Throughout Jonas's training as Receiver of Memory, he realizes that he values personal freedom to make decisions, appreciates situations in life that cause happiness and joy, and gradually becomes jaded with his mundane community, which is focused on safety and conformity.
After learning the truth behind the term "release," Jonas and the Giver devise a plan to change the community for the better. Unfortunately, Jonas is forced to dismiss the plan in order to save Gabriel's life. Jonas makes the difficult decision to escape from the community with Gabe and travel to Elsewhere while simultaneously avoiding the community's search planes. Jonas's decision to flee the community reveals his courage, determination, and selfless nature. Jonas chooses to do the right thing and make the independent decision to leave his family and community behind in order to change his life's trajectory and save Gabriel. The reader learns from Jonas's actions that he is a courageous, independent, confident individual who is willing to take risks to better his life and stand up for what is right.
