Towards the end of The Giver, Jonas has received many memories and learned many truths about the community in which he has grown up. He has become very attached to the baby, Gabriel, who has been staying with Jonas' family until he gets bigger and stronger. During his time with the Giver, Jonas learned that when someone in the community is released, he or she is actually euthanized. Jonas cannot believe that people he loves have been responsible for this. The reason that Jonas decides to leave early is because he discovers that Gabriel has not made enough progress and is scheduled to be released. Jonas knows that even though he has not received all of the memories he had hoped to, especially memories about bravery and courage, he must leave the society in order to save Gabriel's life.
