Question

The Giver Book
Let's discuss what you think happened at the novel's conclusion. What was "perhaps
only an echo?" Make a case for both sides: Did Jonas and Gabriel live or die? Use textual support to strengthen your responses. This support can be from any portion of
the novel!

THEY LIVE:


THEY DIE

Answer 1

Answer:

The music Jonas heard was perhaps only an echo.

Explanation:

Jonas and Gabriel die because they lost his hope for what they thought to be Elsewhere. They said,"... they were waiting for him;and they were waiting, too, for the baby" (p178-179)   which makes me think they died.
