The+Giver

__ The Giver  __ By Lois Lowry In __The Giver__ a kid named Jonas becomes the Receiver of Memory. The Receiver of Memory is someone who receives the memories of pain, color, fun, sunlight, and many other things from a person called the Giver. The Giver is a person who had all of the memories and gives them to Jonas. They have none of the stuff above. This book is fantastic and I think everyone should read it The setting of this story is in black and white, which you will like. The clothes they wear are the same we wear. In school they wear collared shirts. After school they don’t change, so they always wear collared shirts. The characters in this story are very well developed. Jonas is the main character who is developed the best. Jonas becomes the Receiver of Memories someone who receives memories of things they don’t have. Fiona is another main character who is a good friend of Jonas. Gabe is a baby who runs away with Jonas when Jonas runs away from town with all of the memories. The Giver is the person who gave Jonas all of the memories. When the Receiver of Memories has all of the memories leaves the town or dies, all of the memories go to the people which is bad because they have never experienced such pain. The theme of this story is a kid named Jonas becomes the Receiver of Memory. All of the interesting things in this story either lead up to the part where Jonas becomes the Receiver of Memories, or after he becomes the Receiver of Memories. The plot of this story has many interesting rising actions such as when the apple changed, Fiona’s hair changed, when the books on the Giver’s top shelf changed, and when the Giver gave the explanation which was: Jonas was seeing red. The climax is when Jonas leaves with Gabe. The problem is Jonas wants the people to see the good memories. The resolution is Jonas runs away, giving the people the memories. As you can see, this book is fantastic and I think everyone should read it. (Reveiwed by Walter Wilson)
