The Giver Test

I think for one reason why Jonas understands others is because he is the new receiver and even before he became the receiver he knew what was right and wrong. And I think the reason the community lacks empathy for one another is because the true meaning of the world, only Jonas and the giver do, and Gabe was starting to. Some more reasons they don't understand one another is because they don't even have color so that means how would they know anything else, thats like saying I know my dog's name but I don't have a dog. There are some things that the giver taught Jonas that made him start understanding them, like sledding and setting hurt, sunshine, he even gave him solor, and the thing is he finally got to see the replacement ceramony, and he thought it was horrible.
