what is the finishing if ...

But after talking to a friend and thinking a little deeper, I don't think he makes it. So the sequel would be about the town and how it deals with the changes. I'd probably start it several years afterward, with some people having made the adjustment well and others wanting to go back to how it was before.



The sequel may answer some of these questions, but they aren't answered in this book for a reason.







*Fixed that Typo!* ;)

that's a question our 5th graders would have eaten up throughout the book!



I thought the boys died at the end, thereby releasing all of the memories that the giver had guarded over the years into the community ending their time of being sheltered from negativity and intense emotions.

Anyway, this is the only mention of a character who could be Jonas and he isn't really a character as much as a mention of a character that will come into play in Messenger. Also, in Messenger there are other clues given that suggest this boy can be interpretted as Jonas, if you like, and for me, knowing the details of Jonas' character from The Giver, it would be hard to not interpret it as Jonas. But that's just my opinion. (I won't give these clues away in case you haven't read Messenger yet.) That's the only mention I can remember of a character who could be Jonas, if anyone else remembers another instance, please add on!










That is exactly how I thought of it when I finished The Giver.
Sella,
I just finished Messenger and I don't remember them mentioning anything about "a strange boy with light blue/gray eyes." Of course you learn a lot more about Jonas but I never remember reading anything about Gabe and I was purposely looking for it. They talk of Jonas's blue eyes in the book a lot???


i think that The Giver was a great book, but i do wish the author made a sequal(sorry 4 the spelling)
that cleared things up a bit, or they could have elaborated on the ending at least. leaving cliff-hangers makes me comfuzzled.

Isn't that what happened?

The ending that I had to write for school is that they are going down the hill and then they hit a rock and then they fly up and they hit a bird and then they grow wings and fly back to their town and then they take his friends and then he flys backs and they have their first christmas together and then their town takes over and then they fly back and it's just so long, but I think that they wouldn't have that ending, it's not all my fault it's so werid.

Also there is Messenger: https://www.goodreads.com/series/4360...
And Son which I am currently reading (but will soon finish) :https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
But my ending is:
Jonas picked up Gabe once more. "Almost there." He whispered once again, walking toward the music. A few moments later, Jonas and Gabe entered the town. A little boy saw Jonas and hurried off, looking worried. Jonas and Gabe were soon joined by the whole community, questioning their presence. "I am Jonas and this is Gabe. We came from another community." Jonas told them. The music had long stopped. "Hello. Welcome." One man in the front welcomed. A woman came hobbling forward on a stick to help assist with her crippled leg. "I'm Kira. Welcome." She told Jonas.
