The Giver by: Lois Lowry
It’s one of my favorite books
I give it 4½ stars
The Giver is a book telling about an Utopian Society where people have to follow the rules or get released and is too much of a perfect world. The main character is a boy named Jonas which lives in sameness with a lot of other people. Soon he will be able to see a lot of colors. Jonas is starting to loose his best friends after he was told that he will be the new receiver.
In this book their world was nothing like ours. Their world has to be perfect or they will have starvation and all of the bad stuff again. Everyone has to follow all the rules, and there area lot of rules. No one can see colors and no one has a memory of what happened in the past. They are in a time called sameness. Sameness is that they can’t even see color only something like black and white.
If there are twins they need to release one and give the other one to the nurturers. Also they release the old when they have had a long good life. Sameness has been going on for a very long time. Jonas, being a receiver, is in pain when he sees his friends and younger kids playing a game of war. Jonas doesn’t want to be the receiver anymore.
I love this book because it is talking about adventure. This book kept me going on toward the end.
My final view about the book is that I would not like to go to sameness and be with these people. I would kill myself if it went like that. Also I would go mad if the colors went away.
