I'm still reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. Today I read chapters 13 and 14. I found them to very interesting because of what I know from the previous chapters. These chapters were about Jonas's training. It begans with Jonas telling the Giver that he doesn't like the fact that people are not able to make their own choices. Then the Giver explained to him that if everyone got to make their own choices, then their community would be in chaos. That's when they agreed that Sameness was right in this situation. After awhile Jonas began to get restless. He wanted to see if he could give memories to some of the people in his everyday life. When him and Asher were walking, and saw some flowers, Jonas put his hand on Asher's shoulder to try to give him the memory of color. But nothing happened. Also he accidentally transmitted a memory to Gabriel, the baby who was a guest in their dwelling, because when he rubbed the child to try and quiet him down, he was thinking of the memory. Just like that it has vanished. Later on in chapter 14 the Giver transmitted some bad memories to Jonas. When the memory was gone, Jonas was complaning. He was mad that only him and the Giver had to hold all these painful memories. That's when the Giver reminded him why their job, was so special.
