In class we talked about what a MEMORY is and students talked
to their partners about what memory they would have shared first
with Jonas.

Chapter 11
Lying on his stomach on a bed in the man's office, Jonas experiences the first passed memory. With the man's hands on his back, he finds himself no longer in the office, but on a snowy hill where he takes an exhilarating sled ride. Just as suddenly, he finds himself back in the office. The man passes a few more memories to Jonas, who does not find it unpleasant, even when the memory is of a painful sunburn. The man explains that the memories have to do with weather, something that was taken away with the decision for Sameness. As Jonas leaves for the evening, he asks the man what he should call him. The man tells him to call him The Giver.
