The Giver has thought that there is nothing he can do to change the community for a long time but he might have been inspired by Jonas and changed his mind. Finally the Giver and Jonas made a seemingly perfect plan. It is to help Jonas escape from the community and go to Elsewhere, and the memories which the Giver has transmitted to Jonas would go into the people of the community. Then, the Giver would help people with all the memories in confusion and panic as he did it for Jonas. The D-day is the day for the Twelve Ceremony when no one would notice Jonas's absence. Meanwhile, the Giver confided that Rosemary is her daughter.
It indeed seemed impossible for the Giver to try something to correct the wrongly controlled community but dramatically he decided to make a plan with Jonas. Jonas risks his life for this plan. It's very dangerous one because if he is detected during escape, he will be released! However, one thing weighs on my mind. It is one phrase; Elsewhere they were both sure existed. They believed Elsewhere exists? oh.. my.... It may imply the possibility that Jonas's escape would be done with the failure to find the Elsewhere and he would realize there exists no another different world such as Elsewhere. How hopeless the situation would be!
I hope this story has a happy ending.
one more thing. the Giver mentioned he would like to be with his daughter after he finishes his work and his daughter is Rosemary who was released already. then, what on earth does this mean?!!!! Is he going to request a release? :O
