THE GIVER:

Today in my reading, Jonas started his training. It would consist of long hours of trying to get all of the horrible memories that the community could not handle into his head. The Giver explained to him that it would not be easy and that some of the memories would be rather painful and hurtful but since he was called to be the up coming reaciever then he would just have to get used to it. When he started the memories were fin and he was learning all sorts of things that he never heard of like snow and a sled and just simple things like that. He even started to learn about colors and how many there were. This was definatley an amazing thing for him.
