2. Jonas
• When Jonas and other Elevens become Twelves in
December, they receive their Assignments that assign
them to their particular fields of profession. As someone
with intelligence, integrity, courage, and a certain special
capacity, Jonas is selected for the most honored and
respected Assignment in the community. He is assigned
to become a Receiver of Memories who will succeed the
current Receiver. A Receiver of Memories is the one
person in the community who has access to all the
memories of the past. He must keep these memories
within himself until he can train a new Receiver to whom
he can pass them. Thus, the Receiver has knowledge of
things that no one in the community has access to, but
the Receiver also has the responsibility to shoulder the
burden of sorrow and pain that the memories bring.
3. Jonas
• Together with The Giver, Jonas comes up with a plan to change the
entire community. He decides to flee the community for the
Elsewhere, a place he has only heard about that lies far beyond. If
Jonas leaves, the memories he has received from The Giver will be
let loose. They will find their way back to the community and to the
people. The people will have ready access to the memories that will,
in turn, give them knowledge about things that have been missing in
their lives. They will come to the same kind of awakening that Jonas
did when he was given memories of the past from The Giver.
• Jonas departs for the long and difficult journey during which he
faces cold and starvation as well as the danger of being found.
Seeing lights in the far distance after having come a long way,
Jonas is confident that he has reached his destination.

6. Titanic
• Many people lost their lives from the
titanic. The titanic had 3 stories first-class
second-class and third-class. First-class
were for the rich people. Second-class
were for middle-class. Third-class were for
the poor. When the ship sank the people
who were at the bottom of the ship was
the first to die.
7. Titanic
• By 2:05 there were still over 1,500 people
left on the sinking ship. They didn’t see the
ice berg ahead so they hit the ice berg and
no one paid attention about it until they hit
it and the people on third-class were
panicing.
