this is the final chapter if the giver, and things started to get serious on the boys journey, supposably out of sameness and into “elsewhere” The track on the two’s voyage begins to freeze, and bug hills approach them. There is snow falling all around, which makes it harder to find food and stay warm. Since there is snow on the ground, Jonas can not ride the bike anymore since it is piling up with freezing cold flurries. He also was losing consciousness since he has barely eaten much in days and struggling to keep him and Gabe alive. He was even riding the bicycle one day and stopped pedaling. The bike fell on Jonas and Gabe. He is also trying to use every last bit of the memory warmth to help himself and Gabe stay warm, but for the most part, it wouldn’t work. This made me feel that soon Jonas and Gabe wouldn’t handle it anymore. The boys then come across a hill and Jonas decided to go over. It says as he approaches the top, he finds a sled. as he looks down the bottom, he could see light. then it says that while Jonas and Gabe are on the sled, Jonas starts to loose consciousness but keeps his head up. as they get closer and closer down the hill, he sees more and more light. he text in the book says that when they reach the bottom, there was music, and people waiting for Jonas, and the baby Gabe.he even felt joy inside himself when he reached the top of the hill. I think that the end of the context is a hint for you to figure out for yourself what happened. What I think is that Jonas (and maybe Gabe) died and since they hear music and see lightened feel slight joy in his body, he most likely died

The first part of this chapter, Jonas notices the downsides of his plan, which won't work, but it also talks about his Jonas will flee the community. Before Jonas decides to dash along the world, he finishes his daily family dinner. Everything goes as planned until Jonas father announces Gabriel will be released. he said that he even voted for him to be released. it would happen early tomorrow morning. Jonas had grown too attached (which he was told to do). Soon his mind makes up. He's not going to let this happen and will take Gabriel with him on his escape. Gabriel was so special to Jonas, that Jonas felt a close relationship he has never felt before. It then tells us that when Jonas was running away, he broke too many rules, one of which involved stealing his fathers bicycle that has a designated baby seat on the back. Shortly enough it had been morning and Gabe was just waking up, meanwhile jones's feet were aching from the peddles. Knew he was very tired and had to sleep but also had to find a way to get gabe to fall back asleep, since he just woke up. They slept all day and drove all night. it soon became a daily routine. Sometimes, Jonas would lay his hands on Gabe's back to transmit a memory of soothingness. They noticed the Search planes look for them, flying so close to land Jonas could almost make out the pilots faces. It happened day after day. It became another routine while Jonas and Gabe would drop behind a tree or bush, to hold from the planes searching for the two. Gabe would even say "Plane! Plane!" to warn Jonas because thats what happened every day, sometimes multiple times a day. One day, Jonas knew that was it. There were no planes flying, no loud noises to indicate a vehicle, nothing. Everything went away back to their psychopath community, while Jonas and Gabe were living life the right way.
Chapter 20-
Jonas sat with the giver, debating whether to go home or not, although is pretty much leaning towards not going back, but he knows he has to return to his dwelling., until the giver says Jonas could spend the night, which he probably felt very relieved about.He was not ready to face his father after seeing what he does to innocent people. While Jonas is still with the giver, a conversation sparks between the two about how important the memories are to the world. The giver tells joined one of his own memories, that when he was twelve, he couldn't see beyond, but hear beyond. he head quite pleasant music playing. Since it seemed the giver loved that memory so very much, Jonas insisted he'd not transmit it but to keep it to himself. After all, the Giver can't see color anymore, but he should atlas have a big part of him left. After hours of talking, the giver and Jonas grasp an idea. The giver and Jonas discuss the rest of their plan to escape. They want to do this because since they think the memories are very important, when Jonas leaves the community, all memories will be given to people, which is though to be very important. Jonas did not want to go alone and insisted to go with the Giver, but he says the peopled him in the society when Jonas is gone. The Giver wanted to be with his daughter, "Her name was Rosemary." Jonas was shocked to hear he evened a daughter, but to hear that it was rosemary blew him away. In the past chapter, one of the last couple paragraphs states that Jonas wants to cry. Its because he had just learned what release had actually meant. He hates that these poor, innocent people are being killed in this psychopath society. It made him wanna cry even more is that his father's job is to release people in the community. If my dads job was to kill innocent people that members of the community don't approve, I would not even look at him.
