Chapter 6 of the book “The Giver” introduces us to Jonas, the main character, who is now twelve years old. Jonas is nervous and excited because he will be assigned a job that will determine his future in the community. He goes to the Auditorium with his classmates, where the Chief Elder, a respected person in the community, assigns jobs to each child.
As the assignments begin, Jonas notices that his friends receive jobs that suit their interests and skills. However, when it’s his turn, he is skipped over. He starts to panic, thinking that he has done something wrong. But then, the Chief Elder explains that Jonas has been selected for a very special and important job called the Receiver of Memory.
The Receiver of Memory is a unique role in the community. This person holds all the memories of the past, including both the good and the bad. The Chief Elder explains that the Receiver is responsible for advising the community’s leaders and helping them make important decisions based on the wisdom gained from these memories.
Jonas is both honored and confused by this assignment. He wonders why he was chosen and what it means for his future. The Chief Elder tells him that he will begin his training with the current Receiver, who will transfer all the memories to him. This process will be painful at times, but it is necessary for him to gain the knowledge and wisdom needed for his new role.
As Jonas leaves the Auditorium, he feels a mix of emotions. He is excited about the opportunity to learn and make a difference in the community, but he is also worried about the challenges he will face. He wonders how his life will change and what he will discover through the memories he will receive.
