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…
Reviews On “The Giver” By Lois Lowry
I thought The Giver was a great book!
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.

This is by far the best book I have read in years! Lois Lowry really emphasized what life would be like if you truly lived in a utopia. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes to read about what someone else's life is like in a different setting! Keep on writing Lois Lowry!!

Wow! I love this book in many different ways. The Giver was one of those books that you pick up and read for hours at a time. I am a big Lois Lowry fan and love her sense of writing. If any of my friends asked me what is the best book that I have ever read, it would be The Giver.

If you are at the store right now holding this book, you need to buy it. You will love the way Lois Lowry describes Jonas as he goes through his unique utopian life. This is the book of centuries. We at BDW Publishing found this book exquisite because of the realisticness of a real utopia. After our research, we found that 90% of things in Jonas’s Utopia turned out to be the same in other urban utopias. Good job Lois Lowry for making this book factually true and inspiring.
