The Giver

My favorite book is called the giver. It’s about a world where everything is null. There are no feelings, no pains, no colors, etc. you find out in the book that all of this was because of the government. Since you were born your whole life was planned out. All the families were the same; they consisted of a mom, a dad, a boy and a girl. The main character in this story is named Jonas. The story starts when he finds out that his destiny was to be “the receiver of memory”. A receiver of what? Of all the things in life they lacked for example Jonas learns what: love, sadness, to feel cold, to get burned with fire, he even learns to see colors. He sees the unfairness it was to keep these entire things away from the people, so he looks for ways to open their eyes and watch reality. What this society was “sameness” and they chose 1 person that would keep the memory of all those things so they wouldn’t get lost. The people in this world are okay with their life because they don’t know what they are missing off, and Jonas fronts the dilemma of: shall he do something about it or leave everyone as they are?
