions like if everyone when recieve their assignment get the same instrctions and now everyone is lying and also if Jonas parents are not telling the truth to him. 

"Ouch," he said loudly, and shifted on the bed. "Owwww," he said,
wincing at the shift, and even moving his mouth to speak made his
face hurt.
 - this quote make me think that as The Giver talked about climate control Jonas and the people from the community had never felt something like that, that pain that mekaes you skin pretty, because everything is the same they have no season no anything everything is the same. Sameness. 

Final thoughts
These last chapter that i read of the Giver brought me some questions as i already wrote, but it was very intersenting the thing about giving Jonas the memories and making him feel something new was very interesting.
