Chapters 1-7 have already given us so much information about the Giver, yet not enough at the same time. My previous predictions have changed a lot since the Ceremony of Twelves. The book described the Ceremony of Twelves and how the Elevens would be given their Assignments. From that information I predicted that something would change in the Ceremony of Twelves in a negative way. The people in the community would try to fight back and rebel, they would be breaking rules that used to be so strictly followed. Everything would be seen from Jonas's point of view and how the rebellion affects his family. There is something special about Gabriel, and I assumed that maybe he is the Giver. He may have some kind of power to end the rebellion. As for the old man on the cover of the book, he may be the leader of all the communities, the one that controls everything. My predictions are now completely altered now that I have read chapter 7. The Ceremony of Twelves went fine, nothing changed except for one plot turner. Jonas had not been given an assignment. Now I am led to believe that Jonas may be the Giver. He is there to save the communities from some future danger and this is his assignment. But, the assignment is top secret which was why he wasn't called at the Ceremony of Twelves.
