The Giver
The book The Giver by Lois Lowery has been a staple in the education system for many years.
Many students today have even written papers on it trying to relate the novel to how times can be
observed in their minds. With many of these students there might have been an abundant amount of
questions remaining, with little answered, leaving them with anticipation to pick up one of the
next four books in the series. The main similarities among the books are that they all deal with an
utopian form of society, which includes a main hero or heroine making a sacrifice to save their
society. In this research paper databases will be used to compare the similarities and how each book
relates to one another, while also looking at the subtle differences...show more content...
Son closes the series and answers any questions left behind by the original book, The Giver. From
the first three books the audience was left with a main protagonist who has some sort of power, but
in the final book it starts a new story that clarifies anything left unanswered previously. Set seven
years later from the first book, Son is broken up into three segments of: Before, Between, and
Beyond. In backtracking to The Giver, Lois Lowry once and for all gives the answers that have been
left unanswered for some time. Everything that has ever wanted to be known about the first utopia,

The Giver Essay
The Giver, a book by Lois Lowry that was published in 1993, was not like anything I had read
before. The novel is set in the future, or maybe the past, it never really tells the reader when the
book was set. The novel was focused on a young boy, twelve years old, named Jonas and an older
man known as Giver and what Giver teaches Jonas about their society and everything that is kept
from everybody else. The Giver shares information and feelings that nobody else knows or feels.
A few examples of what Jonas' society is keeping from everybody is: sadness, pain, worry, snow
and sledding, rivers, sunshine, color. No one in this society sees in color because it's different, and
differences scare them, there are no differences in this society.

Jonas was also feeling pressured because the infant he had come to care for was going to be
"released", also known as killed. WIth this new sense of urgency and anger, and a little
encouragement from the elder Giver, Jonas was off on his journey. Jonas left with the infant to
try to save him from being released, however with an abrupt ending there is no sure answer to
whether or not Jonas was able to save Gabriel. The chapter "Nice to Eat You: Act of Vampires" the
author said that people who feed off of others in their time of need or use others in their time of
need could also be called vampires. This is said because they are basically feeding off of their
need, therefore making them a vampire. With this we can say the Giver was a vampire who fed
off of Jonas' need to show everyone what he sees and feels and to save Gabriel. It is also said that
vampires will feed off of people who feel a need for affection and, or they want something. Jonas
found the love he wanted in the Giver, Jonas' society says that the word love is meaningless. The
Giver became like Jonas' grandfather and he had begun to care for him and trust him when Jonas left
on his quest. With this newfound affection and small trust Jonas was quick to adapt to the feelings
that the Giver had, that is what happens with a vampire when you start to trust

Love In The Giver
As we all know, rules are made for a benefit of the general people. But in The Giver by Lois Lowry,
we realize that not all rules have such innocent intentions. Lowry uses the rules in The Giver to show
us that not all rules have noble objectives, proven through the use of the rule of not lying, not going
out at night, and blocking out emotions.
Lying is never a good idea. Apparently, the protagonist ofThe Giver, Jonas, thought so too. "Finally
he[Jonas] steeled himself to read the final rule again. He had been trained since earliest childhood,
since his earliest learning of language, never to lie,"(70). This clearly shows that lying is horrible in
this society. But did you notice how the word Lowry uses is "trained" and not learned? This...show

But in The Giver, love is one of the many positive emotions that has to be kept down through the
use of a pill. In fact, it is a major offense not to take the pill, as shown. "Stirrings. He had heard the
word before. He remembered that there was a reference to the Stirrings in the Book of
Rules......... ATTENTION. A REMINDER THAT STIRRINGS MUST BE REPORTED IN
ORDER FOR TREATMENT TO TAKE PLACE,"(37). "Stirrings" is the title that the form of love
in this dystopian society is given. The "treatment" for the Stirrings is a pill. This seemingly
harmless pill somehow shuts down the feelings of love you have. It is apparent that the Elders
have a sort of wariness or even fear toward love. Hypothetically, this might be because of the intense
emotions that love might inspire, many of which could be harmful to the picture of peace that the
Elders have painstakingly painted for the oblivious citizens of "the Community". Love could
essentially spell out the doom of this society, thus justifying the means used by the Elders. But that
isn't really very selfless, is it? The only one benefiting from this rule are the Elders and their mock
peaceful picture for

