The Giver By Lois Lowry
Part 3, Summary, The Giver Assignment #3
The Giver, By Lois Lowry is a great story about utopias and sameness. Jonas lives in a utopia and does the same tasks as everyone else in his community. This is until they turn 12 and get their jobs/assignments. There are fish hatchery workers, nurturers, birthmothers, road cleaners, and food preparers. In a utopia, you don’t get paid in money. There is no currency whatsoever. If you fail to do your jobs or tasks, you get released from the community to elsewhere. When you get of age, you can apply for a wife or husband and get a dwelling (house). You can also apply for two children, one male and one female. In your family unit you would live in your dwelling until you are a senior and go to the House Of The Old. Jonas finally gets to the age of twelve and goes to the Ceremony of the Assignments. Jonas is nervous that the committee of assignment choosers will not choose the best job for him. When he is on the stage, they skip over his number. Jonas gets nervous but they call him at the very end of the assignment choosing. Jonas has received a special assignment that only one person is assigned to in a lifetime. Jonas’s assignment is The Receiver Of Memory. Find out what happens as Jonas undertakes this special job in “The Giver”. …show more content…
I really liked how you could picture the imagery in your head and compare it to real life. Normally, book have the spots that are so boring you should just read over it but The Giver did not have any of these flaws.
