Answer:Before Jonas escapes to Elsewhere, he is supposed to have been given every memory of strength and courage that The Giver can give him. These memories prepare him and Gabriel for the journey by helping Jonas lower his body temperature to avoid the search planes, and providing nourishment when they have no food.
However, Jonas does use the memories he is given. Search planes are looking for them, and Jonas uses memories of snow to lower his body temperature and Gabe’s so the search planes cannot use heat sensors to find them. Jonas begins to worry because the more memories he gives Gabe and the farther he gets from the community, the fewer memories he has to sustain himself.
Jonas tries to use the memories to “recreate meals” when he cannot find food for himself and Gabe (p. 173). Jonas realizes he is starving. He has to make it to Elsewhere before what’s left of the memories is gone. Jonas regrets not having memories of courage.
