I read a very interesting navel I don't know did you read it before, but I think if you are not the person who read "The Giver" you wouldn't click this title even you can't read, please click this topic after you finish the book. Sorry... far far away from my topic. I read a very interesting navel, "The Giver". If you read it before you may feel disappointed to the writer of the story ending, right? Like someone just take over your favored present from your bosom. When you finish The Giver, you realized the story was not end, it didn't show are Jonas and the baby Gabriel still a life. Are they just dead?
I think you are confusing about what's happening.. (Here is for the people who did not read "The Giver" and they want me to give away the ending) So I am gonna take you back in to the story. Jonas is just a 13 years old kid, but he also is the one carry on the huge changing possibility of where he had being, the home, the family , the community... He got the special job from the giver (who is sending memories to next memories keeper)when he was 12 years old. The leaders of the community have the power to control all the people in the community, they organized everything for the people, group per group... They started to allot jobs to people when they are 12 years old, and there's a very special job for a special kid. "the giver", this job is keeping memories(technology, emotions, knowledge) in mind, and then give to the next memory keeper. He began to start to learn how is this job working, so he just need to learn about what's color look like, what's pain, and what are the emotions. Keeping the memory for the community, just like a memory stick.
Jump to the end. I know I am not a good story talker, so I just want to give the way the ending for you, please be nice, don't blame on me!
Jonas is forced to escape right away. Because he can not agree, can not allow, and want to stop everything happens in the community. Because it's inhuman I think, maybe the people in the community control the community just want to save the people in the community, but the way they doing it, it's just take over the right and freedom. No feelings, no emotions, no loves. If I was live in that community, I would rather to die!
Jonas running away from the community, and Gabriel in the snowing weather. No one knows if they are still a life, But they heard some of the music is playing. I think they might be lucky boys(boy and baby?) who just fund a new world to start, maybe theres another community waiting for him, and they will made their new life better and better.... I love happy ending!!XD

Well, you make a solid effort to explain the plot and I love your comparison of Jonas to a memory stick...very clever. You talk about the ending, but you don't really give any support from the novel for your interpretation of the ending. It's nice that someone in the class thinks that they get to live, though.
8/10
