A Symbol for The Giver

In The Giver, Gabriel is a baby that Jonas's father is nurturing at the Nurturing Center. Gabe is a slow developing baby at the Center, and his Jonas's father was given permission to take him home to care for him. Lily notices that he has the same color eyes as Jonas. Later on in the book, Jonas was selected to be the next Receiver of memory. He and the current Receiver both have light colored eyes. In the end of the book, Jonas gives memories to Gabe, and I think that the people with the light colored eyes were meant to be the Receivers of Memory.
