giver

he was in aroom filled with people, and it was warm, with a firelight glowing in the hearth. he could see through a window that it was night, and snowing. there were colored lights: red and green and yellow, twinkling from a tree that was, oddly, inside the room. As the holiday memory, Giver's favorite, continued, jonas saw the family gather, open presents, laugh, cook, and felt the warmth, happiness and... he could't name it... love, Giver told him. it was a new concept for him, and he liked it. that night he asked his parents if they loved him, they laughed and said "love" was meaningless, not percise, generalized, obsolite, and Jonas didn't like it one bit.
He and Giver made a plan to change things. Jonas would run away and give the memories bit by bit to the community.things were perfectly set up, but there was a slight change in plans. Gabe, the newchild jonas' family took care of, was going to be released.
jonas left by night on his dad's bike with Gabe strapped in the back he left and pedaled for days, sleeping by day and biking by night. he knew that something else was out there and was determind to get there. But does he? READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!
