Why was a replacement child given for the four year old Caleb?
His name is not murmered because Release of an Elder is not the same as a loss, like Caleb.
In "The Giver," the term "replacement of child" refers to the practice of assigning a new child to a family unit after their original child has been released from the community. These replacement children are chosen by the community leaders and are meant to fill the void left by the loss of the previous child.
the first caleb was a four who fell into the river he was "replaced"
Yes, in "The Giver," Caleb is described as having pale, washed-out eyes.
The Murmur of Replacement ceremony is a ceremony that shows that a child was too stupid to go somewhere and drown or die by ( accident )!
No, once a gift is given, it legally belongs to the recipient and cannot be taken back by the giver.
The first ceremony is performed The second ceremony is performed to show that a child had an untimely death. It will be preformed again when the family receives another child. It signifies that the same child is returning through the new child.
Oh, dude, the first Caleb in "The Giver" totally gets released. And by "released," I mean they straight-up euthanize him because that's how they roll in that dystopian society. So yeah, it's not exactly a happy ending for Caleb, but hey, at least he's out of that whole messed up situation, right?

The Giver's failed replacement was Rosemary, who was unable to bear the difficult memories that came with her role and asked for release. This traumatic event led the Community to choose Jonas as the new Receiver of Memories.
Roberto did not receive a replacement ceremony in "The Giver" because he failed in his training as a Nurturer and was released from the community instead. In the story, a replacement ceremony is only held when a citizen dies or is released from the community, but not specifically for those who fail in their assignments.
The new child's death brought back a painful memory for The Giver of a previous situation in which a child had been released from the community. This memory brought up feelings of loss and sadness for him.
