Jonas and everyone in the community had no idea what memories were, before Jonas met The Giver. Memories is by which the mind stores and remembers information, also something remembered from the past. The first memory Jonas was given was sledding down the hill in the snow.(103) Jonas thought this was a very thrilling memory.

(onomatopoeia lead) Thud Thud Thud! We were slipping and sliding on the freezing cold ice. And snow was softly coming down. The sledding race was about to start. I was shaking I was so excited. 3,2,1 Blast off! Whoosh we shot down the hill with excitement and smiles on our faces. I felt like I was flying.

Dutch Hills mobile home park is the earliest neighborhood that I remember. My parents were divorced when I was three and my mom and I moved around a lot until we came to this place when I was about six. We lived in this mobile home park for about four years before we moved to Bath, Michigan where my family continues to reside today.

My older brother accompanys me in snowboarding, while my two younger brothers ski alongside us. We have fun trying to one up each other on jumps, or seeing who can race down the hill the fastest.
