Event: The Giver Giving Memories to Jonas

Memory 1: The first memory Jonas receives from the Giver was him sledding down the snowy hill.

Memory  2: Jonas is given a sad memory of an elephant being brutally slaughtered. It is his very first "disturbing" memory.

Memory 3: For the first time, The Giver gives Jonas a memory of great physical pain. It is a memory in which he is sledding downhill uncontrollably until he is thrown into the air, then falling on the ground. It is a memory that gives Jonas an understanding of true physical pain, something the rest of the community never felt.

Memory 4: The Giver gives Jonas a memory of death and warfare. Jonas watches as a young boy slowly dies before his eyes. 

Memory 5: The Giver also gives Jonas his(the giver) personal favorite memory. It is a memory of family, presents, food, and warmth. Jonas understands "love" through this memory.

Memory 6: Jonas sees that there are other ways to live. He understands that the way of living in the community is planned, there have been other ways of doing things in the past. In The Giver's favorite memory, Jonas sees that grandparents live with the rest of the family. In the community, the elderly live by themselves at the House of the Old.

Memory 7: The Giver telling Jonas the story of Rosemary, the failed Receiver ten years ago, The Giver explains that memories are "forever." If Jonas were to be lost in the river, his memories would still live on. They would somehow find their way back to the people in the community just as Rosemary's had when she had been released.

Memory 8: Watching the release of the smaller twin baby, Jonas recognizes that the baby has died just as the young boy had in the memory of death. The earlier memory helps him realize that his father has killed the infant. 
Memory 9: Jonas tries to hold on to the memory of sunshine in order to warm himself and Gabe from the cold.
