New Rules, New Life

´´Jonas simply smiled and nodded, not ready to lie, not willing to tell the truth.´´  

It was difficult to Jonas to follow this new rule, to lie, this was a common morning ritual usually all the family participate, and Jonas now is prohibited to share his dreams. He tried to imagine the exact description of how hills, snow and sunshine was, but is difficult to describe things and make people imagine what they never experience before. Fiona came to talk with Jonas and told him that she was waiting for him last day, Jonas was taking too long and it was getting late and she couldn´t take too long. While talking to Fiona something in her hair changed, and it wasn't just her hair few days ago in the ceremony the faces in the auditorium the apple and now her hair. This could be seeing beyond. He explained this to the Giver the changes he have seen and he said to Jonas he is starting to see a color, the color red.

Days passed and Jonas experienced memories of many colors, and the rainbow. Jonas gets frustrated because all the community doesn't experience colors because of sameness. He will like to choose things but the Giver remainds him that this has some negative effects. He was so angry about people sont se colors he triend to transmit the memory of it to others with out the permission of anyone. He tried with Asher but nothing changed. After that he had a new memory that the Giver has gived to him, a terrible one. They were elephants the ones he though they weren't real, they were killing them!! Also Jonas saw different tones of flesh and skin color. That evening Jonas told Lilly elephants were real, again he tried to transmit a nice memory of them but it didn't work. He asks the Giver about his personal life, he once got a spouse and a family but it was difficult for him because he had some rules to follow; not share anything about his dreams, work, and books. He told Jonas the comitee call someriems when they need their help to do decisions, to help them not to the same mistakes that happened in the past. Then Jonas talks to him about his teacher and the Giver tells him he doesn't know truly what he is teaching because he doesn't has the memories of it.

 Jonas has earned another memory and this one was very painful. To break a leg at first he get scared and then he get a terrible pain he triend to move and he coudn't. He femembered he coudn't dring any pain pills or medication. Gabriel was growing successfully they hope he would not get released of the community. Jonas finally to help him sleep he transmit him new memories and he receives them! Why he can receive them? What so they have in common 😨
