Summary: The Giver is a story of a utopia, where everything and everyone has its place. They are told what they are supposed to do, when they are supposed to do it, and how they are supposed to feel. Each person is assigned a job at th
e age of 12, later on in life they can apply for a companion, and following that they can apply for a child, in which they get one boy and one girl. Jonas is one of these people who has always been told what happens and does not know any different. He has parents who were assigned to each other, and a younger sister that was given to them. At the age of 12 Jonas is assigned the job of the giver. They
tell him it is the most honorable job to have, but he does not even know
what
it is. This story takes you on his journey of becoming the giver of this utopia and the problems and blessings that come with it such as seeing the color red,
something we take for granted every day.
Personal Review: A book i would highly recommend. It really made me think and kept me
guessing. It made me very thankful for this world i live in and the free agency i have been blessed with to make my own decisions.
