i litterly had this question also how come everyone is reading THE GIVER HAHA. P.S i love the giver and my class is reading it and i already finsihed it but not my class (okay here is the answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

When Jonas tosses the apple to Asher, he sees the apple change. He is beginning to see the color red. ... The fact that Jonas sees the color red first is significant. It is the Capacity to See Beyond, and red is the color of passion or emotion.

Jonas is chosen to be the new Receiver of Memory for his community when he turns twelve.
