He was in shocked when he saw that his father was injecting a liquid to the smallest twin and then the little baby die. In that moment Jonas start to cry he didn´t know what to do he was feeling upset. The Giver told him that for that night he was going to stay with him and that they were going to make a plan. The plan was about escaping Jonas was going to escape from the community to find Elsewhere that both, the Giver and Jonas, believe existed. Jonas was ok and agree with this plan even though he will never return back to the community. For some days until everything his prepare the Giver give him all his memories of courage and strength so Jonas can continue his way to Elsewhere. One day at dinner in Jonas house his father was talking about Gabe and that unfortunatly he was going to be release of the community. In that moment Jonas couldn´t let that happen because he loves Gabe so Jonas decided to go with him out of the community. Before the Ceremony, at an early time Jonas was going to escape so nobody see them.

Text Responses

"But there were desperate fears building on him now as well. The most relentless of his new fears was that they would starve. Now that they had felt the cultivated fields behind them, it was almost impossible to find food." (172)

Poor Jonas now he is actually feeling the real pain and the real feeling of having fear. I think now Jonas would understand why the community had those rigid ways to ruled because they affect some times very badly the way in which people lived. Also thats the reason why in the community everyday they distribute the food to each dwelling so that nobody feels hunger in their lives. 

"Downward, downward, faster and faster. Suddenly he was aware with certainty and joy that below, ahead, they were waiting 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."(179)

OH NOOO!!!! what happen does Jonas died with the little Gabe? They were such my favorite characters but even though they die or found the new place I will always like this book and the final eventhough is disapointing.  I hope they did it and now they had a better live with much choses. 

Conclusions

I think this book has being amazing and I really recomended to everyone because it makes you reflect a lot about how life might be with a community in where your life is like living inside a bubble without any kind of choses. Also I think that choses makes you the person you are even a negative or positive one but is the person you want to be. Another thing is that with love and pain you learn new things like for example that you dont have to trust everyone because they can hurt you and many times those pianful memories makes you stronger in life. Finally, having memories can be helpful because makes you remember about a mistake you had commit so you never again repeat the same mistake and live a happier life.
