I think Jonas and Gabriel are dead because before you die, you start to hallucinate and start thinking about the things you want to see and in the book (page 178-180) Jonas saw The Giver\u2019s happiest memory and he heard singing, music and lights and it also said that \u201cperhaps it could have been an echo\u201d.<\/p>\n
Also Jonas found some berries and fed it to Gabriel and himself, and those berries could have been nightlok or some poisoness berry that they didn\u2019t know about.<\/p>\n
In the book Jonas fell off of his bike, scraped his knee, injured himself, and twisted his ankle, and after a little while he started to lose consciousness and he felt dizzy.<\/p>\n
A lot of people say that Jonas does have courage and that he wants to protect Gabriel, so he can\u2019t die, but just because he said that doesn\u2019t mean that he will stay alive, and anyways he has never been out of the community before so he doesn\u2019t know how to really take care of himself. The only thing he has are the memories The Giver gave him.<\/p>\n
I think that \u201celsewhere\u201d is heaven because it\u2019s a safe place and it does exist, and Jonas and The giver said that they do believe it exist, and \u201celsewhere\u201d is supposed to be a safe place that Jonas ad Gabriel could go to, also Gabriel\u2019s name means \u201cthe messenger of god\u201d or an \u201cangel\u201d so maybe Gabriel is trying to bring and show Jonas where elsewhere (heaven) is.<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s why I think that Jonas is dead, and in conclusion it basically means that their dead.<\/p>\n
