Jonas is a 12-year-old boy, although, he is not like you or me. His "community" takes place in the future. In Jonas' community no one can see colors, hear music, or make choices. Everything is peaceful. No one is hungry or sick, or even different. There is only one person in the community who knows how the community came to be. This is The Giver, and young Jonas has been selected to become the next Giver. Soon Jonas and The Giver are the only ones who know about animals, hills, emotions, wars, Christmas, and sled rides in the snow. They are the only ones who know what happens when you are released.This book is an awkward and often difficult read if you like to read for enjoyment. Lois Lowry's The Giver, however, takes a unique look at the mind of an adolescent put into an adult unique story of mind games and adventure, memories, and fear. Jonas experiences all of these things for the first time and you as the reader get to see what that feels like. As with many tales of future utopias, Jonas's once perfect world becomes a nightmare. Can The Giver help his community understand who they really are? Can Jonas find peace in a place called Elsewhere? Find out in Lois Lowry's The Giver.
Book Review: A Good Piece Of Literature
Summary: 3 Stars
The Giver is a good piece of literature because it's full of adventure and action. It also has lots of description and it shares an important message. This book is full of adventure and action because in this story, Jonas runs away from home and it keeps you wondering if something is going to happen to him. Also, this book has lots of description. The author describes the scenes so well that I could easily "draw a picture" in my head of what she (the author) is describing. Last, it shares an important message because it tells you that diversity, independence, and freedom is what makes life interesting and exciting. It's also makes life worth living because without freedom, diversity, and independence, life is boring and it's not worth living. The Giver makes you think, "What if there wasn't any diversity, freedom, or independence, how would life be?" So, The Giver is good literature because it's full of adventure and action, it has lots of description, and it shares an important message to everyone who reads this book.Book Review: A Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
The Giver by Lois Lowry, was and is an excellent book. I have since read it twice and about to begin my third time around and everytime it gets better. This book is enlighting, and makes a person really think about everyday things that society takes for granted. What if all people couldn't see color? What if you couldn't choose your own spouse, or job? If everything was choosen for you, life would be boring, and almost not worth living. This book is an eye opener. It really makes you think. I believe that every person out there should read this book and not just to say that you read it, but to say that you learned from it.Mary Gere Newport, NH
