Jonas never got the memory of music so it ment mean he in a place that has music like in the book it says " the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music." Showing that they are alive.
ReplyDeleteI think he is in the new community but dies when he makes it there from the cold or starvation. Because at the end of the book Jonas says "maybe it was all just a blur." What Jonas says at the end of the book could be saying that hes just imagining it
Deletethough it couldve been ceremonial to jonas's death and then the ceremony begins with jonas dying on his sled and the people coming and singing to him.
DeleteWell if Jonas dies how is he having hallucinating about going down the hill he can't be dead if he having an hallucination.
DeleteBased on this book, and subsequent books in the quartet, I believe that Jonas and Gabriel, Gabriel at least, survive. As for Gabe, in the books Gathering Blue and Messenger, there is a young child known as Matty, as he calls himself that. he acts as if he was a slightly grown up version of Gabe. For Jonas, on the other hand, his fate is extremely ambiguous. Though, he does have a great chance of surviving, as said in the book, there were no obstacles, no ice to hit, and then, in the off chance he did fall off, the described snow could cushion his impact, greatly increasing his chance for survival. So for my final words (in this comment), I believe that Jonas and Gabriel survived the ending of The Giver.

That was good
DeleteI think that Jonas and Gabriel went down the sled and heard the music from the ceremony for death he survived. They were waiting for him and they were waiting too.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't really make sense, because there is no possible way he could have heard music from the ceremony since he probably is thousands of miles away. Also, I don't even think the people from the community were singing at the same time when he went down the hill.
DeleteSo you thinking that Jonas and Gabreil did not hear music because they are thousands of miles away.
DeleteI think that they do survive because in the book it says:He settled himself on the sled and hugged gabe close.The hill was steep but the snow was powdery and soft. And that he herd people singing in front of him and gabe and in the back but he says it might be an ecoh.
ReplyDeleteno. you wouldnt be able to hear echoes while you are dying or already dead even if your hallucinating but then jonas was dying already so its actually real people singing for jonas's death
DeleteWhy I think that he did survive is becuese he said he was hugging gabe close and that he felt the snow and they said that they were wating for him.
DeleteHe was on deaths door and he just imagined he saw a different community
ReplyDeleteYes girl
ReplyDeleteno because he is hallucinating right now so he is seeing hallucinations of this new town and then jonas died
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ryan Reynolds
ReplyDeleteSantino, I disagree. There is no way that a thirteen year old and a 1 year old could survive in the wilderness with fading memories. I think that they will simply not find anything and will die in the cold because there is nothing there.
ReplyDeleteFinding a town or a new community doesn't mean that he lives. Even if it was a new area he found, it doesn't mean he will survive in the end. He was probably just hallucinating about the whole thing, considering the fact that he was starving and barely could do anything himself by then.
ReplyDeleteHe had had no food for a long time and there was a small chance he would have survived
ReplyDeletei agree too
ReplyDeleteThere are no other communities, It is a 13 year old and a one year old surviving in the cold and unforgiving wilderness. They are DEAD.
ReplyDeleteI think they were just imagining the town and died before they got there

ReplyDeleteI think they survived because Jonas said that he heard music and saw houses in the distance. So he was conshus enough to hear and see.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Jonas and Gabriel survive because the people in the town probably saw the search plane and also the Giver gave Jonas a memory exactly like that. It was a memory of Christmas and it was snowing then. Thanks for reading!
