~ Chapter 10 + 11 ~

In these chapters, Jonas goes to his first day of training, there he meets the Giver. Jonas' job is basically to hold all of the memories of the whole world. All the happy, sad, and painful. In chapter ten, Jonas and the Giver talk about why Jonas was there and what he was going to be receiving.

In chapter eleven, Jonas gets his first memory, a sled ride on a hill. Jonas thought this was amazing. he actually felt like he was there. He could see the snow falling and feel the cold, crisp air. He felt the wind on his face when he went down the hill. Now this was a happy memory, the Chief Elder said there was going to be pain too. The second memory that Jonas received was sunshine. The heat warmed his body to create a pleasant sensation. The last memory that Jonas received was painful. It was sunburn. Jonas said that it hurt a lot, but little did he know that there were more memories to come that would hurt more than pain in his wildest dreams.
