Summary
Jonas is ready for another day at his training, but he still sees things "change". When he arrives to his training, very curiously he asks the giver about those changes. They were colors. Jonas was starting to see the color red! Then, the Giver gives him a memory of excruciating pain, which was a memory of a broken leg. Then the Giver shows Jonas an elephant hunt memory. Aside of all the cruelty and blood there was, there is another thing that impacts Jonas: People with different color of skin, which lets him know that there were races before.
Reactions
"We've never completely mastered Sameness. I suppose the genetic scientists are still hard at work trying to work the kinks out. Hair like Fiona's must drive them crazy"(95)
Why are these people trying to master sameness? They should be proud on how humanity was before. People who live there don't even know what they are doing. They seem like robots, with no purpose; just condemned work all their lives for nothing.
Finale
I
wonder what would happen if people of the communities were given choices. Jonas mentions it in the book, saying it would be scary. But how would they know without even trying? Will Jonas and the Giver even try to change the community's faith?
