    Toward the end of "The Giver" Jonas and the Giver decide that Jonas will escape from the community so that the memories he has received will all go to the community and they will have to deal with feelings like pain, hunger, sorrow and war.  Jonas is to wait until just before the naming-ceremony and go to the Giver's house.  He is to go to the home of the Giver who will in turn give him many memories of courage and strength.  He will then sneak out of the community never to return.  The evening before he is supposed to leave however, he learns that Gabe is to be "released" the next morning so, he takes Gabe and leaves the community without saying good bye to the Giver.
