The Memory of Breaking A Bone in The Giver By Marta B.C.

A very painful memory the The Giver gave Jonas was of sledding down a much steeper hill, in which he breaks his leg, and severely cuts his face. For Jonas, the pain starts with the, “first wave”, of pain, and then he feels like he is on fire, and the pain stops. This is the first memory that Jonas receives that is TRULY painful for him.

Memory By Mariana R

If I was The Giver I would pass on the memory of going to the beach one day and playing in the sand, water and sun. I would pass the memory of how the sand would feel against your feet and what noise the waves made as they hit the sand. That is what memory I would pass on if I was The Giver.

Giver Memory By: Moshe

The memory that I would give is the first Christmas I got presents. There was love everywhere and I was happy. I never wanted Christmas to end. I would come running down the stairs to see if any presents were for me. Christmas is also my favorite holiday. That is why I would give him the memory of Christmas.

The Giver Memories by Alex G

The Giver is able to give people feelings and memories of the past. If I were able to give someone in the utopian society a memory I have, it would be the feeling of playing and cuddling with animals. In the said to be utopian world, they do no know what an animal is. That is why I would give them the feeling of playing with animals, specifically, a cat. Playing with animals relieves my stress and makes me happy. The people in the utopian world need that stress reliever and have a little small time to relax and play.

Jonas’s First Memory: By Cole

I think that Jonas’s first memory should have been a memory about the actual OUTSIDE world out of the community. If it were like this, Jonas would get a feel for real life; not boring life in Sameness and within the Community. Also, in the memory, there should be animals like hippos, elephants, etc, so he knows that they actually exist. In the memory, he would be sitting in the warm sun, or on a beach, or the wide open plains. I would give this memory to Jonas because it is important to know what is going on in the real world.

The Giver Chapters 9-11 By Osezele O

from jatakacs

Like I said in my earlier post in Language Arts class we have been reading ‘The Giver’ By Lois Lowry. In chapters 9-11 Jonas  gets his first memory from the Giver. It was a  memory of a sled ride, downhill while it was snowing Jonas thought this was a wonderful memory. If I was the Giver I would have given Jonas the memory of  a rainbow first so that he could understand color.

My Piano Teachers By Marta B.C.

My current piano teacher, Marianna (not the Marla in my class), is the coolest teacher ever, other than she can be strict sometimes! She helps me the piano pieces that I have to play at the recital, and she helps me learn new piano scales, and types of music. My old teacher in England, Aza, was equally good, and they even studied in the same place and city. They are both from Russia! They give theory, and new piano pieces every week! I am incredibly happy with them!

Memory Choice by Cam

In the Giver, Jonas has to receive memories such as sledding down a hill. If I could have any memory then it would probably be skiing down a hill. This would be really fun because in The Giver there are no hills. I also really enjoy skiing.

The Giver; Jonas’ First Memory by Sam H

If I were The Giver, the first memory I would give to Jonas would be color. The community has no color, and the memory of color would be important. Color is an important thing in our world, and a world with no color at all is hard to imagine. Color can change the entire feel of a place with it’s presence. Just try to imagine a world without colors besides black and white.

What I think Jonas’s First Memory Should Be by Josh K

In LA class we have been reading the book The Giver. In it the main character Jonas becomes receiver of Memory and is passed down memories of the past. It is a great honor to be the Receiver.

Jonas should have been given a memory of ice cream first because it is a memory of sweetness. Jonas would enjoy it and then later receive a harsher memory, like the concept of a giant world. The second would be brief, but just enough to get Jonas thinking. Jonas’s training and memories would start out very very quickly, but as he progressed everything would get harder and harder. Ice cream would be good to start, because Jonas has never had a choice of food. Someone has always done it for him. I think as the story progresses Jonas’s responsibilities and choices will increase.
