Lois Lowry’s young adult classic The Giver has been a staple of classrooms across the country since its release in 1993. While a dystopian setting is commonplace in modern young adult fiction, Lowry’s work came years earlier. The focus of The Giver, however, is not so much on the mysterious, flawed society as much as it is the growth of the main character, Jonas. The novel follows Jonas as he goes from a naïve child concerned with what job his is going to get and how he is going to stay in touch with his friends, to a mature young man with knowledge deeper than any of his peers. He becomes more complex as he begins his work as the Receiver and receives memories the leaders of his society have deemed unnecessary for all to know. On several occasions in the text, Jonas receives life-changing revelations about the world as it once was and as it actually is in his community.

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.

In the book, The Giver, by Lois Lowry, Jonas, the main character is being trained by The Giver, who holds the memories and he gives Jonas them and Jonas want to share them with his family now.

The Giver, written by Lois Lowry, follows a boy named Jonas as he lives life with his family and friends in a futuristic society where everyone has nothing but love for each other. There are many strict rules that if broken you are ‘released’ which is considered a great dishonor unless you are being released from the House of the Old. One of the biggest factors that progresses this book is the lack of choice citizens have; at the age of 12, they are assigned a career that they must endure for the rest of their lives, they must apply for a spouse of their choice or be assigned one from the government. Children are birthed by Birthmothers, who never see their children and can only be used for one year.

How would you feel if you lived in a world where there is no hatred, war, and you can't make choices? Jonas, an eleven-year-old boy living in a world that has eliminated all pain, fear, war, and hatred. There is no violence , since everyone looks and acts basically the same, and there is very little competition. Everyone is unfailingly polite. The society has also removed choice: at the age of twelve every member of the community is given a job founded on his or her abilities and interests. In the community, release is death, but it is never described that way; most people think that after release, flawed new children and joyful elderly people are welcomed into the vast expanse of Elsewhere that surrounds the communities.
