The first conflict Jonas has is that he is chosen as
Receiver of Memory. The complication is that he is not sure he is up to the job, and
doesn’t understand that he is special. He learns that he is beginning to see color, and
others would not be able to.
Jonas’s most important
conflict is how to save Gabriel’s life. The complication is that if he does not find a
way to get both of them out of the community safely, they will both be
killed.
When Jonas finds out that Gabriel is going to be
Released, he knows he has to find a way to save him. He has found out that Release is
death by lethal injection. He knows that their absence will be noted, and they will be
searched for with planes carrying heat sensors. They decide to plan their escape during
Ceremony day, and use memories of cold to lower their body temperatures so the planes
don’t spot them.
