Jonas at the End of the Novel--I will let you know when to do this.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas at the end of the story has become brave, he had courage and enough braveness to take Gabriel with him so he didn't get released. Every step of the journey was long and hard but he pushed himself to make it to his destination.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas received the memory of war where he saw a wounded boy on the floor asking for water in a croaking whisper, the boys uniform wet, with fresh blood on his uniform.
I chose this memory because  Jonas felt unhappy when he saw all of his friends playing war it made him so sad almost to the point of crying, but Jonas knew nobody would understand what he was going through because he knew more than they did, so they didn't know why he was crying.

Man vs Self
Jonas on (chapter 16 pg 153) didn't want to go back to the annex room, he didn't want the memories, didn't want the honor, didn't want the wisdom, didn't want the pain. He wanted his childhood back, he wanted to discuss his job like everybody else did, but he couldn't.

The climax of The Giver is when Jonas sees his father release a twin baby, after that he couldn't live in the the Community anymore knowing what release was. So The Giver and Jonas decide that Jonas was going to escape.
"Bye bye little guy", was the quote that I chose because I feel was when Jonas really realized that release meant the killing of people.

# data[].attributes.body
The problem was resolved by Jonas escaping The Community and all the memories getting released back into The Community which meant everyone in the Community had all the memories.
The song that I chose (The Great Escape) connects to The Giver because Jonas was finally free from the Community and this song says ¨We won't hear a word they say They don't know us anyway. Cause we are finally free tonight¨. These are the lyrics that connects this song with the Giver.
