The Giver Ch. 4 in a flash

Jonas spends his volunteer hours at the House of the Old, where he helps bathe an elderly woman named Larissa.

During their conversation, Larissa tells him about the recent “release” of an old man named Roberto, describing it as a joyful ceremony celebrating his life. Jonas learns more about how the community honors the elderly before their release, though the exact details of what happens afterward remain unclear.
