She stands for what’s right, she does not see the Greasers as anybody different from her. Cherry stands up for the Greasers and knows that “Things are rough all over”. She has a good heart and knows what is right.

The Giver novel presents the concept that being an individual is good and you shouldn’t go along with things because everyone else does. Everyone is unique. The Giver shows this is a good thing. It is the idea of different that people don’t like and The Giver shows how things would be if nothing was different. This novel gives us a new outlook on how being different is good. Another thing The Giver shows us, perhaps a more important thing is, taking action is an ideal thing to do. Jonas takes action when nobody else does. This shows the reader that going along with things that are wrong isn’t right. It shows taking action is a good thing. This is a good theme to have because many people struggle with taking action. The most important thing The Giver shows us is taking the bad with the good is a way to get through the battle. When Jonas begins his training, he is given only good memories. When he starts to receive bad memories he almost loses it. However, the good memories helped him get over and through the pain, suffering, and loss. Jonas went through a lot of harsh and hard things mentally and physically. So did Gabe, but the good memories helped get them both through it. The Giver is the best novel because it shows us everyone is unique, taking action is good, and when you remember the good, it will be easier to get through the bad. The other books are good, great even. But The Giver is the best. The other novels have good lessons. However, The Giver shows several lessons for all different scenarios, it ties in real life with fantasy, and tragedy with love and happiness.

August is the best choice for the literary lead. August is the best choice for the literary lead because he believes he is just an ordinary kid, he is used to how he looks, and he doesn’t let other people get him down. August says, “I know I’m not an ordinary ten year old kid. I mean sure, I do ordinary things. I eat ice cream. I ride my bike. I play ball. I have an Xbox. Stuff like that makes me ordinary.” (Pullman) August is pretty much just an ordinary kid except his appearance. Also, August doesn’t acknowledge the kids making noises and making fun of him. He doesn’t just give up or not want to go outside. He has accepted what he looks like. Another quote from August is, “Like, for instance, one time in the playground some older kids made some noises. I don’t even know what the noises were exactly because I didn’t hear them myself, but Via heard and she just started yelling at the kids. That’s the way she is. I’m not that way.” August doesn’t get angry at the people that make fun of him for the way he looks. Clearly, August is the best role for the male literary lead because he is a strong well rounded individual and doesn’t let other people get to him.
