Memory Transmission

The Giver passes on collective memories of the whole community to Jonas. Choose something that has happened in your community in the recent past and transmit that memory to Jonas with words. Consider why have you chosen that event to give him, what Jonas will learn from it, and how he will react .

You place your hands on Jonas’ back and transmit the following memory (recent historical event):The day it didn’t stop raining.So it was Agust 25 and just as i though that it was going to be a regular day it started raining(rain is pretty regular in thailand)but then out of no were i saw a huge wave of water travilling down the street.From that i learned that this would not be like any day i experienced.The street was flooded really bad i even saw some people swimming.But i was so afraid because we lived on an island,when i went down stairs to the reception it was so flooded that i had to swim.

Why did you choose this even to give to him? Because this was the day i experienced my first bad flood.Everything i saw and knew got destroyed i even saw a mudslide that was in view of my apartment because my apartment is in view of a mountain.The scariest thing i saw on that day was a typhoon it was fairly sizeable.I even saw a dog being pushed into the air. But that was not the worst houses were being teared apart a part of our buildings roof got tore apart like scissors through paper.

What would Jonas learn about the world from this transmission? The world is full of dangers.He will learn about natural disaster.

How would he react? I think he would react very frightened and nervous.I also think that he will also be greatful for me showing him this particular memory
