The BIG moment The Giver chp. 6-8

Many new events happen during chapters 6-8. To start, Jonas now turns twelve, and this is the date when the ceremony happens. The book explains how sevens and eights secretly start learning to ride bikes so they are ready when they turn nine. Jonas attends the ceremony, always thinking about what will be his career and what does he not wants. When the chief gets to his turn, she skipps Jonas. This will lead to a lot of nervousness between people but his jobe finnally gets revealed; he is the next reciever of memory!

"Jonas bowed his head and searched trhough his mind. What had he done wrong?"(58)
This is a moment of the book where there is a lot of suspense, it makes the reader think what would appen to Jonas. Why did Jonas get so concerned? Did he actually do something wrong? These are some of the questions that poeople start thinking, and as it says in my paragraph above, this is where he gets skipped and at the end gets chosen ate the reciever of memory!

-"Jonas," she said, turning to him, but speaking in a voice the entire community could hear,"the training required of you involves pain. Physical Pain"-(62) Why did the chief elder say that? will Jonas' training risk his life? Will his life be changed for ever?! This might be revealed on my next post.
