In our LA class we are reading The Giver. In this book, Jonas, the main character, gets to receive memories of the world before. If I were to give Jonas a memory, I would give him a memory of swimming in the summer. For me, swimming is very calming. And I love swimming. I love to be surrounded by nature too, something Jonas might not get to experience. I also think that in a controlled society like the one in which Jonas lives, swimming would be somethings new. I always feel a sense of freedom and content when I swim. I think that for Jonas, to know what freedom is would change his perspective on life.
