Title: The Giver
Author: Lois Lowry

Introduction: The Giver is a science fiction story about a boy who must choose between his pain-free life and a more colorful one.

Characters:
  • Jonas - eleven year old boy
  • The Giver - old man who transmits memories to Jonas
  • Mother - Jonas's mother who works in the Department of Justice. Not his real mother.
  • Father - Jonas's father who is a Nurturer. Not his real father.
  • Lily - Jonas's 7 year old sister. Not his birth sister.
  • Gabriel - a sick baby that Jonas's father brings home and that Jonas grows close with.

Plot:
Jonas lives in a "perfect" society without colors, war, or emotion. At age 12 he is given the title Receiver of Memory when he learns about the world outside from an elderly man called the Giver. He also learns about death, which nobody in the society knows about. Jonas and the Giver devise a plan to free the society from its structure and bring memories back to people. Jonas risks his life to escape and release the memories. 

Recommendation:
This is a very complicated story with lots of hidden meanings. It may be a warning against the idea of a "utopian" society because there is no such thing as a perfect society. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially if they are considering going into politics.
