Stepping in War...

Summary

Jonas walks in to another day of training with the Giver. When he arrives, the giver is feeling a lot of pain, which he transfers to Jonas. This pain turns out to be the memory of WAR. After this, the Giver feels really bad for Jonas, so he transfers him the memory of Christmas and Love. This was really new to Jonas, he had never felt such strong feelings as Love. Thinking about it all day, Jonas finally makes his own decision when he stop taking the pills. Finally, after a talk with the Giver, the Giver confesses a thought he had: What if he could help people get memories back?

"If you floated off in the river, I suppose I could help the whole community the way I helped you.  It ´s an interesting concept. I need to think about it some more. Maybe well talk about it again sometime. But not now".(145)
I wonder what is the giver planning. Will the community get the memories back? Or will the plan not work if they try it? This chapter has let me a lot to predict, but it is also showing that something strange will happen in just a few chapters. I think that the climax might happen when this event occurs. What will Jonas do when it happens?

It could be probable that the plan won´t work. What would happen if instead of helping people, it destroyed them? There could even be a darker purpose on the story and turn the whole book around. Maybe I could find out on the last few chapters. The question comes again; What will Jonas do?Reaction GIF: what?, Robert Downey Jr., Sherlock Holmes
