The ceremonies had finally end and Jonas and asher were heading home when Jonas noticed that people started to treat him different because he was the new receiver of memories. Jonas was fealing separate, a little different from the rest. When he first met the giver who was the last reciever of memories before him he was in a room full with outstanding furniture and with a huge number of books. The Giver started to pass a small memories to Jonas which was snow, then he gave him the memories of sunset and then he gave him the memory of sun burn. During the transmission of memories, Jonas experienced pain and pleasure. After he had this memories Jonas saw the color red and he told this to the Giver. The Giver understood this and he was going to give the memory of a rainbow so he can know more colors.
A quote that called my attention was "Climate control. Snow made growing food difficult, limited the agricultural periods. And unpredictible weather made transportation almost impossible at times." This quote really called my attention because it made me wonder in a lot of stuff. one of them was that if they control weather they should live under a dome or something. Another thing was that I think that Jonas will try to brake or do something to the wether control so people can see snow and other weathers. I also made a connection the Truman show because i thought they live in a dome just as Truman did.
In conclusion these book was and continues to be a really entertaining book full with surprises. In this book I could difference a lot of feeling from Jonas when he was being pass the memories. Also it made me wander how was their old world like, was it like ours or was it different.
I think there is a good possibility that Jonas' community is situated under a dome to make climate control easier, I would really like to see how they explain this in the book and I think you have an interesting idea and a good connection.
