    I read this book in the 6th grade and now as a sophomore in highschool got the lead role as Jonas for "The Giver" as a competition play. This book is terrifying because it is such a terrible world, yet it is exactly what society pushes us to.

    I think it is frightning because of the setting it is placed. The Giver is settled in a utopia, and a utopia might as well be heaven! People do not want to be afraid of a utopia. But that's the point of the book. This book deserves a million Newberry Medals! It is a work of a true author and Lois Lowry put her heart into writing this book as well as her sweat and blood.

  • @peyton5849
    @peyton5849 5 років тому +57

    My theory for the book: At the end Jonas died but when he was seeing happy things he was thinking about all of his loved ones when we was going to haven. (Gabe didn’t die) When Jonas saw the giver, it gave him his memories back and he remembered the sled. So his spirit helped Gabe down the hill and pushed him into safety. When Jonas could feel the wind on his face, it was because he was watching over Gabe and remembering what that felt like. Jonas is Gabe’s protector and in haven giving Gabe strength. When Gabe got to the bottom of the hill, people came to recuse him. Jonas could hear the singing in the house from the people who rescued him and the lights were from the same house. I don’t know it’s just a theory

    • @midshipharpy9283

  • @koffeedtv
    @koffeedtv 10 років тому +41

    My students are reading this book and they are absolutely in love with it. What I like about it is how the book engages my students through suspense. The book gives them an idea of how society works and it makes them appreciate their own world as they compare it to Jona's strict and cruel world.
    I can see how some people feel that this book should be banned. There is a very small part in the story were Jonas dreams about asking a girl to get inside the bathtub naked to bath her. This can be very controversial. However, if this book ever gets banned, it would be such a shame. It is one amazing book that can easily turn a student who hates to read into a bookworm.

    • @CoolGuy-fs9np
      @CoolGuy-fs9np 6 років тому +7

      People think this book should be banned because of his thought about the girl in the bathtub? He is 12 and without his injections his hormones were no longer surpressed, so he thought of a girl in a setting where she would be naked. Wanting to wash her comes from their "pure" world and that is the only time that kind of situation including nudity and touching would happen. It is the closest thing to sexuality and affection he could imagine, but that doesn't mean it should be banned.
      This book has always been a clearly remembered favourite of mine since I read it in grade 5 or so.

    • @kingbod55

      As a teenager I found a few things about Jonas that were similar to myself. As an adult I am convinced of it. Jonas is like a symbol of hope, and how one person can change the world. Determination and truth can lead us to move past the mistakes and short comings of those before us. Jonas was chosen, bc he wasn't a follower. He questioned EVERYTHING about his life and the day to day things most overlook. When he realizes what "releasing" meant he knew he had to act quickly. His Love for Gabe and Pheona, coupled with the faith and knowledge instilled by the giver allowed him to save the entire community. Such an amazing story and movie.

    Lois Lowry, I really like your book. I think it is very interesting and eye opening. Why people want to ban the book, is simple. They don't want to 'scare' kids. It is thought provoking book with unique ideas that make you think of some unsettling things. But the things are true and are interesting. I don't think this book is bad. My school never banned it. They like books like this. And I'm glad they do. If we were all like Jonas' community, what would the world be? People need to think.

The idea that if you aren’t given choices, no mistakes will be made and how that doesn’t give anybody any wisdom seems so true, yet many don’t see it. Don’t ban this book, it is a window into our society.

I believe this is where Jonas begins to die and refers to a final memory of hope, he rides the sled(why would someone leave a sled at the top of a hill rather than the bottom of it) and the final line read "But perhaps it was only an echo" (meaning the sled and the ride may have just been an echo of his last fleeting memory)

He reminds him of the beauty of life, and what he is fighting for. That is why there is the music, to suggest the givers presence. I do believe that they survive. With he help of the giver through the tough time.

    I would rather live in their world then ours. Even if there's no color. There are no bad people, no mistakes, no crazy life threatening moments.

    I have read the book, in school too, and I think that it is a great book! If you have never read the book here's a short summary of it: No one has a birthday in Jonas' community, they all have one day, but for every 1-12. I didn't say 1-12 year old because when you are 1 in the real world, you are A 1 in Jonas' world. Everything is in black and white, no one can see color except for the reciever of memory. I am running out of space so I can't say much more. JUST READ THE BOOK!

    @goku20018 i think that the skin color would all have mushed together rather than turned all white. they just couldn't see the color. anybody agree? like how fiona had red hair, but no one sees it.

      It's sort of a sequel. It's a parallel story, that takes place elsewhere in the country. It introduces all new characters. Jonas is not mentioned until the very end - and then not by name. You need to read it though, to understand the third and fourth books - Messenger and Son which tie together the main characters Jonas, Kira, Matty, and Gabe from the first two books, and finalizes their stories.
