Reading Level- 8.3
Points- 7
The Giver is a book that is based in the future. In the story, it talks about how a certain community lives and functions together. However, this community is a little different. People that live in the community, don't have much of a choice on how to live their lives. Every year people get assinged different jobs that they have to full-fill for that year. That's were Jonas comes in. Jonas is a 13 year old boy who gets assinged the job of being a "Reciever." The Reciever is known to be the most honorable position to be assigned in the whole community. Being a Reciever, Jonas is qualified to recieve memories from The Giver. These memories include everyday things that Jonas doesn't have in his community. Pain. Love. Color. Once Jonas realizes that these things still exist, he then sets out on a journey to find the things that he has been missing for so long.
I reccomend this book for some one who wants to read something different. The Giver is an interesting book and Lois Lowry is a really good author.
