The Ending of The Giver.

We currently finished reading The Giver. Although I hardly even read, I found this book a bit unique and interesting. It made me see the world differently. The fact that they had "Sameness" and what not all throughout the book, made it interesting to read. Towards the end, I am confused whether the died in the snow, or is Jonas dreaming? In my point of view, I think it depends on the reader. The ending is a bit ambiguous and allows the reader to make their own decision at the end of the book.
