Jonas is receiving the memories from the giver, he doesn't realize how much pain he is going to be in. But I feel like Jonas is different than the Giver. He's not as loyal and doesn't realize how much trouble he will be in if he tells people but yet he still tries to hint people in on his training. For example he was walking home from training with Asher and he tried to explain to him the color red because everything is sameness after laws were changed on earth. The sun was removed and along with different races, now everything is the same but the Receiver has the power to see the differences, see the color and he has all of the memories from when the world did have color and the sun and different races. Receiving all of the painful and hurtful memories will be a challenge Jonas must overcome but also keeping his mouth shut about his training because if he doesn't he may be banished from the community for ever.

          I can kind of relate to Jonas because he is training and is being taught by his teacher which in my case would be like practicing basketball and my coach would be my teacher because he pushes me and makes me overcome challenging obstacles which makes me become a better basketball player and Jonas has to over come the painful memories to become the Receiver.

In the giver there is really only one perspective and that is Jonas'es and he kind of unfolds the story with us the readers and it feels like were with him when he keeps discovering more and more about this society and the secrets and what is really going on. but the main person who's perspective is missing would probably be the person in control of the society because no one knows what he's thinking and no one even knows about him yet none of his ideas are being showed in the text so i think the book is a guessing game of what's really gonna happen in the end just because it doesn't show any real feelings they feel like there all fake and nothing is real it is just a world of other people bossing you around and thinking for you. 

             I feel the same way when I'm in school or at a camp because you can't think like oh i'm going to play basketball in 10 minutes or I'm going to eat in 10 minutes they choose it for you so i do know what Jonas'es world feels like, i have a feeling of what it is.
