Review of the Giver
Receiver and the Giver
The Giver by Lois Lawry is about a boy named Jonas. There is no war, fear, pain, or feeling in Jonas’ world. Nothing is special in Jonas’ life. However, after a ceremony everything changes. Jonas is selected as a Receiver and meets the Giver every day for his Receiver training. Jonas’ Receiver training from the Giver changes the way Jonas looks at his community.
Jonas’ world is perfect, but at a ceremony, everything changes for Jonas. There is a ceremony every December. On the ceremony, the community assigns a job to every person who turns twelve. At first, Jonas is so worried but he doesn’t know why. Then during the “Evening telling of feeling” when each family member tells about their feelings of the day, Jonas finds out that he is nervous about the ceremony. Jonas has no idea about what his job will be. At last, Jonas goes to the ceremony. The Chief Elder calls everyone’s name. However, she does not call Jonas’ name. Jonas feels very ashamed and he thinks there is something wrong. Finally, the Chief Elder calls Jonas’ name at the end of the ceremony to announce his new role – the Receiver.
Jonas meets an old man named the Giver every day because they select Jonas as a Receiver. First, the Giver gives Jonas the memories of snow, happiness, and colors.
