We read the chapter where Jonas discovers the reality of what 'Release' actually is.
Students are reminded to finish the novel and consider that there are two ways to interpret the ending: one, that Jonas and Gabriel escape to Elsewhere; two, that Jonas and Gabriel actually die (that's right, die. Remember, Jonas loses consciousness, and he envisions those pleasant memories -- that can be a suggestion that those were his last memories before he dies). Although both interpretations are vastly different from one another, they are both correct.
