In Language arts our class is still reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. In the book Jonas, the main character, is selected to be the next Receiver. This means that he will have all of the memories of the past world. The Receiver before him will be the one to train him. This Receiver is called the Giver now because he is giving memories to Jonas, and Jonas is receiving them.
The first memory that the Giver gives to Jonas is the memory of snow, and sledding down a hill. If I were to be the Giver, and I had to choose which memory to give Jonas first, I would give him the memory of being on the water in a boat and looking out at the ocean. I would to this because I really like the idea of moving so quickly across the water, and am amazed at how beautiful the water can look as it stretches all around you.
