Not everyone has the ability to receive, thus a receiver is not selected by the elders or even the giver per se, but his ability is presented and noticed by the giver who will thus pick him. Memories fade from a giver when they are passed to the receiver.ģ. This is why a new receiver is needed so as to continue this giving and receiving before a giver is old and released, so that the community does nt have to bear the burden of memories.Ģ.
Memories are not released to the community when they are intentionally passed from giver to receiver - I think we can agree on this. Somehow I thought there was something wrong there and I shall try and explain it here.ġ. In the book it was said that the memories were released when Jonas escaped with Gabriel. So anyway, that was the relationship part of the book that I was wondering.Īnother thing that came to me while reading was that there was a loophole somewhere regarding the memories going back to the community when a receiver is released or when he runs away. And then there was this part before he said that she was his daughter, that he mentioned that he loved her just as he loved Jonas, in the way families loved in his favorite memory. This was later supported when it seemed they had this natural connection, of course, it could be just the fact that one could give and the other receive, but later on I wondered if even this ability was inherited, as the giver mentioned that rosemary, the previous failed receiver, was in fact his daughter.
So anyway my tentative conclusion is that sperms are donated from all males, selected and IVF is done with birthmothers' eggs before the embryo is implanted into not-so-surrogate birthmothers.Īnyway my whole point of bringing that up is the fact that I was somehow led into the impression that Jonas' birthfather is actually the giver, and his biological siblings are rosemary, Gabriel, and that other girl -a six- who was mentioned in one of the later chapters who also had pale eyes and who was too young to be a receiver.įirst suspicion was when lily proposed that Gabriel could be his biological brother since they had identical eyes. I actually thought the newborns were all test tube babies from IVF or so, since it was stated somewhere that the geneticists/scientists found it difficult to change the reddish colour of Fiona's hair to grey. We do know that there are birth mothers and some females are assigned the dishonorable job of being birthmothers, but anyone wondered about birthfathers or where the sperms or XY chromosome come from? Does anyone else happen to have wondered about birth fathers?
