The Workplace of Jonas

When Jonas is first beginning on his first day and is walking into the Annex(the building where the Receiver of Memory works) he feels very uncomfortable and is very nervous. When Jonas is walking into the building there are many locks and a speaker. The lady at the front desk is controlling the locks and letting him in. The lady at front desk makes a joke to help relax Jonas from all the nerves he is having. When he walks into the back he sees a nicely furnished room with thousands of books on the wall and he is very confused by that because in every standard house there are only about three books. When Jonas enters there is a man who looks very aged and is sitting in a chair watching him. He then confronts the man and tells Jonas to call him the Giver and that he will show him the ropes. The Giver seems like a very wise and all-knowing man. Then Jonas and the Giver speak about what Jonas will be doing as the Receiver of Memory. As you can see the Annex is a very luxurious place and a very tough job at hand.
