The ending of THE GIVER may be interpreted in two very different ways. Perhaps Jonas is remembering his Christmas memory --- one of the most beautiful that The Giver transmitted to him --- as he and Gabriel are freezing to death, falling into a dreamlike coma in the snow. Or perhaps Jonas does hear music and, with his special vision, is able to perceive the warm house where people are waiting to greet him. In her acceptance speech for the Newbery Medal, Lois Lowry mentioned both possibilities but would not choose one as correct. Which side do you agree with? What evidence supports each interpretation?

Its optimistic part of me would like to believe Jonas has succeeded in bringing Sanchez to a new place, which views towards individual freedom and free-thinking are not as restrictive as we left in the community. It would like to think that Jonas' illumination is in welcoming homes, filled with people who are truly loving to bring it in and take care of them.

So, in those ways, it also appears possible whether Joel is dead and attempted to make Gabriel safe, contributing to the demise of Gabriel. If it was the case, then the warm light and music

listens will reveal the universe or a good afterlife of a certain sort.

But it doesn't matter. That pictures of light and warmth, of songs and happiness, tell everyone that Jonas or Gabriel was happier than they would have left.

It doesn't show you precisely just what is gone on. Yes, it's a

series, but another one. The very first book is the Giver, the other is The Gathering Blue, and I know the last book is tying together all the 1st, the second, because as I said that it was different. I think the fourth novel is the Giver, the 3rd is the Donator; the 3rd is The Courier," I don't understand it. Have a pleasure, there are many fantastic books!

Truthfully, I think we foresee a continuation from The Giver ending.

I assume that the initial text or novel proposal was so much shorter than that of the print, and the editor wanted to break a sequence to gain more profit. It was not enough. I hate sounding cynical, and after many years in the publishing industry, I know it is more necessary to bring revenue than to contribute to literary fiction.

It's the most appropriate explanation We ever have thought of with the end has been the deaths of Jonas and Gabriel. I also read Claire Lowry's other phrases, that she'll never end like this though,

Jonas' images of the winters or Christmas are meant to be very mature. Mostly on the opposite, the plane from one stage flies past.

I think she created a book that was very skillful to interpret and everybody could be supported with book instances, whenever, it gets to it straight away.
