I predict that once Jonas starts his training, he will be able to see the world differently. I predict this because Jonas sees an apple and the people in the auditorium change in some way. I think this is his ability of having the Capacity to See Beyond, beginning to reveal itself to him. Once he starts his training, I think the whole world around him will begin to change, just like the apple, or the people.
Another prediction I have is that the when the Elder mentions how they failed in their last selection, I think it has something to do with the child who died, Caleb. I predict this because the failed Reciever selection, and when Caleb died both happened when Jonas was still little. It may be nothing, but it seems a little odd how both those things happened around the same time.
Based on chapter 8 I can pedict a couple of things. I think that Jonas will meet the old man that was sitting in the crowd, with the same eyes as him. I think that the old reciver of memory will start to train him. I think Jonas will finally figure out what he is seeing and why only he can see it. I would like to find out how come only a slect few can see beyond. I also want to figure out how do the memories get transferd into Jonas.
In Chapter 8, Jonas was selected as the Recievor of Memory. The Chief Elder stated that being selected to this is extremely rare and the last time one was selected ten years ago, the person was not the right decision. She said that he had been watching meticulously for years to make sure the there were no uncertainties. The Recievor of Memory, a man Jonas had never seen before, would train Jonas and he would experience pain he had never felt before. Though Jonas felt proud he was very fearful and had no idea of what was to become of him. I predict that for Jonas' selection, since it is called the Recievor of Memory, he will learn about the previous society before his own community because there must have been one. I also think that Jonas will develop a very close relationship with the current Recievor of Memory. The Recievor of Memory has the same eyes as him so I also think that that had something to do with why Jonas is different and was selected. - Ellie G.
I predict that Jonas will become the new reciever. The reason that I thought this is because the Cheif Elder sees Jonas as intelligent, brave, and capable of doing many things. Also because he can't speak up for some reason and say that he doesn't want to do it. I think that Jonas will be know as the reciever because he believes that he can do it deep inside his soul.
Sydney John I think that Jonas will continue to be confuesed about his assignment, but grateful too. I think this because he said he didn't quite understand his assignment yet. Also, I think he is the right person for this job because he can see things "change" and no one else can. I started to think that it had to do with something about his assignment when they first mentioned it.
I pedict that he will start his training as the reciever but I think that he will fail like the others failed so why shouldn't he. He will be so confused at what he is doing that he won't know how to complete his task. Jonas has no confidence in himself that it would be hard to do something that you don't believe in what you are commited to do. I think that Jonas is will learn from his mistakes.
I think that Jonas will fail as a receiver because it happened to the reciever before him. Also he isn't really prepared for this. I think he would be better placed at the House of Old.
In this chapter, Jonas recieves the job of Reciever of Memory. This job is very rare and hadn't been assigned for 10 years. Jonas feels very proud about this, though he knows he has to go through a lot of hard training. He is going to get taught by the old Reciever or Memory. I think this job has a connection due to eye color, because both of them have light eyes. I predict that Jonas is going to have a lot of pain during the training and is going to go through some excruciating times. Though my real prediction is that he will be the best Reciever of Memory ever and fight through it. I think this because he is a very strong willed boy and can handle this task. I definitely think he's going to make a great Reciever of Memory, even with many obstacles along the way.
Virginia D I deffinatly think that the one day he saw the apple change had something to do with him being selected for the Reciever of Memory. Apparently he can see things other cant. I think that he is smart enough for this task but i dont know if he will have enough courage. I also think that he might chicken-out, possibly run away?
Tori B. Based on chapter eight, I predict that Jonas will start his training, but for some reason, he won't finish it and the memories will destroy him. I think his traaining will starrt out fine, but he will get information that will change the way he thinks. Please tell me what you think.
I think that Jonas will be a excellent receiver. He will endure extremely hard training but he will also see the world through a different perspective. Jonas will learn how to control and look "beyond" Jonas will be able to help improve his community and make it a better place. Emma M
In chapter eight, the authorities select Jonas as the receiver which is a rare but very important job in the community. The receiver is a job that not many people know about because you need to have certain quality traits in order to become the receiver and receivers are only needed over a course of many years. The Elder stated that the training to become the receiver is very hard, and Jonas will have to experience physical pain that he has never felt before. I predict that while Jonas is the receiver, in the training he will learn the true meaning behind the all the strict rules, and why certain people seem to be controlled by the communtiy. I think that Jonas will learn the truth behind Jonas' lifestyle is because there is only one receiver so nobody knows what the receiver knows, and some people don't even know who the receiver is so its very secretive. I think the purpose for the receiver is so somebody can help keep order and remember why you should control people. In the book people often mention release and the strange rules, but nobody including people with very important jobs don't know the truth behind the community. Even people like the person who speaks on the loud speaker doesn't know the purpose for rules, he just recites them and gives reminders for the whole town to hear. Somebody must know the truth behind the community, and I think the receiver is there to remember and give order to the citizens so the community doesn't fall apart. I believe that Jonas won't be able to take beging the receiver because he cares so much for his family/friends, and he believes in the rules and follows them religiously.
To go along with my last prediction, I predict that once Jonas learns why certain rules are made he won't be able to take the truth and try to change the rules. Jonas believes in the rules so much, and often feels embaressed or sad if he upsets the community officials. That shows that he would do anything to please people in charge of the way the community is ran. For example, at the ceremony when his name wasn't called his first thought was "what did I do wrong for my community". I believe Jonas will try to change the rules because after seeing the real reason behind things, he will relize that the community is wrong and shouldn't control people's lives with who they will fall in love with, what kids they have, and their jobs. I am un-sure how Jonas will try this, but because he is the receiver he may have a lot of power or connections with people in charge. I can't wait to keep reading and see if my predictions are accurate or not.
I think that "The Recevier" is the old guy on the cover of the book. I think that he is called "The Giver" because he is going to give Jonas the training he needs to become "The Recevier". I don't think that Jonas is quite certain about his new assignment and I don't know how he is going to react to the training, but in the end I think he will enjoy having the most powerful assignment in the whole community.
I predict Jonas will get through all of his training and will be the next Receiver of Memory. I also think he will say he is going to give up but push himself as far as he can go until he gets to the end of his training.
I think that Jonas will be a very sucessful Reciever, and that he will make it through all of his training. I think it will be hard though, for him to get all the memories that have ever existed.
~Jess M~ I think Jonas will have a hard time doing his training without his friends.They said in the book that he would be alone and apart from the others. I don't think that Jonas will like his job at first because the chief elder told him that the training would bring physical pain so Jonas might go into the job scared and not wanting to do it. Since the chief elder said that the community wouldn't understand the job eithier, Jonas probally won't be able to go to his parents to reassure him of anything or to answer any questions he has because they won't be able to answer them.
I predict that Jonas will somehow kill the Giver by asking for a memory that is to powerful. I also predict that Gabe will also become a reciver because his eyes are the same as jonas's.
I think that Jonas will start off not liking his job, but as he learns more he will grow to like it.The reason why I think this is that is because the last Reciever did not do something right and I believe that Jonas is apprehensive About this.

I think that Jonas will not make it through the training. The last person selected for reciever failed so who is to say that Jonas won't?
