In chapter 11 in the giver Jonas receives his first memory. We were asked what If we were the Giver what memory we would have shared with Jonas. I think my first memory I would have shared with Jonas would have been color, one of the things that is hard not to notice if you live in the world we do. We see it everyday don’t we? The exact memory I would give him would be of a rainbow that you can see from the corner of your eye when a sprinkler is on.
Another thing I might have given Jonas as a first memory is when its raining but the sun is still out. I love it when this happens, its so beautiful. He would see the sun and rain two in one and both really beautiful!

That is a great idea, Isha! I can’t believe I didn’t think of something like that, a rainbow. I see in most of the blog posts everyone wants Jonas to receive a pleasant first memory. Nice post! I love the picture. Do you know where it is from?
Thanks! I’m not sure if you can see this but in the caption of the picture but it says it from Flickr CC. Thats a good observation about the pleasant first memories.
