The Giver Theme and textual Evidence

Theme-To find love you must go through hardships
Textual Evidence- pg-172“Jonas carefully washed his injured knees ,wincing as he rubbed at the raw flesh.The constant ache of his swollen ankle was eased when he soaked it occasionally in the cold water that rushed through the roadside gullies.He was newly aware that Gabriel's safety depended entirely upon his own continued strength.” Pg-177 “Jonas tried a second time .His consciousness grasped at a whip of another warm memory,and tried desperately to hold it there enlarge it and pass it into Gabriel.” Pg-179 “Jonas felt himself losing consciousness and with his whole being willed himself to stay upright atop the sled,clutching Gabriel.” These are keys that Jonas is showing love for Gabe and going the hardships.pg-174 "He wept because he was afraid now that he could not save Gabriel." Pg-175"Standing in Freezing mound that was thickening around his numb feet,Jonas opened his own tunic,held Gabriel to his bare chest,and tied the torn and dirty blanket around them both."
