The Giver Monologue
For the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing. Jonas and Gabe headed towards the very familiar sound through the heavy, thick, white snow. Jonas looked at Gabe still wrapped comfortably around his tunic. He then started to see a variety of bright color arranging from red, green and so on from a distance. After walking through the snow while carrying Gabe in his cold arms. He finally came across a couple of buildings. Unlike the community they all looked differently some were a bit bigger from others and were many different colors. He thought, maybe some sort of dwelling perhaps.
