I first learned of The Giver in 1994 and read it and began teaching it the same year. I was always convinced they died because the music seemed to be coming from the place he had come from- where music had not been before. Also notice that the first time and only time in the book, Gabriel is referred to as "the baby" in the next to last paragraph of the book--all this led me to believe that Gabriel and Jonas were dead. But they were not. Gathering Blue (2000) certainly hinted strongly that Jonas was not dead and Messenger (2004) made it abundantly clear that they lived. Posted by dalepowell1962 on May 24, 2009. |
