What happens in the giver chapter 8

Finally, when all the Twelves have gotten their assignments, the Elder addresses the fact that she skipped Jonas. She apologizes, and everyone ritualistically chants, "We accept your apology."
She goes on to say that Jonas has not been assigned; rather, he has been selected.
Selected to be…
The Receiver of Memory.
Evidently, this a big deal, because the crowd all basically gasps.
The Chief Elder explains that the community has only one Receiver at a time, and that the current Receiver—an old man—trains the next one.
Everyone looks over to the Committee of Elders where the current Receiver—indeed a very old man—sits. He has pale eyes, just like Jonas.
The Chief Elder explains that they tried to pick a new Receiver about ten years ago, but it failed. This is clearly an uncomfortable topic for everyone, so she quickly moves on.
There's no room for error here, she says, so they've been careful in selecting Jonas, who now has to lead what is portrayed as a mostly solitary life.
Oh.
Then she starts listing all of Jonas's qualities which qualify him to be The Receiver: intelligence, integrity, courage (there will be pain, she says), and wisdom (although Jonas doesn't have this yet, he'll soon be acquiring it. By the boatload).
There is one more quality, she says, "The Capacity to See Beyond."
Jonas is just about to object and explain that, actually, he doesn't have any special Capacity, when he looks over the crowd and sees them "change," the same way the apple once did.
So he says to the Chief Elder that yes, indeed, he does sometimes see something.
So everything is hunky-dory. The crowd chants his name and Jonas is both proud and fearful of what is to come.

Write a essay agree or disagree about technology has a positive impact on people life between 200 and 260 words
Valentin [98]

Answer:

technology is a win, if you use it the right way

Explanation:

As the years go on, it is becoming more and more obvious that we are relying heavily on technology. it is becoming the core on how the world works. factories use technology instead of people for bigger profits and less error. computers are used to track data, make accurate predictions and give calculations to researchers and scientists, saving time and effort. the medical field relies on technology to improve the quality to human life, especially to those who are less fortunate than others and can't do things like moving or talking. To add to all that, we use technology everyday right at our fingertips. Our phones could be the first thing we look at when we wake up, and the last thing we look at before going to sleep. It is with us 24/7, giving us access to talk to the people next door, the next block down, or the next continent over. Because we have resources like the internet, we can learn so much more than ever before, at a much faster time too. The problem with technology though, is the addiction to it, like through phones and computers. we live such a fast life through scrolling endlessly through websites and apps that we forget our surroundings, and time can slip by fast. but this setback does not automatically determine technoloy as a bad thing, but rather as another lesson need to be learned in life. through the right usage, technology has proven and will continue to prove that it is one of the best creations known to man.
