Snow Memory Transmission

In Chapter Eleven, the Giver transmits the memory of snow. After a moment of feeling nothing, Jonas shivers and realizes that the air is frigid, while he can no longer feel the Receiver's hands on his back. For the first time, he experiences snow, and while part of him is still in the Annex, another part of him is sitting on a sled on top of a hill. Although he has never seen a hill before, he instinctively knows its name, and as he speeds downhill, he is delighted by the sensation. At the end of the ride, the sled slows, and although he pushes to make the sled plow through the snow that has built up, eventually he finds that he must stop.
