The Giver by Lois Lowry tells the story of a boy named Jonas. Jonas, the narrator, begins by telling the reader the extremely strict and structured society of the community in which he lives. ...
This is the year that Jonas turns 12 and gets his job assignment. ... When it should be Jonas’ turn to be told what his assignment is his name is skipped. ... After all the children in his age group have gone it is revealed that Jonas was not “chosen” for a specific job. ...
With Jonas’ special selection he receives a packet that he notices to be not quite as thick as the rest of his age group. ...
Jonas has been selected to be the new Receiver because he is unique and has the gift that it requires. ... Jonas however is stronger and more able to bear the pain. He does well in his training as the current Receiver, aka the Giver, gives Jonas the memories that he has. ...
Jonas decides that it would be ultimately better for the people in the community if they could see what he sees and feel what he feels. ... Jonas will secretly leave the community and the hope is that his memories will linger behind for the people to gather and learn from.
