The Giver Ending
The ending to the book "The Giver", is very good, and interesting. People have wondered about what really happened, and even in certain interviews with the author, Lois Lowry.
At <http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/article/lois-lowry-interview-transcript> A child asks this: My teachers argue over the ending of The Giver! How does it really end?
Lois replies: It ends with Jonas and Gabriel going downhill in a sled toward a house with welcoming lights. Ho ho ho. Aren't I a mean author, not to be more specific? I like it when you argue. It makes you think.
Since she said this, this makes me think two things: She is a very mean and evil person who likes to watch people argue and destroy each other over something; She is very curious in what her readers think about her book, and what their interpretation of the ending of her books are.
She also says at <http://www.randomhouse.com/teachers/guides/give.html> she says how she likes to think on the bright side, while others say that the two run away's froze to death, she likes to think that the two had made it to a different type of community, where no one was brainwashed, and everything was perfectly normal, in human nature.
My opinion on how The Giver ended is simple. I believe that the Gabe and Jonas had made it down the hill, on their sled, at the brink of freezing to death, and starvation, but, they enter what Jonas knows as the regular, human colony. But, in another opinion, I believe that they survived, but made it to Narnia! There, they went on mystical conquests for the queens and kings, and the big lion, soon to destroy the ice queen, with the three kids in the "Chronicles of Narnia" books.
