The Giver Epilogue Analysis

Jonas cried. A man comes out of his house rushing to save the starving children and offers them food and shelter they kindly accept. Jonas and the man have small talk for a few minutes,

Jonas opened his eyes and he noticed that he was sitting in a room on a bed. How did I get here, he thought and where is Gabriel? The room that he was in did not look like anything from his other room in his community. There was a table with a chair, a couch. And a weird hole in the wall with pieces of wood in it late were lit on fire. He walked towards it and he got a burst of heat.

The child isn't growing at a normal rate,which means that he will be "released" if he doesn't begin to grow the way he is supposed to. For Jonas Gabriel is a symbol of hope, and starting over. Because Gabe is just a baby and has not conformed to the rules of this society Jonas can show him the memories that he receives, and he does so because he feels that the baby could be a new beginning. All of the memories of the past that Jonas receives, show him how the society that he lives in is constricting to the people. He is genuinely scared of what could happen if he or Gabe stays where they are. This shows that although Jonas wouldn't want to break the rules, he feels the need to protect baby Gabe, and would go to any lengths necessary to do

“‘Have a heart,’ one of them said. ‘We’re hungry.’ Jared’s breath came fast. ‘We’d be happy with the guts,’ another of them said to him. ‘You don’t even have to give us the bellies.’ Jared stood, stunned frozen.

"So, Jonas, what brought you and Gabe here?" She asked one day. So, Jonas began to to her his story. About the community and sameness, and how everything is chosen for you. About their family units and houses, climate control and their lack of emotions. He told her about the Giver, and all the emotions the two of them held. And then, last of all, Jonas told her about release. About the twin and the anger that filled him when he saw the recording. And about Gabe: why they had to leave. Laura sat quietly, and when he was done, she still said nothing. "Jonas," Laura said eventually. "I want you to know that this is your home

“You have made a terrible mistake.” The Chief Elder uttered in shock, her tongue cutting short of a hiss.

In The Giver, Jonas’ world is turned upside down when he is chosen to be the next receiver of his community. The ceremony of twelves is the last ceremony of the day. Jonas waited anxiously for his name to be called; he never hears it. The chief elder has made a mistake. Jonas now has to learn that everything he has been taught was not always the same and it ages him years.

Gabriel, the adorable Newchild is staying at Jonas's house, but he is about to be released because of his inadequate weight and bad sleeping habits. Therefore, when Jonas decided to run away, he takes Gabriel with him so that Gabriel can avoid a death from release. Jonas did make the right decision of bringing Gabriel with him to Elsewhere. By doing this, Jonas has given Gabriel a chance to live and possibly to live an exceptional life, and for himself, Jonas gave himself the opportunity to love something for the rest of his life.

“Jonas has not been assigned,” She informed the crowd, and his heart sank. Then she went on. “Jonas has been selected.” The quote pertained to this story due to the significance that Jonas had differentiated from his peers that had their differences acknowledged by the Elders themselves, each with their own desires within a career. The quote influenced Jonas his decisions within the chapters beyond the quote within the story, nevertheless brought Jonas his viewpoint of the situation and his decision into escaping from the community with Gabe to journey off Elsewhere. For example, Gabe had been planned for release the same day Jonas had escaped from the community, due to Jonas’ significant viewpoints he couldn’t bare the loss of Gabe, especially since he would be the only few to discover the true meaning behind being “released.” In the end of “The Giver,” Jonas and Gabriel had hallucinated while freezing to death because of the wild berries, the memories, and the physical limits of his human body.

Jonas had already taken of his tunic and was layin on the bed with his eyes closed ready for me to transmit my memory over to him. I reached over and layed my hands on his chest and soon as my warm fingertips touched his delicate skin my memory coursed through him fast. I remember it had been a warm sunny day in June when my family had decided that that we should take a trip down to Virginia Beach, it had took us a while to get there but once we had arrived I couldn't have been more excited to take a dip in the warm blue water. It had only taken us a couple of minutes to unpack all of our beach supplies and everyone was in the water the smell of sea salt feeled the air and you could hear the seagulls from a distance that had landed on shore

In the novel, The Giver, by Lois Lowry, the topic of life occurs throughout the story. Jonas lives in a community based on conformity and sameness. Jonas is chosen as the receiver of memory. As he is trained he learns that change is needed in the community. At the end of the book, Jonas tries to go elsewhere to return the memories back to the community. In The Giver, the author uses the characters, plot, and conflict to develop the theme that life can not be taken for granted.

Using his final strength, a special knowledge that was deep inside him, Jonas found the sled that was waiting for them at the top of the hill. Numbly his hands fumbled for the rope.

Have you ever considered what happens to a person when they change? In the book 'The Giver', Jonas is similar in a few ways at the end of the book from the start. But why does this matter? When a person goes through difficult experiences, they are still the same in a lot of ways.

“You are very hungry! Should I have my mama bring you some more?” She laughed back.

As I made my way down to the house, I noticed this warm and welcoming feeling in my chest. Home. Once I made it to the house, I knocked twice. “Coming!” a soft voice said. A few seconds later, the aroma of freshly baked cookies hit me as soon as an old lady opened the door. “My word, if you and your baby stay out there any longer you’ll freeze!” the old lady said. As soon as she said that, she opened the door wider so I could come in. I stepped in. Warmth came over me and covered me like a blanket. I looked down to check on Gabriel to see if he was okay and to my delight he was in my arms sleeping peacefully. His small chest rising and falling with each breath. Then my mind wandered to Fiona, her red hair and blue eyes just made me get this warm feeling inside. Love. “Well you must. Can I get you and your baby something to eat?” the old lady said snapping me out of my thoughts. “Ohh umm,” I said, shaking my head slightly while thinking about what I should eat. “I will have something warm and Gabe will have milk please.” The old lady then said, “Okay then, I will get you some hot chocolate and Gabe some milk” as she hurried off to the kitchen. While she was gone, I took in my surroundings. The old lady had many pictures of kids with big smiles on their faces and had decorated with garland and tinsel on many ledges. “Your drinks are ready!” yelled the old lady. Then, I made my way to her kitchen, and as soon as I entered the kitchen, I spied the
