Analysis
What started all this was the video of his dad killing the newborn child. After that ejection, Jonas realized that his community should be able to have the right to make a decision of what he needs to do. I think this changed his view because he felt sorry for the child and then knew, instantly that something needs to be done. Also, the giver helped him by supporting him and going along with the act, which made him successful. If Jonas was found escaping, he could have probably been spotted and arrested.
With Jonas gone, he still goes on and continuous to go on his quest. This shows Jonas is a real hero because even though he is tired and wimped out, he still strives to go up that hill and keep Gabe alive.
Evidence
pg. 50 paragraph 6
" He killed it! My father killed it!"
Pg. 162 paragraph 3
" The giver hugged him. I love you, Jonas"
Pg. 176 Paragraph 4
" His knees were unable to rise"
