Jonas becomes the next Receiver.
Gabriel is being released the next morning so that motivates him to take Gabriel and consider the Giver's plan.
In "The Giver," the protagonist is Jonas, a young boy chosen to be the Receiver of Memories. The antagonist can be seen as the society in which Jonas lives, which strips away emotions and memories in the pursuit of sameness.
In Lois Lowry's book "The Giver," the Giver's "daughter" is named Rosemary. She was the previous Receiver-in-Training who failed and requested to be released, leading the Giver to choose Jonas as the next Receiver.
The Giver in the book "The Giver" is a character named The Giver who is responsible for storing the memories of the community and passing them on to the protagonist, Jonas, who is training to become his successor. The Giver's role is to help the community avoid making the same mistakes that led to their highly controlled society.
In "The Giver," Jonas and The Giver's plan is for Jonas to escape from the community and journey to Elsewhere, taking with him the memories and knowledge he has gained from The Giver. Their hope is that by leaving, Jonas can bring those memories to the people in the community and help them experience a full range of emotions and choices.
The Giver sends Jonas away some days to give him time to process his intense emotions, experiences, and memories. This separation helps Jonas reflect and gain perspective on the weighty and sometimes troubling memories he receives from the Giver.
Jonas feels the sunshine which is so nice and warm but the sun burns even harder on his skin and he wants it to stop. That is the first physical pain.
Jonas had to receive and store memories of pain in order to understand and appreciate the true depth of human experiences, both positive and negative. By experiencing pain, he is able to grow and empathize with others, ultimately gaining wisdom and compassion.
After Jonas leaves the community in "The Giver," he finds himself in a new world where he faces challenges and experiences emotions that were previously unknown to him. He ultimately discovers the truth about the society he came from and the importance of human connection and individuality.
If there had been one more chapter in "The Giver," it is possible that the story may have explored how Jonas's actions affected the community and what consequences he faced for leaving. Additionally, it could have delved into Jonas's experiences as he discovers a new society and learns to navigate this unfamiliar world.
Jonas has mixed feelings about being selected as the next Receiver of Memory because while he is eager to learn more about the truth behind his society's controlled way of life, he is also fearful of the unknown and the responsibilities that come with the role. Furthermore, the weight of knowing the truth and bearing the memories of pain and suffering can be daunting for him.
