       In a world full of lies, Jonas realizes some things have to change, specially how his community is fuctioning. Since people dont really understand the meaning of killing someone or feeling emotions, it makes everything hard of the the Giver and Jonas. Through out the time, That both the Giver and Jonas spend together, the Giver realizes that it was not fear that people dont feel emotions, so they came up with a plan. The plan consists of Jonas escaping the community and leaving the boundrie of memories, when someone how carries memories leaves the boundries the memories will be send out to the community. Jonas father tells the family Gabriel is going to be released the next morning, so that night he leaves with Gabe, and his fathers bike. Hours pass, and Jonas is leaving the community. Days go by and both of them start to run out of every supplies they have, but Jonas finds a way out. After a very long time of traveling , he feels they are reaching elsewhere, later it starts to snow and they were freezing.  Jonas raps Gabe in a jacket, and keeps on walking. When they finally get to the top Jonas sees the same sled of this first memories. Both of them go down the heel and Jonas starts to hear music, but he thinks perhaps it only an echo…

“I won`t! I won`t go home! You can`t make me! Jonas sobbed and shouted and pounded the bed with his fists.” 152

I really feel for Jonas, he now realizes that his own father lied to him, but he does not know what he is doing, since the he has no feelings he is not aware of his actions. I can see why he is so mad, and I think he dosen`t trust his family anymore.

 The Giver smiled, and nodded. For the first time in their long months together, Jonas saw him look truly happy.

“Her name was Rosemary,” the Giver said

How could imagine that the Giver had a child specially Rosemary that was training with him to be the next recive, and some very awful stuff happened during the training and after that Rosemary decided to ask for release.

 

Jonas and Gabriel were freezing while trying to get to the top of the mountain to see their current location. They both were suffering of hypothermia but Jonas never gave up.

Jonas had the plan to escape his community, but he had to be very careful about how might see him, and make sure nobody finds out what his plan is about. He also took Gabriel with him so he better be silent.

Echo? Did Jonas really heard music or was it just a echo... The thing is we don`t know, since the book ends there, I mean the book can`t end like that, I really hope there is more to that than I think there is.
