  • Ha, the war scene. Thats from a My Chemical Romance music video.

    It's called Ghost Of You. Look it up. It's a great music video, & song.^.^

  • SPOILER ALERT! I have read all the books from the series (The Giver-The Messenger). Jhonas is in fact alive in the third book. If you have also read Gathering Blue you would know what im talking about. In the third book Matt becomes Mattee in ''yonder village''. In the third book they also talk about An 8 year old named Gabriel. And guese who is their ''chiefe so to speake... Jonas!

  • lololol You used the Ghost of You vid by MCR?! Wow, i always thought of that sond while reading the Giver - nice video! :D

  • I can't believe you used the ghost of you. I had to read the book for school and I'd always think of that.

  • the war images were really powerful

  • weird how the giver has been removed from public libraries and school libraries by some arguments about the book because its said that people are frighted of this book. i think its a great book anyone who wants an amazing novel to read choose this one. i dont know but this book just made me feel what if this really happened? but still how can school districts be afraid of this book?

  • Nice video. The song you picked also kind of sums up the book.

  • i LOVED the book, but im confused. at the end, is the happy, loving family actually there, or is it just a memory?

  • @xXKatiebuggXx its actually there

  • no offense but this is blurry

  • So... "Gathering blue" and "the messenger" are like The Giver part II and part III??

    Cause I got confused at the end of The Giver and I want to know if there is more...

  • @PLUTICK its a lot differnt but in gathering blue they mention the boy on the sled aka jonas but that is about all

  • LOVE the book!!!

  • song ?

  • I love this book.

  • nice beard lol

  • this is shit

  • i got sad when Gabe was crying in the end of the book =[[[ made me super sad

  • I had to read this book for school. I liked it allot! I personally don't think the ending was a cliffhanger, I think it's a perfect ending.

  • @MrSkateholic we had to read this book for the fifth grade. and i thought it was going to be completely boring... no no no... its the best book ever! i love the ending too. liking how he escapes the last couple chapters.

  • @ohsuuupjess yeah it was good. the story continues though, I thinking one of the prodessors is like, catching blue, or collecting blue, or something like that.

  • @pattinsonhyperion I think u findd out where Jonas went in messenger.

  • Comment removed

  • 0:46 - 0:48 Lol wut?

  • its blurry

  • nice..i saw mcr! =P

  • Lowry leaves the ending open for the reader to interpret. There are 2 basic interpretations - 1 jonas and Gabe really do make it to "elsewhere" and find a warm loving family celebrating Christmas to welcome them. 2 - perhaps Jonas is remembering a Christmas memory - one of the most beautiful things the Giver ever gave him - as he had Gabe are freezing to death. There are 2 other books by Lowry that accompany The Giver. One is Gathering Blue, and the other is The Messenger.

  • @TeacherSayz also you know how before you die you go into a state of joy and happiness? well maybe jonas was about to die

  • @TeacherSayz If u actually read the rest of the series, you wouold know what really happens to Jonas and Gabe.

  • theres more books on the giver so we dont know i just finshed the book with m teacher

  • i think he died of starvation with gabe

  • He did not die of starvation. At the end of the book, it said that he was on top of a snowy hill, found a sled(Somehow) and rode down the hill, and saw a family celebrating Christmas or something.

  • @redjughead D: spoiled the ending.

  • @kylie123elric Well, bite me

  • @redjughead OM NOM NOM NOM

  • Wheres Gabe? :[

  • Jonas took gabe with him read the book

  • @TiaraMarie92 I already have I said that cuz they didnt have gabe in this and im reading "the sequal" to this give its called the gathering blue, its an opposite world of the giver

  • XBOX SONG LOL and good vid

  • did jonas die at the end?? my teacher said that he saw flashbacks and that he ended up diening with gabe but i have no idea what happend!

  • nah man he survived hes in the messenger gabe's like 8 and jonas is an adult

  • @airesangel77

    ya he's right although she never says that its him directly, but she drops hella hints that it is him

  • YUPP =]

  • in my opinion he died having happy memories, but other other people in my class inturpreed it as him finding a better place

  • he actually appears in the third book Lowy written

  • Yes I know ive read Gathering blue and the messenger now but i commented before i had read these . Jonas does live!!!!!!

  • @iTaKaYLuhh

    there is like 2 more books after "the giver"

    1. The Giver

    2. Gathering Blue

    3. The messenger..i think

    read the other books then it makes much more scense!!

  • i loved the book, except for the ending. i felt like it was such a build up, and she just left you hanging.

  • My gosh, this is awesome! Haha the song fits perfectly. The Dumbledore wannabe is my only complaint :P Fake beard? Niceeeeee

  • my gwd this book is weird in a hilarious way

  • ugh i hav to read this book fer language class!

