Jonas had pale blue eyes, because his birthmother had them and him and Gabe most likly had the same birthmother
Before Jonas ever receives the memory of the rainbow they never mention that Gabe's eyes are blue. They mention that they are pale and have depth.
"Pale Blue Eyes" is a song by The Velvet Underground which was created in 1968.
In "The Giver," Jonas is described as having light eyes like most people in the community. He has light brown hair that is cut short, like all other community members. Jonas is also described as having a lean and fit physique.
Jonas' eye color is pale just like the newborn Gabriel, whereas everyone else's eyes are dark. His eyes were probably light blue, while most of the community may have had brown eyes. However, since no one could see colours, his eyes were a pale grey.
They had pale eyes and so did the giver
He had pale blue eyes.
Both Jonas and the new child, Gabriel, had pale eyes, which was uncommon in the community. Additionally, Gabriel had the ability to receive memories from Jonas, marking him as special and different from other children in the community.
Jonas has pale eyes unlike most of the other people in the community.
cremello, it looks like aVERY pale palimino!
Both Jonas and Gabriel have blue eyes, a very uncommon feature in their community, because of "Sameness." This meant that they had the same birth mother and because Jonas could receive memories, Gabe probably could too. The other person Jonas saw that had blue eyes was a 5-year old girl also from the same birth mother (each birth mother had three children).In other words, Gabe had light eyes almost exactly like Jonas' eyes. Jonas thought that maybe they had the the same birth mother as Gabe, along with the little girl in the Sevens. She had light eyes too. Jonas was also embarrassed about anyone talking about light eyes because he had light eyes too, unlike the rest of the community that had darker eyes.
He had pale eyes, and he had had short, neatly combed, brown hair. He was different because the vast population had brown eyes and his eyes were a pale blue, much like the Giver's and Gabriel's.
Jonas feels uncomfortable about sharing the same pale eyes with Gabriel because it signifies their unique differences in a community that values sameness. The pale eyes set them apart from others, making Jonas aware of their distinctiveness, which goes against the societal norm of conformity. This awareness also deepens his sense of connection with Gabriel, highlighting his growing understanding of individuality and emotion in a world where such traits are suppressed.
