How did Jonas help Gabriel fall asleep? Jonas gives Gabriel a memory to help him feel more at ease in the film. Gabriel falls asleep after the Giver transmits a memory of a sailboat in the bay. He also uses his memory-transmission abilities to help Gabriel evade heat-seeking devices. Despite the difficulties of his new situation, Jonas manages to make Gabriel feel more comfortable, resulting in a peaceful night of sleep.
Jonas and The Giver had planned the Ceremony the previous night, but Jonas was concerned because his father had informed him that Gabriel had not slept at Nurturing Centre and that the Nurturers had voted for his release. Jonas changes his mind and decides to fix the problem. He and Gabriel sleep in secret in a cave during the day, and Jonas stays away from the community to keep him safe.
Jonas informs his parents that Gabriel is sleeping through the night and that his daughter is doing well. Jonas’ father worries that Gabriel will be released earlier than him and fears that he will be the one to be taken. However, he is sure that if the two of them are identical, Gabriel will probably be released first. Jonas wonders what will happen to those children when they are released from the Nurturing Center.
Jonas’ vision allows him to recognize colors. While this new vision allows him to understand the different colors in his surroundings, Jonas has trouble understanding the lack of color choices in his community. Jonas is an outsider who can challenge traditional ways because there isn’t much choice. He then shares with Gabriel a memory of sailing along a lake and helps him to fall asleep. Jonas is the next Receiver of Memory in the community.
After being reunited with his family, Jonas begins to understand his past. When he can see colors, he begins to understand what happened to him. Jonas begins to see the truth and tries to pass on his experiences to others in the community. However, his past experiences are too painful to share with his family. Jonas would like Gabriel to spend the night with him.
Jonas is a well-behaved Eleven eagerly awaiting the Ceremony of Twelve. He is not drawn to any particular field and is a Recipient of Memories. His sister, Lily, is a Seven. She likes working with the Newchildren and works with them. Jonas will be a great help if she is a good student.
While Gabriel has been sleeping well in Jonas’ room, the story takes a different turn. As Gabriel grows up, he is now ready to be adopted. Jonas sees adoption as a better option for Gabriel. He decides to give up the morning pill that he began taking at his first Stirring. Gabriel can’t seem to fall asleep until Jonas and he are away from the community.
