    In The Giver by Lois Lowry, the author leaves the reader wondering if Jonas died or found elsewhere. I think he didn't make it because the evidence that the author provides for the reader is clues that Jonas didn't find elsewhere. First, the author clearly states that, “Jonas felt himself losing consciousness.” This quote means that Jonas is either fainting or dying. Also Jonas sees snow and his community has climate control, and that means that all the communities near each other should have climate control.…

    Jonas realizes and chooses to leave the town, but as he does, he hears that Gabriel, a child his father is currently in care for, “will…be released... First thing tomorrow morning”, as he is an underdeveloped infant. Jonas takes Gabriel with him as he bikes off out to “Else-where” (165-166). As they reach “Else-Where” Jonas remarks about himself being able to “remember [this] place” but the experience “was not the grasping of a thin and burdensome recollection…[the experience] was different” and “for the first time” he “heard something he knew to be music… he heard people singing”(178-180). Jonas realizes the fallacies within the dystopia of the “town” he lives in, and runs away, reliving the town of an important role they rely on. As he finally reaches elsewhere with the baby, he realizes that this was familiar in a way unlike the memories he was given, however, this was something else entirely, a memory he has actually experienced. He begins to fathom…
