Epilogue Of The Giver

Improved Essays
For the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing. He saw lights glowing inside and outside of the dwelling. Jonas saw somebody put on a coat and a hat and walk outside. The tall man walked towards Jonas and Gabe with a worried look. He picked up Gabe without hesitation and said to Jonas “Why were you gone so long Jonas, you said you were gonna play with Gabe outside for a few minutes.” Jonas looked at him confused. “How do you know my name?” Jonas asked the strange tall man. The man chuckled with Gabe tucked between his arms. “Jonas, I’m your father. Your family is waiting inside for you two.”
Jonas looked at him weird. Jonas did not have a family outside of the community. The only family he has ever had he left inside the community. “Jonas, your mother is worried sick about you. Let's get inside and give you some Christmas food.” His father said. Without hesitation Jonas got off the sled and followed the man inside the

The dog was up to Jonas’s waist and golden yellowish color. Then he noticed something strange about the house. Everyone that was in the house was everyone he knew from the community. Jonas saw his father, his mother, Lily, Gabe, The Giver, Asher, Fiona, and even Rosemary. He saw one older lady he did not recognize from the community. Then after a few seconds of looking at the Giver, somebody burst through the front door with red and white coat and pants. He started saying “HO HO HO, merry Christmas everybody!” Jonas was scared out of his mind. He saw his mother walking with the fat man as well. “Who is this guy?” Jonas asked his father. His dad looked at him confused and started laughing. Jonas didn’t know why his father was laughing at him. “That’s Santa, every year on Christmas day he goes down out chimney and brings us presents if we were good this year. And on Christmas Eve, he comes and gives one present to the kids and some

    Perseverance is essential for success in this world. This is what I think the authors of the two books I read were trying to tell the readers in their stories, ‘The Giver’ by Lois Lowry and ‘Legend’ by Marie Lu. In these stories the characters, Day and Jonas, however very different, are, like many things much more similar than you think. Jonas rebels against the ‘government’ in the community. He wants everyone to have memories and see color.…

    As the snow covered sled reached the bottom of the hill, the music grew louder, louder, louder, until he was sure that it wasn't an echo. Jonas transferred the last memory of warmth to Gabriel, and once again the flakes of heat began to travel across his frozen skin. Mustering up all his strength, Jonas lifted Gabe's frail body into his cold hands and pushed himself off the frozen sled. He trudged through the snow, Gabriel in his arms, and came to the first doorstep. He collapsed on the door, making a startling noise ring throughout the dwelling.…

    “The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared,” Lois Lowry wrote in the book The Giver (154). The characters in this book live in a futuristic community that has eliminated everything causing pain. For example, there are strict rules governing rudeness, so the community does not allow community members to ask any question that will make anyone feel different.…

    The Giver was written by Lois Lowry and was originally published in 1993. The book follows the story of a twelve year old boy named Jonas who lives in a dystopian world, in a place called ‘The Community’. I enjoyed reading this because there was a strong hidden message that carried on throughout the book. As a whole it was intriguing, but I found it slightly confusing because some details didn’t seem to have much of a connection to the overall story.…
