Jonas remembered Asher waiting impatiently in class and the cheerful voice of Asher, "I want my smack!" Due to that, Asher got punished This represents in the age of 3. This represents the strict rules and consequences / punishments that the community has; that even applies to young children.

When Chief Elder had skipped Jonas and said that Jonas has not been assigned, Jonas was embarrassed and worried. However, he knew that he has been "selected".  I believe that this part of the book is an AHA moment that tells us Jonas is special, and he will be trained differently, and has qualities that others don't have.

Intelligence, integrity, courage, and for last, the capacity to see beyond. These are the four qualities that the receivers must have. The elder described: {"Intelligence," she said. "We are all aware that Jonas has been a top student throughout his school days. "Integrity," she said next. "Jonas has, like all of us, committed minor 4
transgressions." She smiled at him. "We expect that. We hoped,
also, that he would present himself promptly for chastisement, and
he has always done so. "Courage ," she went on. "Only one of us here today has ever
undergone the rigorous training required of a Receiver. He, of
course, is the most important member of the Committee: the current Receiver. It was he who reminded us, again and again, of the courage required.} This is the words of the wiser.

In the ceremony of 12, Chief Elder skipped Jonas while she announced the assignments for the twelves. But Chief Elder announced that Jonas was "selected" instead of getting assigned. He was selected/assigned as a receiver. This part of the book showed how weird the situation is for Jonas because Jonas thought he would be assigned just like all the other twelves that were getting assigned.

Jonas got his role in the community, and Chief Elder told him that he will get special training which involves pain, physical pain. What physical pain would Jonas get? Will he only get physical pain?

during his ceremony of 12 the Chief Elder skips Jonas and assigns the person next him the job. He goes on, but then he assigns the job of receiver to Jonas. This is very AHA as it tells us that Jonas is special and has qualities that others do not have.

I think the AHA moment is the part where Jonas was the selected as the Receiver. His heart swelled with gratitude and pride when the community cheered for him as a sign of accepting him, but he was also filled with fear at the same time because he did not know what his selection meant. It just shows how special he is.

What is the "Capacity to See Beyond"? The elder said, "Finally, The Receiver must have one more quality, and it is one
which I can only name, but not describe. I do not understand it. You members of the community will not understand it, either. Perhaps Jonas will, because the current Receiver has told us that Jonas already has this quality. He calls it the Capacity to See Beyond." What is the Capacity to see beyond that no one but the receivers can understand?

During the ceremony the Chief Elder told each child, "We thank you for your childhood." I think that she is trying to emphasis to each Twelve that there childhood is over.

Again and Again
Jonas experiences another moment when an object slightly changes. Last time, it was an apple and right now, it is the crowd. Something about the crowd changes slightly for a second.
From context clue, I think Jonas saw color. I assume that this relates to "Capacity to See Beyond" in the same page. I think this will be very important to the plot.

When Jonas is picked for his role in the community. He is chosen to be the next receiver. Then the Chief Elder talks about his qualities and talks about why he is chosen. This shows that Jonas is special in a way, and that being the giver is a good thing and a bad thing.

Everyone starts chanting for Jonas, which shows that Jonas' job plays a very vital role in society. However, at the same time when he starts thinking about people chanting at the new Henry, it sort of dawns me that people have no person-to-person connection. In a way, the new Henry's identity is sacrificed for the loss of the old Henry, and Jonas' life is sacrificed for the occupation as a Giver and the well-being of the society.

The book mentions that Jonas will acquire the skill of wisdom in his training. This point in the book tells me that this training is going to be highly based on experience, life, and maturity.

What kind of "physical pain" would Jonas get as he goes through the training of the receiver?
I don't understand because it would make sense if he gets mentally painful by receiving all the happy and painful memories. So, I am curious if he gets a unique training that requires physical pain.

Jonas was waiting patiently to receive his job. However, the elder skipped him and called the 20th instead, not 19th, which is Jonas's number. He was shocked, like everyone else, questioning himself if he did something wrong. Later on, after the other twelves have received their assignments, he is called on stage, and receives the job to be a receiver. Everyone is shocked but also glad, and now he has to be alone, separated from others. So his future would change from that period on, and nobody knows what is going to happen.

When Jonas was bathing Larissa during his volunteer hours, they were discussing Roberto who had been released. During the end of the conversation Jonas asked Larissa, "Where exactly did Roberto go?" Larissa replied saying, "I don't know." This was an Aha Moment to me because it showed that the people in the community didn't know that release actually means people are dying. I think that people know release as a releasement of this community and that they go to a different community or maybe a place where the release go.

Jonas tells his dream to his family. In the dream, he wanted to take off her clothes and wanted the bathe her. Jonas discussed about "the wanting", Jonas' parents gave him pill. This part of the book shows that desire is not allowed.

Pg. 37

The pill which is prescribed to Jonas signifies to clear up and describe what exactly these dreams are meant for. At the moment, Jonas doesn't get these dreams; but if Jonas considers these dreams as discomfort, in the future these dreams and pills will make sense to him as he matures.

In these pages Jonas talked about his dream. When he described the happenings in his dream, he mentioned the word "wanting" of Fiona. Jonas's parents also talked about the pill for stirrings.

Jonas learns what a good life is in page 32 in the house of old. He learns from Larissa that Roberto(the man who got released) was one who fulfilled his life in every way. This is important because this is a prime example of what children want to be when growing up and that this is how you live life happy.

The idea of volunteers and assignments are appearing on almost every chapter so far. Assignments are important in the book of the Giver, since assignments will change your life, and will most likely determine your future. Jonas is afraid of what he would get assigned to be, afraid that he might be assigned to something he doesn't like. This took up a huge part of the first few chapters of the book, since the ceremony of twelve was coming soon.

Jonas talks about his dream where he wants to bathe Fiona. He discuses the "wanting" when he wanted to bathe Fiona and his parents gave him a pill, which they said will treat the "stirrings." This is an Aha Moment because it shows that love and desire are not allowed and are "treated."

"If you don't fit in, you can apply Elsewhere."
Elsewhere in this sentence is capitalised because its a broad concept to the people in this community. Nobody knows what is outside of the community they live in and they are blocked out from any outer source. So they refer to anywhere other than their own community like one country. Also, they combine the concept of death with being released and sent elsewhere. The fact that they avoid ever questioning the disappearance of people who are released or sent elsewhere shows that people fear the government.

We see how Jonas remembered that the apple had somehow 'changed', when he was playing catch with Asher. This shows how maybe Jonas is kind of different from the others, as Asher does not notice anything, while Jonas has a different perception. This opens up other plot points in the future.

This memory shows Jonas noticing the apple changing when he was playing catch with Asher. This memory is important because this shows that Jonas is different than other people. Jonas asked Asher if the apple seemed strange but Asher said, 'Yes, it jumps out of my hand onto the ground!"

When Jonas brought the apple from school to his home, the speaker announced about Jonas, without actually using his name. The idea of announcing infractions in the society of the Giver is normal. Governments making announcements about things such as rules, reminders, and incidents that happened, is mostly for the citizens and somewhat reminding them about the rules and such things that they are asked to follow.
