For example, if you want to have a spouse and children, you have to apply for it instead of getting to choose who you want to marry and have children yourself. But as the reader, you don’t really realize how different it is until you get into the story, and he describes the community he lives in. He’s only twelve, but the world he lives in is pretty extraordinary in that its completely different from what we are used to. What I find interesting about this book is the world you are introduced to through Jonas. However, since its been such a long time since I’ve read it, I feel like I can give a review of my thoughts on it due to how much time has passed since I last read it. This wasn’t my first time reading The Giver as I read this book back when I was in middle school. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time.
