In the book giver Which item in list of duties and responsibilities frightened Jonas Why did this frighten him?
In the book "The Giver", the list of duties and responsibilities that frightened Jonas included "Receiver of Memories". Receiving memories meant inheriting all the past memories of the Elders' council from the Giver. It frightened Jonas because he had always lived in a controlled and seemingly perfect society where all emotions and experiences were regulated. Taking on the burden of all those memories meant facing pain, fear, suffering, and the complexities of a previously undisclosed world. The idea of carrying memories of war, hunger, illness, and deep emotions overwhelmed him, and he feared the transformation within himself it could bring.
