rosemary
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.
Gabriel
In "The Giver," the naming of an elder is a ritual in the community where a newborn is given a name. The Elder who announces the name is responsible for observing the child's behaviors and characteristics to assign a fitting name. This tradition reinforces the community's value of conformity and control.
The child that Jonas saves in "The Giver" is Gabriel, a baby who is scheduled to be released because he is not developing according to the community's standards. Jonas takes Gabriel with him when he leaves the community in search of Elsewhere.
because they have to apply to the children and some people in the giver have alreday applied but they have not got their child yet...... does that answer your question?