Feelings In The Giver Essay
Taking away the feelings in a community make it unbearable to live in. The community In the
giver took away the feelings of love, hate, pain, and happiness. The community is boring for these
people. For example, they didn't get to experience a first fight between a friend or family member
love at first sight, or even the joy and company of others. In chapter 16 Jonas receives a memory
of Christmas from the giver. "Jonas felt the joy of it as soon as the memory began." These feelings
are a good thing and shouldn't have been taken away. If someone took these feelings away right
now in the world, everyone would be lost; no one would know what to

The Giver by Lois Lowry Essay
In the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry, the receivers are the only people who have feelings and
memories. The elders are the people who choose what the best is for their people in the
community and sometimes they go to the receiver for help on making the right decisions. The
people from the community do not see color, or have freedom on making a decision for them.
There is no love, feelings, and grandparents. Jonas is assigned to be the next receiver of the
community; He was trained by the giver, who transfers memories of the pain and pleasures of life,
who also shows him the truth and reality that is hidden to the community. Jonas's community does

In the book also recall identical twins, in this case the community cannot have two identical
persons in the community. "I'm the next on the list. I'll have to select the one to be nurtured and
the one to be released. It's usually not hard though. Usually it's just a matter of birth weight. We
release the smaller of the two" (114). This quote is from Jonas's Father. He is telling the family unit
about the decision that he has to make about the identical twins that are going to be born. "It's
usually not hard though" Jonas's father said this, gives us the sense of brutality and heartless feeling
about Jonas's community, and if this is what Jonas's father does for a living, just imagined what
others do, or are being assigned for their job. This actually shows that they do not have the
understanding that memories would give them about feelings. Although, the individuals from the
community think that being release is a good thing for them. "Well, there was the telling of his life.
That is always first. Then the toast. We all raised our glasses and cheered. We chanted the anthem.
He made a lovely good–bye speech. And several of us made little speeches wishing him well" (32).
This quote is from Larissa; she is an old lady that Jonas bathed in the House of the old one day.

Examples Of The Giver In The Giver
At the beginning of "The Giver", the reader is to believe that the community Jonas lives in is a
utopia. It's later revealed that this is quite the opposite of what it really is. A dystopia. Along with
Jonas, the reader finds out how in Jonas's community they they give the elderly and newborns lethal
injections, constrict feelings, and prevent any form of decision making. When Jonas discovers these
things through memories, he is distraught, and he has the right to be. He wants to show everyone
what has been taken away from them, and what they are being lied to about. This is why I believe it
was completely justified for Jonas to leave the community.
If Jonas never left the community, Gabriel would be released, and because Jonas...show more

What they have had taken away from them. If Jonas never left, the community would never be
exposed to all the new concepts Jonas learned about. Pg. 146 "The Giver shook his head. Jonas, he
said, the community has depended, all these generations, back and back and back, on a resident
Receiver to hold the memories for them. I've tuned over many of them to you in the past year. And
I can't take them back. There's no way for me to get them back if I have given them to you. So if you
escape, once you are gone–and, Jonas, you know that you can never return–Jonas nodded solemnly.
It was the terrifying part. Yes, he said, I know. But if you come with me–The Giver shook his head
and made a gesture to silence him. He continued. If you get away, if you get beyond, if you get to
elsewhere, it will mean that the community has to bear the burden themselves, of the memories
you have been holding for them. When Jonas left, the all of his memories were released back into
the community. Doing this, brought them many new memories of pain, death, love, color and
more. Pg. 147 "There's a little female with pale eyes. But she's only a six. That's correct. I know
the one you mean. Her name is Katharine. But she's too young. So they (referring to the
community) will be forced to bear those memories." By leaving the community, Jonas placed the
burden of his memories onto the community. Doing this, hopefully showed the community all the
things that had been taken away from them. "He pushed firmly again at the pedal with his foot and
continued riding along the road. It was not safe to spend time looking back. He thought of the rules
he had broken so far: enough that if he were caught, now, he would be condemned." Even if Jonas
broke numerous rules, leaving the community would still benefit everyone else, as it exposed them
to brand new ideas they never knew about

