A new year for everyone in the community they go to a ceremony to go up a age. for Jonas he receives the memories of the past, good and bad, from the current Receiver, a wise old man who tells Jonas to call him the giver. The giver transmits memories by placing his hands on Jonas's bare back. The first memory he receives is of an exhilarating sled ride. they have a plan for Jonas to leave the community and be free with the memories. He also ends up in a iced and distant place from the community.

DISLIKES: The ending of the nook was to complex to come to a conclusion of whats really going on fully in the book like what happens to everyone else.