  • I just read this book. Did you know that a place in India called Auraville is exactly like the community in the book. It's almost scary.

  • except i bet they all felt pain before lolz and they have memories of plenty of things and there is color hehe.

  • im reading this in class C: .. Stirrings !! lmao thaat part craked me up :D

  • lol me too!

  • i loved the book! i had to read it in a group in class! now i have to reanact a scene on tape! witch one should i reanact!!??? tell me! its due on: 10-26-09!!!!! ill put it on utube if you hurry and tell me an answer!!! hurry! help me!!!!!

  • I HATE THE ENDING!!!!

  • the story had a very sad ending, for the people who read it you know, for people who are reading it of will read it, its...

  • Excellent Video I really like the song

    I read the book yesterday in my opinion, they didn't die. They manage to escape from the community, there will be a movie on 2011. I will be anxious to see it. At first I didn't like the book but then it became interesting

  • yeah the story wasn't nice until the last 6 chapters

  • Read Messenger. It tells u what happened to jonas.

  • AHH! thats so cute! i just finished the book today.. i cried... That was awesome how he took gabey with him, but it be cool if fiona , is friend , came to..

  • jonas died guys...or he was imagining the first memeory the giver gave him bcuz the snow felt like the snow in the memory. there are a lot of different speculations about the book. i think he diied. but some people think he found elsewhere

  • Read "Gathering Blue" and then "Messenger." That'll clear it up.

  • the fuck is this?

  • It's a book, fucking read one

  • I read the book like 5 times but this trialer ruined it for me cus it sucked donkey dick

  • WTF dude that sucked so bad I almost killed myself.

  • you know what jerk , these kids worked hard on that and by god it was pretty darn good.

    you need to get a life and quit ruining others, get it buthole?

  • Good job, except for The Giver (the character). Was he a joke?

  • he dosent die

  • joanas does not

  • jonas dies at the end but there is a second one "gathering blue" and a third "the messenger which is about a boy with pale eyes

  • Yeah its Gabe,

  • he doesn't die, in gathering blue, there is a mention of "a boy with pale eyes and a two-syllable name" as Gabe isn't old enough (even in messenger) to have a two syllable name, this can't be him, so I think the "boy with pale eyes and a two-syllable name" is Jonas.

  • im reading this book to in 6th grade

  • u know i loved the booked exept the ending

  • i love the book! its an amazing story, i read it last year, sixth grade.i'm planning to see the movie!i heard it comes out in 2011?

  • You did a good job. It's nice to see people still giving attention to such a good book after all these years.

  • yo whats the song i really wanna know

  • The song is How to Save a Life, by the Fray.

  • the official movie comes out in 2011! yay

  • i can't wait cuz the book was very good and well written. dustin hoffman is supposed to be the giver

  • oooooo! he would be a good giver as long as they have him acting very serious.

  • That's a very good book! I love the book!

  • Hey few questions, One) Where is the movie?

    two) Is that a real movie trailer cuz it looked very very good

    and 3) If you read the book Contact me ay-sap! thnx

  • This is a really good book and the movie is really good to you guys have to watch it it is a really great movie but it is very sad in most of the movie some funny parts some but otherwise its a very good movie.

  • i thought it comes out in 2011???? ok im confused.

    :/

  • they mean the video was good, well i guess thats what they mean.

    i cant wait till it comes out!!!!

  • it does

  • in my opinion, this movie is the best, the song and clips are perfect

  • where can i find the movie?

  • in my opinion, this movie is the best, this song is perfect

  • the song fits the book perfectly

  • lol i would love to make a video about that book!

  • horrible quality

  • what assighnment does he get

  • he is the receveir of memories which causes him to runeaway and free the ppl in the comunitty

  • The Giver is one of my favorite books i have ever read.

  • @JKRand0mn3ss Me too :)

  • @JKRand0mn3ss same here they should totally make a movie about it

  • @MrN3AL agreed, but people are to focused on making regurgitated horrors about kids being chased around by psycotic maniacs lol same thing over again, different characters . . . .

    if only hollywood tried something different and worth while for once.

  • i love this song who is it by?

  • How to Save a Life by The Fray

  • its by the fray

  • @MC89Productions The Fray.  How to save a life.

  • The Fray-How to Save a Life

  • ROFL! the movie is supposedly being released on my birthday!

  • there's a real movie for the book?

  • its in pre production. its dated for release in 2011.

  • NO WAY

  • Sounds exciting, though I'm pretty sure the book would be far better than the movie, no matter how good, not even if Robert Pattenson was involved somehow.

