Outside Reading Post 22

For today's blog post, I will comment on the ending of the book, "The Giver". Personally, I didn't like the ending of the book. In my opinion, it was total bs ! The book didn't even end properly. It left the reader guessing about what happened to Jonas, the main character, and Gabe, another protagonist. I really hate open ended endings, they aren't very fun. On the other hand, I did enjoy the vivid imagery presented within the last chapter. From the reading, "I put every last image of warmth into his body, hoping that it would keep us through the blizzard." In this scene, Jonas has abandoned his community, and he is on a search for a new home; he and Gabe encounter a snow storm, and it's the last difficulty until they both finally find a home with a family in it. And that's where it ends, how lame right ? Utter fail, but I still recommend you all to read it !
