The Giver shares his favorite memory......it includes family, love, grandparents, warmth, happiness. It is Christmas!
Jonas goes home and asks his parents. "Do you love me?" They laugh and tell him that "love is a very generalized word, so meaningless that it has become obsolete." Jonas lied and said that he understood why the word was inappropriate, even though he had never felt anything so meaningful.
The December ceremony is now 2 months away. Gabe has been doing well in Jonas' room. He will be given to a family at the next ceremony. Jonas tells Gabe....Things could be different, and there could be "love." Jonas throws away his pill!
