The Ambigous End
The Giver ends on a cliffhanger. This ending leaves many people wondering about what happens next. We were required to write two paragraphs about what we think happened to Jonas and Gabe. So here are our endings.
Isaac- Jonas and Gabe were sledding down the hill with tremendous speed. Once, they reached the colored lights they heard an ominous sound. Jonas recognized the place somehow but quickly relinquished the thought. The people from the community came to solace them. Jonas asked where exactly he was but no one spoke English. Jonas demanded to speak to someone by doing this Jonas augmented the whole situation. Then, the villagers realized that the benign old man who lived in house number seventy-seven speaks English.
Jonas was exuberant when he heard that news. Maybe he could actually figure out where he was. Jonas started talking to the old man. The man said they were in a community called Wilderness Time-Travel. Jonas asked how he got here and was there a way out. The man explained that you reach the community by passing through a time portal. He also said there was no way out. Jonas was very dejected after what the old man had said. Jonas and Gabe were very dehydrated so they went to the torrent that permeates the community. The water must have done something to Jonas's brain because he declared himself king. Until the end of his time Jonas will sit on his thrown with indolence ruling Wilderness Time-Travel.
Ally- Jonas and Gabe were growing very tired and very weak. Just as they were about give up, they found a sled at the top of a hill. Jonas placed Gabe on the sled and got on behind him. Jonas carefully started to push them down and then they were off. They were going down the hill at an exuberant speed. When they reached the bottom of the hill, Jonas saw a house with very pretty lights. Jonas then heard an ominous sound. He remember it as music. Jonas had recognized this from before.
Just as he was about to walk over to the house, he fell and got back up. When he stood up, he was no longer in elsewhere. He was back in the community and it was ceremony day still. " Jonas hurry up! It's almost our turn." Asher called. It was all a dream? He thought to himself.
Cameron- Gabe and Jonas are going down the snowy hill. Jonas sees a town. As Jonas enters he sees a sign that says, " Welcome to Sunset city Pop of 1100". He enters a local general store. He starts asking questions about where he is. As he's talking he sees a girl. He loses his focus and starts talking to the girl. His focus was augmented towards her. Turns out her name is Elizabeth. One thing leads to another and they end up settling down in the small town called Sunset city.
John- Jonas and Gabe are sledding down a snowy hill. They see lights down the hill and through a forest. So they continue sledding down the hill. Then they reconize that there is movement in the snow to the left. They slow the sled down to go check it out, and they see that it is a kitten. Jonas grabbed the kitten and put it in the cradle with Gabe for warmth. Now they cotinue sledding down the hill towards the lights. They are reaching exuberent speeds going down the steep hill. Jonas and Gabe reached the scary forest and there was two paths. Gabe pointed down the left so they walked cautiously. After 30 minutes of walking, they came to a sign that said, "Welcome to Elsewhere." Thats when Gabe and Jonas relaxed and rested. They finally had a smile on their faces.
A'Lyric- Jonas and Gabe were sledding down the hill. They saw lights of some sort of town or something. They arrived in the town to see a catwalk. Jonas knew it was a catwalk from a past memory the Giver had given him. Many of the models looked and seemed scrupulous to Jonas. Jonas meet Queen Bee the queen of this fashion town. Though the queen had an indolence problem she still got stuff done, and what she couldn't do she had her minions do for her.
