In this chapter,The Giver gives Jonas memories that are much more painful than his previous ones. This memory would and did actually hurt Jonas. It hurt so much Jonas begged for some pain relief but it was against the rules.
When Jonas got home he asked is Gabriel could sleep in his room for that night. For the first part of the night, he slept like the baby that he is, but his restlessness woke Jonas. In order to calm Gabe before he woke the rest of the family, Jonas rubs Gabe's back in a circular motion and pulled the memory of sailing forward. Gabe became calm. Jonas pulled his hand away. He had just given the slightest bit of that memory to Gabe. Now that memory in Jonas' mind was not as clear as it used to be.
