DISCUSSION: The Ending of The Giver
What is your take on the ending of The Giver? Do you feel it was intended to be a happy ending or sad ending? Join the discussion, give your opinion, and give us your reasoning why!
I think it was a happy ending because at the end it was talking about how they were close to a village and that there was music and that they would go to the village and live not die.
I liked the ending because I felt that Louis Lowry made it happy. :) If she was going to lead the whole book up to that part why would she make them die at the end? It wouldn't make sense! So I liked the book...... even though I'm sure Bria didn't.
I think it was suppose to be a sad ending because they were in the snow freezing and they are nearly dead from starvation and they are super cold. I did not like the book that much.
I think the ending was supposed to be happy even though i like sad endings and I hope they just ended up in elsewhere because that would be awesome because i felt bad that they had to live in such a strict society

ReplyDeleteDo you think Jonas felt freedom from the society was worth it, if they they died at the end?

DeleteI think Jonas would have been happier being free and dying with Gabriel than living in the community filled with lies and no emotions.
