Amber Ordoway had known for quite a while that she wasn’t attracted to guys‚ but she hadn’t told anyone.

The Giver‚ by Lois Lowry‚ is a fiction story about a boy named Jonas who is given quite an interesting job. He is assigned to be a receiver of memory. He lives in a community that treats its people unfairly because they have no decisions‚ no feelings‚ and no color.

In the movie she started off as more of a docile person‚ but by the end she was a lot more asserting. Fiona’s development starts when she decides to stop taking the injections. This is a big leap because everyone in the community
