How do jonass friends treat him differently the giver?

In "The Giver," Jonas's friends treat him with respect and admiration because of his unique role as the Receiver of Memories. They often seek his guidance and insights, viewing him as wise and special. In contrast, in Lois Lowry's later book "Gathering Blue," Kira's friends treat her with skepticism and disrespect due to her physical disabilities and lower social status.
