the giver possible ending

I've heard that it isn't based on Jonas and Gabe, why do you think Lowry made it this way? They can hear music, see lights, and they are at the top of the hill that will bring them down to the village. There's a climate control. So yeah, I think they died! They end up "elsewhere" on Christmas Day. It was pretty piontless although it did answer some confusion.I believe that they die. They have never seen birds until this time; they have never caught a fish. I hate to sound cynical, but having worked in the publishing industry for many years, I know that bringing in revenue is more important than contributing to great literature.This question has been answered.

I have always thought the most reasonable explanation for the ending was that Jonas and Gabriel were dying. Then I read the interview with So, if I'm being optimistic, I'd say they find a nice family to take them in, and somehow the society they find in Elsewhere doesn't have the same constraints as the community they came from, so they are able to grow up with actual feelings and family, etc., to envision a brighter future.

But now the rapidly deepening snow obscured the narrow road and made the ride impossible. They can now choose their own fates, but no one can guarantee their success. While Jonas is freezing to death he imagines his first memory filled with joy.

the giver told jonas a story of a past reciever that had left and ALL the memories that had been recieved were lost and given to the people in the town leaving them overwelmed with all these new things they had never felt. The book also supports this idea because he heard music and saw lights and warmth coming from Elsewhere, indicating that there is life and emotion there. If they were seeing and hearing these things, that must mean that they were in a different part of the world, Elsewhere. But, they lived and i was happy with that.no no no no no! That is what the authur said at the ending. Further Reading: the way i thought of the ending was that jonas was just returning to the old town that he had just left and it had changed. Sometimes, the heat-seeking airplanes come looking for them, and Jonas has to transfer memories of cold to Gabe so the two of them can lower their body temperature and remain undetected by the aircraft.

She allows the reader to decide what they think the ending is. When he and Gabe climb onto the sled, we are left with no resolution; we don't know what happens after that. I wonder if there was a planned sequel? Jonas say his first knowing or whatever was from an apple, he arrived on a sled which is in a muesium in Village, it says he arrived when there was snow, it describes him using his powers to see beyond, and his blue eyes, and a lot more.I don't recommend reading Messenger, it was not a very good book. I'm including it as the second link here.When Jonas leaves the community, we only know a little bit of what happens to him.

How much does it talk about Jonas and Gabe? Their journey is long and difficult; they have little food and energy, and they don't know where they are going. Others believe that Jonas and Gabe have found communities who live in the old way, with music and color and joy, as well as pain and suffering. Suddenly he was aware with certainty and joy that below, ahead, they were waiting for him; and that they were waiting, too, for the baby. They did reach “Elsewhere.” Jonas thought that Elsewhere was a good place where people went when they were released. He carries the baby gently in his arms.

No one really knows.The ending of The Giver is very ambiguous. According to the enotes entry, "The novel's ending is ambiguous, but circular. Gabriel lives too because in the end, the book says that the people were waiting for the baby, too.Gabe and jonas live, it made me cry the first time i read the book cause i thought that they died.I think personaly that they die because in the situation they're in doesn't seem very likely to survive. Further Reading: He sees a wonderful light. Perhaps Jonas, aware that he is dying and has failed to save Gabriel, is given a merciful last thought of the love and joy he so lacked in his life back at home. He decides to rescue Gabriel and escape the community, and they grow steadily weaker as they travel through an unfamiliar wintery landscape. Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. I think that Lois Lowry wouldnt have left the ending like that if she wanted them to be gone. So they have all sorts of experiences along the way to prepare them for life outside the community. That's the way i see it anyway. If Elsewhere really is a place where people "go" when they are released, maybe he has reached Elsewhere because he is dead. How did the sled get there? It is such a popular book that I would wonder why Lowry didn't write it. And, in the final lines where he believes he hears singing coming from that very home, he could either be hearing the real singing of a society that has finally awoken to joy or be desperately imagining it so that he can be happy in the knowledge that at least that part of the plan worked.Ambiguity is the name of the game here - whilst I agree that the novel ends in a way that obviously is set up for a sequel, I think part of the mastery of its ending lies in the fact that we do not know and we are deliberately left with at least two possible endings - they die or they reach Elsewhere and live. Further Reading: I have not read the sequel. Ending is totally based on the reader's perception and knowledge.The end is ambiguous, it is totally up to your imagination and point of view.
