a new feeling, love and happiness

One day when Jonas go to the Annex for training, he saw The Giver a little sad so Jonas ask to him why was he sad and it was because of a memory that The Giver had.So Jonas want to help The Giver to don not feel pain anymore and take him away the me
mory.  When Jonas saw what was the memory about it was so sad and painful. The memory was about that Jonas was in a war and all was
destroyed and he saw a boy laying on the floor and he was like almost dying so Jonas gave water to him. After that the boy stay still and he died. Then it appear a man with a horse, then the man fall from the horse like he was dying, then the memory end. Jonas wake up from the memory and stay like shocked because he had never seen so much pain.

Now that Jonas only think on the memory of war, the Giver now give to Jonas joyful, happiness, and fun memories. So Jonas ask to the Giver fro his best memory, his happiest memory. So Jonas lay on the bed and the Giver put his hands on his back and starts the memory: he was in a roo
m with a family and in the corner there was a tree full of light and decorations, and old people were living with childrens and adults and that is rare for Jonas because that doesn't happens any more. Jonas had a great feeling that he couldn't describe it, it was love. When the memory ended Jonas thanked the Giver for that happy memory. He was fascinated for the feeling of love, that he got home and asked his parents if they love him. Their parents got furious because they said that, that word was meaningless.

The next day when he go with his friend Asher and Fiona they were playing a game with guns like if they were an imaginary war, and Jonas start thinking of the memory of warfare, and he said to stop playing that, that they didn't know what they are playing. When it was night dad told that tomorrow he would released the twins so he have to sleep well. Then Jonas go to the Giver to ask him a question about the last receiver, what happened to her? They tell them the "big failure", his name was Rosemary, she failed because e she started the training with painful memories, not with joyful memories so she stay shocked of receiving too much painful memories and she applied for released. So all the memories came back to people and the Giver had to take them away.

new colors for Jonas

No that Jonas may lie, in the Morning Rituals he did not tell his dreams to his mom, he lie. Also something was happening something very strange to Jonas, he starts seeing the things differently,   HE STARTS SEEING COLORS FOR THE FIRST TIME, Jonas was very surprised he had never see colors before. He stayed surprised also because he was told that any people in the community had never see colors in all their lifes and they would never see. The first color he sees was the color in red. He saw it in the hair of Fiona for the first time.

Jonas ask to the Giver "why not all the people see colors like me?" and it was because if they all see colors they would like to take decisions and all would be a disaster, and the government could not control all the citizens with the decisions. Jonas had a memory that some men with the skinned black were hunting real elephants, so one day in the past they exist real elephants. The Giver would past the first pain memory to Jonas, and it was in a sleding, in a snow mountain he was sledding down and he fall of the sled and break a bone and when he wake up he still feels the pain.

Jonas was told that he would have to choose from a twins that would be born in some weeks, that he would have to choose between one twin and another twin, one would be released and the other twin would stay in the Community. When all that past Jonas help Gabriel to sleep and when he touches the back of Gabriel it past him the memory of the sail boat in the lake. But why? Maybe is because the light colors eyes? Now Gabriel have a memory!!!
