Jones had become the receiver. the giver gives him training and tells him what memories were like, the giver tells him why were like giver tells him why were like.

He later learned so many trues that is community knows to be false that he gives all his memories away. He leaves his community to find a better life.

In Lois Lowry’s The Giver, Jonas, the protagonist and the only person who really evolves throughout the plot, experiences internal conflict because after learning about the past through the Giver, he wants to change the current world he lives in but is afraid of the consequences if he does so. The Giver focuses on Jonas and his journey towards freedom and becoming wiser.

In the book, The Giver, written by Lois Lowry, the protagonist Jonas realizes the truth of his utopian society after receiving the forbidden knowledge from the Giver, his mentor, and soon plans to run away after he finds out that everyone in the city is fully brainwashed by the government (the Elders) of the society.

The Giver, a young adult fiction novel written by Lois Lowry, tells a story about Jonas, a curious boy trapped in a futuristic society full of contentment, rules, and the elimination of emotions such as fear, hatred, etc. When he begins to see The Giver, an old man who holds all of the past memories of the community, Jonas realizes a dangerous past and becomes the first to begin on a journey to escape the community to protect his loved ones and himself. I feel that this book has a lot of depth and emotion that blends together with Lowry’s great literature, making it special. The book does have a few minor flaws, yet it doesn’t fail to impress as it makes readers think deeply about life and what you make out of it. Here are the reasons why I recommend this book.

All humans feel strong feelings whether it's caused by pain or love, this is something all humans should have in their life. In "The Giver" by Lois Lowry a boy named Jonas didn't experience these feelings as a child, he was controlled by his society like all the other citizens. When Jonas was elected to be receiver of memory, he learned all about what wasn't in his society from the giver, this changes Jonas and motivates him to make a change. From a calm, peaceful society, a worry free boy named was recruited to an assignment that brings him horrific pains and knowledge about how much is missing from his world. Before Jonas is recruited to be receiver he has happy, normal life in a society where everything is perfect.

Additionally, When Jonas wants to take action in his community and stand up for what he believes is right, he does what his heart told him, “The next morning, for the first time, Jonas did not take his pill. Something within him, something that had grown there through the memories, told him to throw the pill away” (Lowry 162). Jonas is the only one that truly grows in his

The Giver, a book by Lois Lowry that was published in 1993, was not like anything I had read before. The novel is set in the future, or maybe the past, it never really tells the reader when the book was set. The novel was focused on a young boy, twelve years old, named Jonas and an older man known as Giver and what Giver teaches Jonas about their society and everything that is kept from everybody else. The Giver shares information and feelings that nobody else knows or feels. A few examples of what Jonas’ society is keeping from everybody is: sadness, pain, worry, snow and sledding, rivers, sunshine, color.

“He killed it! My father kill it yelled Jonas!”(Lowry 188). This is just one surprise Jonas learns about in his community, when people are realest they are killed. In The Giver, there are many surprise/lies that Jonas discovers. Jonas is a twelve year old charter in the book The Giver by Lois Lowry. Jonas was chosen to be the next Receiver of Memory. The Receiver of Memory is a very significant individual who holds all the memories from the past. As Jonas receives the memories he begins to understand that his community is far from perfect. As the novel progresses, Jonas learns being true to oneself takes courage, and those who don't take risk never grow.

Jonas learns that the people don’t think for themselves and have their life planned out

The Giver by Lois Lowry is an outstanding book that I personally enjoyed a lot. It amazes me the difference between our society and Jonas’s .Jonas lives in a society that if any of us were there we would apply for release!

‘The Giver’ by Lois Lowry is about Jonas, a boy who lives in a community which is highly controlled by the Elders. The Elders have taken over and destroyed what it means to be human. The people in the community are killed for being different, they’re watched by elders and also have their emotions taken away. The Elders of the community brutally kill the citizens of the community by enforcing conformity and watching the people of the community at all times.

The Giver by Lois Lowry, shows us the importance of our emotions and freedom to our lives. The message is shown through Jonas’s journey and his perspectives. Jonas starts off as an obedient young boy that goes on to be a mature, wise young adult. He wonders whether war and pain are worth existing if it means love and joy can exist as well.

The giver, published in 1993 by Lois Lowry, tells the story of a young boy living in a very restricted community some time in the future. It explaind Jonas’ encounters in the past, a time in which freedom was a gift. Lowry centralizes the novel around a theme of memory and a reflection of the past. Memories are used as a source of wisdom and Lowry feels that they are meant to be shared.the setting of The Giver can be described as vague as most of the time the characters are revealing the distant past. The storyline takes place within a utopian society where the characters experience similar happenings as us, but under different circumstances.

“Jonas, I think it might be time to talk to the twins bout the old community”, proposed Fiona.
