Hmm well they're both important. the giver is the base of the story. Without him, Jonas wouldn't have been able to grow or mature in the ways he did. (By receiving memories Jonas learned about death, a subject nobody knew if in his community, he also learned about self sacrifice which you see at the end of the book when he tries his best for Gabriel and forgets about himself) without the giver there is no Jonas. There are no memories and there would be no story. You could also argue Jonas is more integral because without him there also wouldn't be a story. There wouldn't have been anyone to receive the memories and nobody would have released them like he had.

Answer:

The Giver transmits the memory of another ride on a sled, only this time the sled loses control and Jonas experiences pain and nausea from a badly broken leg. The pain lingers after the experience is over, but the Giver is not allowed to give him relief-of-pain, and Jonas limps home and goes to bed early. Forbidden to share his feelings with his family, he feels isolated, realizing that they have never known intense pain. Over the next days, the Giver transmits more and more painful memories, always ending the day with a memory of pleasure. After experiencing starvation, Jonas asks why these horrible memories need to be preserved, and the Giver explains that they bring wisdom: once, for example, the community wanted to increase the number of children allowed to each family, but the Giver remembered the hunger that overpopulation brings and advised against it. Jonas wonders why the whole community cannot share the pain of these important memories, and the Giver tells him that this is the reason the position of Receiver is so honored—the community does not want to be burdened and pained by memories. Jonas wants to change things, but the Giver reminds him that the situation has been the same for generations, and that there is very little hope for change.
