Whenever twins are born, the Nururer will weigh them and release the lighter one from the community. And now, new twins were born in the communinty. Before they were even born, the community already decided that my father was going to be the one to release one of the babies. Today, I went to the Giver's house and the memory was about my dad killing the baby. I was watching my dad injecting a liquid into the baby's head. I was curious why the communtity had to kill one of the twin babies. What were their points? When I saw my dad throwing away the baby's body in the huge kind of bin, I was so mad, I wanted to kick him in his face. But I knew it was not going to make anything better. I wanted to make an objection to the Chief, why the community had to kill one of the twin babies.
I went to the house of the Receiver. He told me to call him,"The Giver". Then he told me to lie down on the bed, which was placed at the corner of the room. Then the Giver put his put his hands on my back. His hands were very cold. I saw myself in a place where everything was white. There was nothing other than white. Then the Giver told me it was "snow". He told me that now, the community controlled the climate, so it won't snow anymore. The next thing I saw was a thing made of wood and a place where it wasn't flat. He told me the wooden thing was a "sled" and the place was called "hill". I got onto the sled and went to the hill. Then the sled started to move by itself. It was very fun going down the hill with the sled. It was the first memory I got from the Giver. It was very fun, too. However, he told me,"I will lose all the memories after giving them to you and some memories are not fun but painful."
