And if they find out about the past from memories leaked by Jonas or the giver they will be scared and confused and possibly extremely mad that the community had lied to them and made them think that it was only them and it was only their reality and there were no other times. ]]> 2018-05-16 16:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_kennedy1/ryankennedygivertwitter/wish/261289675 ryan_kennedy1 https://padlet.com/ryan_kennedy1/ryankennedygivertwitter/wish/261294477 Jonas is surprised when the giver turns off the speaker and locks the door because he had never seen anything like that because he is not entitled to things like that in dwellings like his. i can tell from Jonas being in such awe when the giver did this that the citizens don't have very much privacy because the elders are always watching and listening and the city officials can just walk into your house and do whatever they desire]]> 2018-05-16 16:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_kennedy1/ryankennedygivertwitter/wish/261294477 ryan_kennedy1 https://padlet.com/ryan_kennedy1/ryankennedygivertwitter/wish/261296898 in the first memory Jonas finds out what snow,sled,hill,runners,are and feel like. in the second memory jonas finds out what sunshine is. in the third memory jonas finds out what sun burn is]]> 2018-05-16 16:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_kennedy1/ryankennedygivertwitter/wish/261296898 ryan_kennedy1 https://padlet.com/ryan_kennedy1/ryankennedygivertwitter/wish/261303126 this title is significent because we now know what the giver does and why he is called that ad it is because he gives memories to the receivers.]]> 2018-05-16 16:58:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_kennedy1/ryankennedygivertwitter/wish/261303126
