Chapter 3: In chapter 3 of The Giver, we learn about Jonas, the main character, and his life in the community. We discover that everyone in the community is assigned a job when they turn twelve, and Jonas is excited to find out what his assignment will be. We also learn that the community is very strict and follows many rules, such as the rule against bragging or being different. Jonas is a kind and caring person who loves his family and friends.
Chapter 4: In chapter 4, Jonas attends the Ceremony of Twelve, where all the twelve-year-olds in the community receive their assignments. Jonas is nervous but excited to find out what his job will be. As the ceremony progresses, Jonas realizes that he is the last one to receive his assignment. When his name is finally called, he is chosen to be the Receiver of Memory. This is a very important and special job, but Jonas is unsure of what it entails.
Chapter 5: In chapter 5, Jonas begins his training as the Receiver of Memory. He meets the current Receiver, who is now called The Giver. The Giver explains that his job is to hold all the memories of the past, both good and bad, so that the community can live without pain or suffering. Jonas learns that he will receive these memories from The Giver, and it will be his responsibility to keep them safe. As Jonas starts receiving memories, he experiences things he has never felt before, like snow and sunshine, and begins to question the way his community lives.