  • good for 6th graders, really touching. And the song also was perfect

  • Yeah we did this in 6th grade

  • i love reading the giver its so cool its hard 2 understand though

  • same here mcdudester911

  • love the song./ who is it by?

  • its how to save a life by the fray

  • the book absolutly sucks

  • Yeah right!

  • you're obviously too stupid to understand it

  • i heard from my teacher that they were making it a movie and supposedly coming out at the end of 2009 ether the way it i can't wait for it to come out

  • i read the book its awesome

  • i sound so gay saying this but it almost made me cry when they killed the twin, and before the second book came out i thought Gabe died and Jonas to

  • there's a second omg i gotta buy that the first book was so good

  • there is accutally a third. its like this....

    the giver, i forgot the name of the second one, and then the messenger

  • cool i have to get these books the first one was so good lol

  • the 2nd book was called "Gathering Blue".

    In my opinion, it also is an extremely good book. I love how The Messenger ties them both together.

  • oh yeah i found out the name of the 2nd book its gathering blue. I cant wait to see if a movie comes out

  • cool thanks

    ye, but no one knows when it wil come out soem say 2010 my teacher said it woud be at the end of 2009

  • jonas is in messenger his name is leader

  • and gabrial is a little kid in messenger ,and kira is in another book called gathering blue and so is matty and seer but mattys name is just matt and seers real name is christopher

  • Haha. There was a part in there from one of MCR's video.

  • In "Messenger" it said "...the schoolteacher, gently tutored a mischievous eight-year-old named Gabe..." so he survived and also in the book it said that the Leader was telling Matty the very first thing he saw beyond, was an apple...now who was the person in "The Giver" who saw beyond and it was an apple..."Jonas"!

  • if you read the book the end is very dissatisfying.

  • I love the giver :)

  • does jonus live or die in the end

  • Lives.

  • nobody knows

  • HE LIVES he is leader in the messenger

  • Why isn't there a movie for the Giver? Even the crappiest books get movies these days. Oh, i know why..they would not be able to change it in a annoying love story like they always do for tv

  • they should really come out with a giver movie !!

  • They are in 2011

  • what is the name of the song

  • How to save a life - The fray

    Enjoy :)

  • i need to see if there is a real trailer!!!!!

  • There is no movie :p

  • lameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • Why the hell is a scene from MCR here?? (the war scene) Its from The "Ghost of You."

  • from when the giver was giving the memory of war when i was reading i was like O.o

  • i read it...my teacher wants us to create our own community in the class...with a flag, motto, and map of the community, we also had to create a goverment

    XD

  • lol my teacher did a ceremony and gave us assignments ... i'm an engineer XD

  • 2011 :D can't wait

  • pretty good ..

    is there a giver movie coming out any time soon .. ?

  • no offence but the brothers in arms games thing in there didnt make sense cause thiers no war

  • no, there's no war correct, but he got the memory of the war remember

  • The author answered when some 1 asked him he said that he thinks jonas makes it and hes upset of people who say that jonas dies...

  • The movie may come out in 3 years (but that's a rumor).

  • is there a real movie?

  • DUDE! The Ghost of You! :D I was thinkin' about that when I read it in class.

  • gay

  • i dun get teh ending of da book cause there really isnt 1

  • well i think the author left it for the readers own interpirtation...does he die....does he make it to a new community...

    but i think personally tht when he left the music was passed to the community and he was hearing them partying becasue sameness was gone now...but jonas wasnt sure so he percieved it as an echo...BUT remember echos hav to come from somewhere

  • this is an ok vid. the book is so sad. jonas runs away from the community and kinda dies, and the giver dies too because he hates the community.

  • BS! he makes it wit teh baby to a normal place unlike his shit town and the giver lives

  • how is the book sad? did someone die?? im only on chapter 5 with the............ stirrings... lol

    aint Gabe is Gathering Blue?

  • the book is sad at the end cuz the giver dies and its not really told whether jonas dies or not but its really good

  • The ending is not sad at all. The giver does not die he just doesn't run off with Jonas because without him the community would not make it. Jonas doesn't die either because he makes it to elsewhere with Jonas. It's actually pretty much a happy ending if you think about it. But you never know since Lois Lowry left it a cliffhanger with the music and all.

  • I mean he makes it to elsewhere with Gabe sorry

  • i know jonas doesnt die, i didnt think they would go on to read the other books

    i said it made his fate uncertain. and the giver tells jonas that the people who control the city thing are going to kill him. so it implies that he dies and i said it left jonas' fate uncertain. it never says whether theyre dead or not but again, i dont thin ktheyll go on to read the other books if theyre reading it for school
