Character Commandant - Angie M

1. Jonas was horrified when he found out what the newchild's release really means, and refuses to go home to his family. Pg 152. The Giver explains to Jonas that the people in the community cannot feel the same things he does, and helps him in his plan to escape from the community. Pg 158.

2. Jonas and Gabriel finally escaped the community, and had to hide from the planes that were looking for them. Since the planes use heat seeking to look for them, Jonas gave a memory of the coldest thing he could think of to Gabriel. This made both of their temperatures cold enough to not be sensed by the planes. Pg. 169.

3. Along the way to Elsewhere, Jonas and Gabriel experienced new things. They saw flying birds for the first time, which they had thought were planes at first. They also got to see other animals, such as deer and foxes. They also saw many new types of plants that they had not seen before. Pg. 172.

4. Jonas lost most of the memories given to him by the Giver, but he was able to remember the warm feeling of sunshine. Using this, he transmits the memory to Gabriel, and they were both able to make it up the snow covered hill, even though they were very cold and hungry. pg 176-177.

5. Jonas and Gabriel ride down the hill on a sled they found, and see lots of houses. Jonas was sure there were families with memories and love inside those houses, and that they were waiting for him and the newchild. Finally, hears music for the first time. Pg 179-180.
