Freedom

Jonas is now starting to realize how bad and controlled his society is. The Giver is sharing many memories to Jonas, which he is starting to analyze and getting wiser of them. He knows what the committee is doing and he thinks that's bad, he wants to change it. They are controlling the teachings each person learns even is school, they give pills for not filing love and they, they are taking away family and they are hiding the memories people should remember. He wants to share his memories with anyone but he finds out that the only one who receives his memories is Gabriel, the baby. Jonas is afraid that someone finds out he is giving memories to Gabriel but that's the only person he can share his thoughts and feelings.

Jonas has the capacity to change things and he is intelligent enough to see how controlling the committee is with them. "The next morning, for the first time, Jonas did not take his pill. Something within him, something that had grown there through the memories, told him to throw the pill away." Maybe the thing that has grown inside of him trough memories is wisdom. The knowledge he has adquire was telling him that taking the pills was bad for him. Jonas doesn't want to be controlled any more, he is the one who is setting the good example. Finally, someone is going to change. A simple thing as a pill may be the start of change.

Dystopia is the idea, someone generates, of a perfect world which is not. Jonas' world is controlled by the Committee of Elders, which are going to do anything therefore their world and their rules are not changed. The first person to realize that the Committee of Elders is wrong is Jonas. Finally, he is going to do something to change the world.
