What is the last paragraph in The Giver?

Answer 1

"They started down.

Jonas felt himself losing consciousness and with his whole being willed himself to stay upright atop the sled, clutching Gabriel, keeping him safe. The runners sliced through the snow and the wind whipped t his face as they sped in a straight line though and incision that seemed to lead to the final destination, the place that he had always felt was waiting, the Elsewhere that held their future and their past.

He forced his eyes open as they went downward, downward, sliding, and all at once he could see lights, and he recognized them now. He knew they were shining through the windows of rooms, that they were red, blue, and yellow lights. that twinkled from trees in places where families celebrated love.

Downward, downward, faster and faster. 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. For the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing.

Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps it was only an echo."

The Giver, page 168

Answer 2

It's describes how Jonas and Gabriel are out on their own trying to survive out side of the community an how Jonas thinks they are going to die and he wants to spend the last moments of his life with the happiest memory he has, sledding. But you decide if they are dead. It is such bad ending becuSe it was only supposed to be a one book series but hen Ashe wanted more money so she made to sequels that are bad and irrelevant .
