Answer:

The Giver sees the memories as a heavy responsibility.

Step-by-step explanation:

The text above shows how the giver was overwhelmed with having to keep people's memories. This role in society was given to him as something very honorable and that would give him an unparalleled privilege, which would make him admired by the whole society, but none of this seems to make sense to him, since the burden of carrying all these memories and thoughts were too heavy and he feared he would not be able to bear it.
