I am very sorry to give you 'that' awful memory. Please forgive me.
When Jonas shows up to the givers room, he sees him laying down and as Jonas readies to leave, The Giver asked if he could take some of his pain and Jonas agrees
Okay.
Well let's forget about that memory how about I transmit another happy memory.
memory of a war. He himself is lying on the ground with his hand cut off and his comrade is dying slowly.
Happy Birthday My Beloved son!!!!!!!!!!!
He couldn't take the pain of the memory and opened his eyes. The giver apologizes for transmitting this memory.
The Giver, trying to make up for the whole warfare thing, transmits some really good memories to Jonas
A birthday party, for instance, which shows Jonas how nice it is to be singled out as an individual, instead of always the same as everyone else.
This is awsome. Thank You this is the best day in my life.
When he gets to experience riding a horse, Jonas sees how wonderful the bond between man and animal can be. When he sits beside a campfire in the dark, he knows at last the joy of solitude.
