Basically, having Jonas around has convinced the Giver
that change is possible. Jonas has made him think change is possible and has given him
an idea as to how to bring it about.
About 3 or 4 pages
into Chapter 20, the Giver tells Jonas that he has come to believe that change is
possible. He has thought for years that things should change, but it is only since he's
worked with Jonas that he has thought it is possible and indeed
necessary.
He has gotten this idea by listening to Jonas's
ideas about feelings and things like that. They have made him realize the community is
really missing something. Then, when Jonas talks about what might happen if he (Jonas)
died, the Giver started to think about the possibilities of how losing Jonas would
change the community.
