He feels that he will get assigned some thing that he doesn’t like because the council will not know what to assign him. This majority of the book regards Jonas growing and slowly discovering himself‚ turning from a young boy dependant on his community‚ to a man with numerous unique features.

Hello Jonas‚” I had said to the boy who had just walked in. “Hello Giver.” Jonas was the new receiver of memory‚ I had felt a burning sensation in my heart it was as if someone had just started a campfire with the fire dancing around with the wind‚ the black ashy smoke coming in you’re face burning your eyes making little bowls of water in your eyes. “Jonas i’m going to give you a memory of my own childhood‚ it is very painful.” I had stopped‚ for this memory is why my heart burns‚ I had felt something

The Giver seems to end unclear. Many people have different opinions and ideas on what happened to Jonas and Gabriel when they left the community. However‚ there is an end. Jonas followed the echoing‚ and that was when he suddenly saw it: the Elsewhere he had been looking for. Suddenly‚ all the memories began flooding into his mind‚ good and bad‚ all from the Giver. He felt that this was where he and Gabriel were summoned to. He didn’t know why‚ but it seemed right. He felt like this

“There’s nothing we can do. It has always been this way.” Imagine a world where everything was the same. No difference‚ no outliers‚ nothing out of the ordinary.
