Answer:
The author doesn't tell us what the real ending of the story is. It is possible that when Lowry wrote The Giver, she had a sequel in mind. Leaving the ending of this book ambiguous would encourage readers to purchase the sequel. You can read Gathering Blue and Messenger, which were written as companion books to The Giver and will give you more information.
Going on just what the book says, there are two conclusions you could reach.
First, Jonas and Gabriel die. The book makes it clear that they are slowly freezing to death. They are weak, hungry and tired. The book also says that Jonas uses his last little bit of strength to find the sled waiting for him at the top of the hill. They sled down the hill to "Elsewhere", perhaps an afterlife of some kind that follows death. This could be why Jonas heard music as he slowly slipped down the hill. In addition, the Giver was transmitting memories to Jonas before he died, giving the idea that if the Giver died before they were transmitted, they would be lost forever or else freed and allowed to enter the minds of the people. Jonas, now, being the new keeper of the memories, would release those memories when he died. This could be why he also heard singing behind him - as he slipped away, his friends and family received the memories he had carried and were freed from the austere existence they had experienced.
Second, Jonas and Gabriel find "Elsewhere", an unexplained real and literal place. This is supported by the fact that there is a sled waiting for them, apparently placed there by people who are hoping he will find it and use it. It would only stand to reason that if they placed it there for Jonas, they would be waiting for him at the bottom of the hill. This is confirmed near the end of the chapter when it says that he knew they were waiting for him and the baby. The book also supports this idea because he heard music and saw lights and warmth coming from Elsewhere, indicating that there is life and emotion there. There is also the possibility that his leaving freed the residents of his home town and enabled them to have memory, which is why he heard them singing behind him.
I would suggest that the author wanted you to come to your own conclusions, so she intentionally left it very ambiguous. Reading the two companion books mentioned above would help if you simply can't stand ambiguous endings (like me!).

Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I think your analysis is good, but since they are specifically asking you to analyze the formal aspects of each poem, I would add a few more things.
In Dickinson's "I dwell in Possibility," the use of capital letters does emphasize those words, but there are many other poetic devices that create meaning and affect the poem, such as metaphors ("A fairer House," which refers to poetry, for instance), a vivid imagery (it is impossible not to picture a house in your mind when you read this poem, beautiful, ample, with many windows, and the sky as its roof), and assonance (words such as "Prose" and "Doors" or "Eye" and "Sky" have resembling sounds), among others. These devices have been carefully chosen in order to convey a very praising description of poetry.
"Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night," by Dylan Thomas, is a call to resist death and fight for life with tenacity, and the use of specific formal elements contribute greatly to convey that message. Thomas uses repeatedly the verbs "rage" and "do" in their imperative form, in an attempt to convince his dying father to resist and to not accept death without fighting for his life first. He also uses various poetic devices, such as alliteration ("go, gentle, good"), simile ("Blind eyes could blaze like meteors"), oxymoron ("curse" and "bless" have opposing meanings, yet he places them together) and hyperbole (he is exaggerating his father's qualities when he says "Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight"), among others. In addition, throughout the poem there are many terms ("night," "dying of the light," "sad height") that speak symbolically, yet tactfully, of the unavoidable death.
