Answer:
The Giver tells Jonas this because he is thinking that maybe it would be a good idea for the whole community to have memories again, and that he could help them cope with them.
Explanation:
When The Giver tells Jonas the story of Rosemary, he tells him that when she asked for her release, all the memories she had absorbed for 5 weeks returned directly to the community all at once. This caused great chaos, and with the pain that The Giver felt and the anger, he did not want to help them.
Now, he is deep in his thoughts because if something happened to Jonas, the memories of a whole year would pass directly to the minds of each person in the community. This could be a big problem, but what if The Giver helped them this time?
It's a considerable option, and that's why he tells Jonas that they can talk more about it sometime and that he needs to think about it some more.

Answer:
Walton’s letters to his sister form a frame around the main narrative, Victor Frankenstein’s tragic story. Walton captains a North Pole–bound ship that gets trapped between sheets of ice. While waiting for the ice to thaw, he and his crew pick up Victor, weak and emaciated from his long chase after the monster. Victor recovers somewhat, tells Walton the story of his life, and then dies. Walton laments the death of a man with whom he felt a strong, meaningful friendship beginning to form.
Walton functions as the conduit through which the reader hears the story of Victor and his monster. However, he also plays a role that parallels Victor’s in many ways. Like Victor, Walton is an explorer, chasing after that “country of eternal light”—unpossessed knowledge. Victor’s influence on him is paradoxical: one moment he exhorts Walton’s almost-mutinous men to stay the path courageously, regardless of danger; the next, he serves as an abject example of the dangers of heedless scientific ambition. In his ultimate decision to terminate his treacherous pursuit, Walton serves as a foil (someone whose traits or actions contrast with, and thereby highlight, those of another character) to Victor, either not obsessive enough to risk almost-certain death or not courageous enough to allow his passion to drive him.
