Answer-
As a part of Kiowa among Navajo and Pueblo people who was also being guided by his parents toward success in the larger society beyond Jemez, Momaday inhabited a complex world of intersecting cultures. The need to accommodate himself to these circumstances prepared him for the perceptive treatment of encounters with various cultures that characterizes his literary work. Examples: Momaday's formal education took place at the Franciscan Mission School in Jemez; the Indian School in Santa Fe; high schools in Bernalillo, New Mexico; and the Augustus Military Academy in Fort Defiance, Virginia. In 1952 he entered the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque as a political science major with minors in English and speech. He spent 1956-1957 in the law program at the University of Virginia, where he met William Faulkner; the encounter helped to shape Momaday's early prose and is most clearly reflected in the evocation of Faulkner's story "The Bear" (1942) in Momaday's poem of that title (collected in Angle of Geese and Other Poems, 1974). Returning to the University of New Mexico, Momaday graduated in 1958 and took a teaching position on the Jicarilla Apache reservation at Dulce, New Mexico.

Answer:
He would experience real pain.
Explanation:
In the book, 'Giver', Jonas was selected to be the Receiver of Memory. It was explained by the Elder who conferred this position, that the receiver would experience deep and real pain which no other person in the community has experienced. The last Eleven chosen to be Receiver, was to have exceptional intelligence, courage and integrity. He must also have the ability to see beyond things. Jonas did not believe that he had this capacity, but the elders believed in him.
The rules also stated that the Receiver could not discuss his pains and dreams with others. He would be rude and tell lies. He would also forfeit his friendships.
Ten years ago, a girl named Rosemary was conferred as the receiver. She was given a painful memory which led to depression on her part. She requested to be released and the result was that she unleashed her pains on the community. This caused chaos. Because of this experience, Jonas could not request to be released.
