The Giver by Lois Lowry


Book Recommended by Anup C.

Mountain Park Branch

What does a perfect society need? That is what the whole book is about. It explains that the people in a society should all be cautious and stay away from everything. No feelings and no choice. There is only one boy that can change this, who is Jonas. He realizes a society doesn’t only need kindness, cleanliness, and safety, but also emotions and individuality. He finds that people who look the same or are not correctly born are disposed of. This book brings up a good debate about what is a perfect society. Is there one? It makes you realize about your society. Reading this make you think: Is living a life without pain a life without love? This also makes you feel that the society in the book is taking away love and giving pain.
