Alternate Ending to the Giver Essay Example

bed of memory the silver door knob jiggled as someone pushed it open. He heard two familiar voices approach him as a girl with red curly hair stepped inside along with a tall male and gray hair. In surprise it was Fiona and the Giver. Jonas lifted himself from the bed of memory and stepped toward the two as he stumbled anxiously. The Giver opened his arms to hug Jonas as Jonas fell into his arms sobbing softly and happily.

Pulling away from the hug he then saw Fianoa. He approached Fiona and hugged her as well before letting go and lazily stumbling back onto the bed of memories. The Giver lowly chuckled. ¨ah, Jonas we have been waiting for you here¨. Fiona nodded in agreement and smiled softly. ¨perhaps you look cold and frigid...let me give you warmth and strength¨ the Giver said calmingly and Jonas removed his tunic his cold raw skin scraped from his chest to his waist and he laid besides Gabriel.

The Giver firmly placed his hand on Jonas´s back transferring a memory to Jonas. Jonas sat on a log of splintery wood. All around him in a circle were logs of wood and in the middle were three logs stacked on top of one another. Jonas reached his hand out quickly pulling his hand back from the burning sensation of the hot fire. He rubbed his now warm hands together and closed his eyes tightly enjoying the warmth until he received a word. The word was campfire. The Giver removed his hands from Jonas´s back and weakly inhaled sharply. Jonas sat up ¨I received a word¨ he said. The Giver smiled

at him. ¨what was the word my dear¨.

Jonas held his grumbling stomach hunger taking him over. ¨campfire¨ Jonas said groaning from hungriness. ¨campfire indeed¨ the Giver responded. Jonas nodded and placed his hands on gabriels back. He closed his eyes and struggled to transfer the memory to Gabriel when he felt a warm spark between his hands and the child's back. Gabriel giggled softly and his chubby arms thrashed around as he giggled to himself weakly the warmness of the campfire giving him strength.

When nothing but a single spark of the memory was still there Jonas removed his hands from Gabes back and Gabriel started to cry again. Fiona handed Jonas a package of baby food for the little one and Jonas put the food onto a spoon swiftly feeding it to the child. Gabriel ate it as a mess of applesauce created on his face and Jonas giggled at the little one. Fiona then gave food to Jonas to feed himself. Jonas ate all of his food smiling in satisfaction as he rubbed his stomach and stood up. Fiona smiled at him.

¨The Giver asked me to come here for you nobody knows i'm gone so i should be leaving now Jonas¨. Jonas frowned to himself. ¨if this is the last time we ever meet...¨ Jonas hugged Fiona tightly and spoke into her ear.¨i love you Fiona, and i love Asher too¨. Fiona giggled and Jonas pulled away from the hug not responding as she didnt know what love was. ¨I hope to see you again Jonas. Good bye¨. She walked out of the white door disappearing as if she was an illusion. Jonas sighed

and unfolded a pair of clothes the Giver handed him. ¨thank you¨ he said and walked to a metallic door in the room changing into the new clothes and came back out.

¨Oh my their so big on me¨ Jonas said and the giver chuckled and placed his hand on Jonas´s shoulder. ¨rest please. You and Gabriel need to rest and I´ll be here¨ the Giver said and Jonas nodded laying down and pulling Gabe into his now warm embrace holding him to his chest firmly. The Giver walked to the white door opening it slowly and smiled at the scene. ¨goodnight Gabe¨ Jonas said and closed his eyes him and the child falling asleep together.

It was four days later Jonas was feeding Gabriel until he heard a knock on the white door to the annex room where he had been sleeping in for the four past days. ¨come in¨ Jonas called out and the silver door knob turned indicating someone was entering the room. ¨hello¨ the Giver said with a hasty tone and Jonas quickly understood something was wrong. ¨sir what's wrong¨ Jonas sat the baby food down as Gabriel rolled around on the carpeted floor giggling and squealing.

¨Jonas we need to leave now we can go back to the annex room in the other community i'll explain-¨ the Giver was quickly cut off when the presence of another person entered into the annex room. ¨w-what is going on¨ Jonas`s voice became shaky in fear. A tall women with light brown hair entered into the room. Her hands were old and wrinkly indicating she was old. ¨hello¨ she said coldly and with a sharp tone.

