a foot-operated lever used to control certain mechanisms, as automobiles, or to play or modify the sounds of certain musical instruments, as pianos, organs, or harps. 2. a leverlike part worked by the foot to supply power in various mechanisms, as the bicycle. 3. Music.
The Sled. The sled, the first memory Jonas receives from the Giver, symbolizes the journey Jonas takes during his training and the discoveries he makes. It is red, a color that symbolizes the new, vital world of feelings and ideas that Jonas discovers.
maybe the sled was left by someone there by purpose.. and the people were waiting for him maybe becasue the giver died so the memories went to this community or even Jonas memories... i dont know but it was a nice book. I think that you can see the giver with3 diferent endings... 1. Jonas dies 2. Jonas really finds a new community 3. Jonas is just dreaming so the author tries to make you see the ending with the perspective that you like... so its very interesting. I ,personally,think that is choice 2 because at the end it says that is not a dream it is real..
