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.

  2. Ignacio, why do you think Jonas's parents describe love as something meaningless?