¨my name is Agnes and i'm the top leader in our community but i'm afraid I have some bad news for you sir¨.

A grin grew on her face and the Giver placed his hand on her shoulder. ¨excuse me but were a bit busy¨ the Giver said and Agnes put her finger over his wrinkled lips. ¨I have no time for your nonsense sir. It is time for Jonas to hear the bad news¨. Jonas hesitantly shook his head not wanting anything to do with whatever she had to say. The woman spoke. ¨im aware that you have been staying here for the past four days and that's fine but unfortunately we do not accept people from other communities so, I will release you myself¨.

As she spoke her last words Jonas`s heart stopped his body shook his lip trembled and his body froze. He was frozen in fear. ¨n-no you don't have to do that i-i can leave now¨ Jonas said as his voice stuttered in fear. ¨there's no sense of that you already left your community you can't go back so I can handle this myself¨ the woman spoke firmly and grabbed Jonas hand as the Giver pushed her aside. ¨i'm afraid I can't let you do that miss Agnes but I can certainly keep track of him and take care of him myself¨ the Giver said and pushed Jonas behind him.

The woman huffed and placed her hands on her hips. ¨then i'll handle this myself wether you like it or not I did not ask for your thought on if this is going to happen or not it is my choice and I

will do as I please thank you !!¨ Jonas jumped as she yelled out and dropped to his knees. ¨please miss Agnes please don't do this to me I can do anything for you as long as you don't release me please!!¨ his eyes turned red and puffy and he cried harshly thinking to himself about the film he watched when his father released the new twin and cried harder from fear. ¨Jonas...¨ the Giver said and placed his hand on Jonas`s shoulder.

¨Its for your best I suppose¨. Jonas lifted his head and looked at the Giver with sadness fear and anger. ¨for my best!?! Is it for my best really! I don't want to die this way this is absurd!!”. ¨perhaps I should give you two some time?¨ miss Agnes said as she walked to the white door closing it behind her as she walked out. The Giver sighed as he came up with a plan inside his head. ¨I suppose she's expecting to see you tomorrow so for now I can come up with an idea and we can get out of this it will just take time and work¨.

Jonas sat up on the edge of the bed and pulled the little child Gabriel into his arms as the child was squealing and giggling. ¨you said it yourself. She wants to see me tomorrow so we have to make a plan but...its takes time and time is something that¨ Jonas took in a heavy sigh. ¨time is something that we just don't have...¨ the Giver sighed as Jonas rocked Gabriel back and forth. ¨your right but it wont take that long..at least not

to my knowledge the plan is simple¨. Jonas looked at the Giver with curiosity. ¨tell me the plan please¨.

The Giver nodded and smiled. ¨I leave this community in- oh 10 minutes actually we can leave together she doesn't have to know your gone. I'll wait in the bathroom and i'll hold Gabriel if she ask where he is tell her I released him and threw him down the choot. She wants you tomorrow so tell her goodnight and lay down as if your going to sleep. Once she shuts the door and walks down the white hall and to her office we can leave but we have to past her office to go out.

I'll knock on her door since she leaves her blinds open i'll get her attention and you can take Gabriel out to the gate you entered in. when you past by ill come out after ending our conversation and we can leave. Understood?¨. Jonas shook his head and handed Gabriel to the Giver. ¨she should be coming down soon to check on you¨. Jonas smiled and heard a knock on the white door. He quickly pushed the Giver into the bathroom and Jonas fixed his pillow as he instructed miss Agnes to come in. ¨hello again Jonas¨. She gave a wild smile and stood besides the bed of memory. ¨tomorrow morning when you wake up you must see me at my office alright?¨.

She didn't know the plan and Jonas pretended he didn't know what released had ment. ¨of course miss Agnes¨. Jonas replied and laid on his side on the bed of memory. ¨see you tomorrow then. Goodbye¨. She walked out and

gave a twisted smirk as her back was shown to Jonas after she shut the white door. Jonas looked down the hall making sure she was out of sight. He walked to the bathroom door and pushed the metallic door open taking Gabriel from the Giver. ¨shes gone lets go¨
