![]() The Giver by Lois Lowry is about this utopian society where they are exposed to certain events in life. There’s only one person, called the Giver, in the society where he knows everything. For example, he would know the worse event that happened in life to the best thing that could happen to you. The society has limited things they can see, hear, and touch. If they are exposed to anything that was not supposed to be obtained, they were to be punished in different ways. The Giver is the only one that knows about everything, affection, wars, color, and many other things that the community doesn’t know. Jonas, the main character, was chosen to be the next Giver, but no one is allowed to know that he has all these memories being transferred to him through the original Giver. Jonas would ask why the community doesn’t know any of these memories he is obtaining, and they should know. Later in the story, no one is allowed to leave the community, but Jonas wanted to. If he leaves the community, his memories will be released to the society and they would learn about the events that Jonas did. I chose this book because I wasn’t into the first book I was reading in class. This book was on my parent’s bookshelf. Overall, I thought it was a good book even though I felt like there should have been more. I would give it a 4.5/5 stars. Five stars being the best book. I gave it a 4.5 because I didn’t like the ending of the book and I thought that there should’ve been more to the ending. There’s also a movie to this book and it showed a different ending. All in all, I think this book was a great book. -RV, grade 12
