if you had to give the book "the giver" a new ending what would you make happen instead of what really did happen?

that he and the baby make it to the house who welcome them in and they are opened up to a whole new "real" world, and the townspeople get all their own memories back and have to feel for the first time in a long time. The reciever will pass away in his sleep and feel no pain in a long time.

I wouldn't change it because it lets you finish the story on your own. If I had to change the ending, I would give a more vivid description on how they tried to get food from the agricultural fields.
Sometimes I wonder that maybe we are like that community in a way. We have color and music, what if, in some unknown planet, they don't have colors. Or maybe, they have colors that sing to them?
I don't believe that we can be the only people in this universe, I mean, it streches on FOREVER! Why are we so lucky? Why do we get to live on this planet that somehow is the ONLY one in the hundreds of thousands that has water, food, and breathable air?Why, Why WHY?!
It's very mind-boggling and confusing. Oh well, I guess we'll never really know. At least not before this generation is LONG GONE.

There is are two other books that go along with the Giver. Gathering Blue and Messenger. It tells what happens to Jonas and Gabe.

Personally, (I'm a fan of tragedy, so this might be a little sad), the ambiguous ending means one of two things: that either he dies, remember the Christmas memory, or finds Christmas himself. However, if we are to truly get the full impact of this novel, and how the absence of memory gives no difference, no originality to a person--that our experiences shape and define us--we should show that this society, that causes Jonas's banishment, eventually ends his life. That this dystopia is indeed, in its perfection, one of the worst societies ever created.
Of course, that's just my opinion.
