The ceremony began, every one was ready for it. Everyone new what they had to do. They started with selecting families to the newborn. Then all the ceremonies of two, three, four, fives, sixes, sevens and finally the Eights. The nines got their bicycles and the tens got their hair cut, the elevens had to change their clothing. After a long time watingit was finally time for the ceremony of the twelve, what everyone was wating for. the order was really important, so the students took theiur place. The chief strated at number one, Jonas was located in number 19. He waited impatiently until the chief got to his number, but the ceremony had an unexped turn. The Chief continued to number 20 and skiped 19, which was Jonas. The hole community gasped....
" Jonas" she said, speaking not to him alone but to the entire community of which he was a part, " you will be trained to be our next Receiver of Memory. We thank you for your childhood." (64)
Its amazing how important this job is for Jonas` communitie and how many years they had been wating for this job to be assigned to the correct person. I do think Jonas is the adequate person for the job, and the Elders never make a wrong decition so....
" They both walked to the center of the room. Jonas put his tunic back on. " Goodbye sir," he said."Thank you for my first day." (76)
I find interesting how Jonas is thankful for the work "The Giver" and himself had done durnog that amount of time, but it was worth it, right? Jonas is a long way from finishing his training, but he knows what he needs to do.
Jonas feel very worried when the Chief director skiped him, he thought he had done something wrong. he thought that after the Ceremony everyone was going to be disappointed about him, specially his parents...
As a Reciver of Memories, Jonas had the possibility to lie with out any consequence... Is that good of bad? Will Jonas lie for good, or for bad?
Jonas recived new memories, some where of joy, but other where no... he looked forward to more memories, but know he dose not what to expect now.
