Many people, including myself, had written letters and e-mailed requests to Lois Lowry asking she does so. However Lois Lowry wants US (the readers) to make our own sequel. Make it what YOU want to make it. CHANGE the story. I agree and my sister is starting an extra chapter in class. She says it's A LOT of fun to do. SO YOU BE THE AUTHOR!
Lois Lowry wanted readers to think critically about the importance of individuality, emotion, and freedom of choice in society. She hoped to spark discussions on the dangers of conformity and the need for human connection and empathy.
It left the book open for another book. There are two other Gathering Blue and the Messanger Jonas and Gab come into the messanger. I think Lois was refering to Jonas furture not ending but just the beging.
By not wanting you to know the ending of the story. He wants you to create your ending. I heard from my Literature teacher that he never actually has an ending and he wants the reader to come up with one that they think is the best. Like in The Giver, I thought that it was like Jonas was Joseph and Gabriel was Jesus and this was like when Mary and Joseph came into Jerusalum. Hope this helped!Lois Lowry is a woman.
Lois Lowry's message to me in my opinion is not to take for granted our world today. For example, we make our own choices, we have a variety of colors that we can see, and we are in control of ourselves. No one is over us, like in an Utopian Society.
In "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, when Mama says there has been "deft" it means that the plan to help the Rosens escape was carried out skillfully and without drawing attention. Mama is reassuring Annemarie that they were successful in their efforts.
In "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, after the war is over, Rosens will have the opportunity to rebuild their lives in Denmark and reconnect with their family and friends. They may also reflect on their experiences during the war and work towards healing from the trauma they endured.
Oh, dude, Lois Lowry wrote in a variety of genres, like fiction, young adult, and children's literature. She's like the Swiss Army knife of authors, dabbling in different genres like it's no big deal. So yeah, she's pretty versatile, but don't worry, you don't have to read all her books to impress your book club.
In Lois Lowry's "The Giver," Jonas gives up his safety, the comfort of his controlled society, and the relationships he has known for the freedom to experience true emotions, individuality, and the depth of human experience. He sacrifices the predictable life of conformity to embrace the uncertainty and pain that come with real freedom. Ultimately, he chooses to seek a life filled with authentic feelings, memories, and the possibility of love, despite the risks involved.

In "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, Jonas is frightened by the list of duties and responsibilities that come with being selected as the Receiver of Memory. This role entails bearing the community's collective memories, including painful and traumatic experiences, which contrasts sharply with the controlled and painless life he has known. The weight of this responsibility, along with the fear of isolation and the burden of knowledge, creates deep anxiety for Jonas as he realizes the profound implications of his new role.
The Giver movie is supposedly "in progress" hopefully it will be out sometime this year. (2011)
