Description
As Jonas grows more aware of the sacrifices made for the sake of uniformity and control, he faces a heart-wrenching choice: to conform to the safe, sheltered existence or to embrace the uncertainties that come with true freedom. This poignant narrative explores themes of individuality, the importance of memories, and the stark contrasts between a superficial existence and a life filled with genuine experiences. Jonas's journey serves as a thought-provoking reminder of the value of human emotion and the weight that memories carry in shaping one’s identity.

Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear of pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the community. Jonas lives in a seemingly ideal world. When Jonas turns 12 he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver does Jonas begin to understand the dark secrets behind this fragile community. Now, it is time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.
It was a quick ad easy read for me.I really like it.Maybe because It was easy to read for me,But at the same time I enjoyed reading it as well.It is about a boy called Jonas who lives in a community where everything is the same.He doesn't know anything about other life styles except the one he knows.Until Giver makes his eyes open to a new way of life.This book makes me think that we have lots of things,even very simple things in our lives,but since we got used to them,we don't know how important they are, or simply we don't enjoy them. Things such as love,friendship,every kind of feeling,ability to decide for yourself,nature,different colors,even to be different is very wonderful sometimes!
