  3. Joans experiece starvation some thing he was never was exposed to before.The pain of his agonizingly unbearable swollen leg was hard to work with.With the rain he was wet he was likely to catch a cold or get the flu.Not only that he had gabe with him he had to look out for him as well it woud be hard to do with all of the treacherous terrain ahead. He had to use a bike to go up hill a very hard almost imposible to do.That was not it however as he was going up hill it stared to snow as if wasn't hard enough.

    The weather went from sunny nice and warm.To rain cold and not a good time to be out on a bike.Then it was snowing a nice yet it was to much.This effected him because the sun was arelaxing calm feeling. the rain made him wet cloud he was frezing like he was in ice,The snow made it almost impossable to move along the hill he trudged along the path ahead.

    Joans even though he could not see it he knew that he was going in the right place.A place where color existed and peole determind their own life.He could see a place more efficient than his community.He even heard music from ahead and form the place he left behind him.He knew that this place watied for him and the and the baby.

    Gabe might have been release from the community.sense he could not sleep a night with out Joans.as result the memories that Joans had been secretly transfering to him.Then the Giver might have been the one to blam.Joans then in return would have had tell the truth that it was him who gave him the memories.shocking as it might be he would be releasesed.

  4. 1. Joans encountered starvation, he had never had that before.The pain of his swollen leg was hard to ride his bike because he was pushing himself and gabriel. He also encountered freezing and raining, him and gabriel being wet and cold and he has to make sure gabriel doesn't die so he wraps the both of them up in a blanket and tried to get warm .

    2. The weather conditions that impede Jonas' progress toward Elsewhere was rain, wind and, snow .

    3. Jonas and Gabe finally got to safety by getting on top of the hill and riding a sled all the way down the hill toward a place with bright lights and music and he knew it was music because he remembered what the giver was talking about and he knew there were people at the bottom of the hill where the bright light were and the music was waiting for them .

    4.If gabe would have stood in the community he would have been released by jonas's father. He would have been released because he would cry all night and no one would be able to go to sleep because jonas wasn't there and they would have know choice.

  5. 1:He has to look out for guards from the community looking for him and he also has to keep himself and Gabe safe.There are also wild animals and not alot of food so he is in danger of dying or Gabe dying.

    2:The weather conditions that impeded Jonas' progress toward Elsewhere are snow and rain.

    3:Jonas remembers his friends and family and the Giver, and the happiness their memories give him helps him to reach the top. He recognizes the snow covered summit of the hill, and somehow finds a sled waiting for him there. He gets in the sled and steers himself and Gabe to the bottom, toward warm, twinkling lights that glow from the windows of houses in my opinion.

    4:He would of get released which means he would of died.

  11. 1.Dangers that Jonas encounters in Chapter 22 is lack of food, his cut on his leg when he fell down, the weather was getting worse it was cold and raining when they got far up the forest and hills. Also especially the safety of Gabriel was in big danger too because he was only a baby and Jonas' thought he wasn't going to make it.

    2.The weather conditions that impede Jonas' progress toward Elsewhere is the frezzing cold wind, rain, snow that he never saw before in his life.

    3.Gabe and Jonas' got to safety when he goes up a hill with little Gabe. When they both got to the top Jonas' saw lights down the hill. Then he rilizes there was a sled on top of the hill he went on it and sled down the hill an smooth straight line. He knew they were waiting for him and the baby down this hill and he knew that he was fanally in a place that he could call home. When they got to the bottom they saw lights, people singing, and familys too.

    4.If Gabe had stayed in the community he will be killed because realease ment death not sending to another community. Thats the reason Jonas' took gabe with him so he won't get killed in the community by Jonas' father. When Jonas' over heard his father talking about realeasing Gabe.

  12. 1) The dangers that Jonas encounter is hyperthermia,and starved also weakened.In addition Gabe life is in danger because the weather is cold and snow the is the most danger part of the escape with gabe.
    2) The weather conditions that Jonas' progress toward Elsewhere is the smow and cold it gust add up so basically impossible forJonas to go elsewhere with gabe.
    3)Jonas and Gabe finally get to safety when Jonas and gabe see the colors red, yellow, and blue lights also he tees,people playing and haveing fun.
    4)If Gabe stayed in community he probably would have been killed because he was going to get release because his father apply for it.