Summary Of The Giver
The giver was suffering, feeling pain, he transmitted the memory to Jonas. It was a sunny day,
Jonas saw a man riding a scared horse across the big field. The horse that carried the men fall,
letting the man crush into the ground. The men was begging for water, using a gray uniform that
was full of blood, Jonas eyes cached the men bones. The men died to the sound of canons and
animals dying. Now Jonas had the memory of warfare, letting Jonas shocked

The Giver By Lois Lowry
The Giver Essay Nick 2017
In the 1993 novel The Giver, written by author Lois Lowry, and the 2014 movie The Giver, directed
by Phillip Noyce, the themes of Memory and the Past, Rules and Order are evident throughout.
Throughout this essay, I will discuss the importance of both themes and how through the book and
movie.
In The Giver, rules are negatively portrayed so that freedom, choice and individuality are stolen
from the people. The people of the "community" aren't even aware that they have lost their freedom.
To the people, rules are a great thing, because it makes life predictable and manageable. It's this lack
of freedom that worries the readers the most.

The release is very common in The Giver, and there are a few reasons for being released:
You can be released for having three or more crimes.
You can also be released if you apply for it (except for the Receiver of Memory, and inJonas's case,
the apprentice).
The lightest of the two twins will be released.
You can be released if you are at a certain age after you have entered the House of Old.
Because of the abundance of the rules designed to remove individuality and personality and the rules
for releasing, therefore, the theme of Rules and Order is evident throughout the novel and the movie.
The theme of Memory and the Past is shown throughout the novel when The Giver shows Jonas all
of the memories and how it is important to attain wisdom. The community also wants to remove
memory in the people 's lives, because without memory, they won't experience painful feelings such
as guilt, regret, grief, etc. This also shows how Jonas's father felt nothing when he released one of
the twins.
"It 's as if..." The man paused, seeming to search his mind for the right words of description. "It 's
like going downhill through deep snow on a sled," he said, finally. "At first it 's exhilarating: the
speed; the sharp, clear air; but then the snow accumulates, builds up on the runners, and you slow,
you have to push hard to keep going and –" (10.59)
The sled was the first memory that Jonas receives from The Giver, which symbolizes

Character Analysis Of The Giver
The Giver: Analyzing Characters and Topics The character in the story that I was most fascinated
by was the Giver. This character has many admirable qualities. He is resilient against the painful
and hard memories he has seen and he is loving. He and Jonas are the only two characters in the
story that are even capable of loving. While reading this story, I felt as though the Giver and Jonas
were lucky because they get to understand and feel love, but on the other end of the spectrum, they
experience pain and great sadness. The other characters in the story get to be blissfully unaware
of the pain and suffering of the past. The first trait that I mentioned above, resilience, is why I like
the Giver's character so much. The quote that exemplifies this is, "The worst part of holding
memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared." "I've shared them
with you," Jonas said, trying to cheer him up. "That's true. And having you here with me over the
past year has made me realize that things must change. For years I've felt that they should, but it
seemed so hopeless. "Now for the first time I think there might be a way (Lowry 1993 Ch. 20 p.
154–155 para. 9–11)." This shows the Giver's resilience. He has been lonely because he had these
memories, some that were very painful, and no one with which to share them. He saw pain and love
and somehow lived with the burden of this knowledge. He continued to carry the burden of being
the Receiver while

Essay Questions For The Giver
1. What is important about the subject?
The subject of The Giver is the significance of memory to human life. This is important to the
subject because without memory there is no pain. This prevents anyone from suffering any pain in
human history, and it also prevented people of the society from wanting to get involved with
relationships, that could end in conflict and suffering. From not being able to engage in relationships
there was no love, and love is one of the main qualities that brings our world together, but could also
tear our world apart.
2. When does/did this take place?
In the book The Giver this book takes place in an unspecified time in the future. But, towards the end
of the of the book, there was one chapter where the author put in...show more content...
It only states that the main focus of the book takes place in a "perfect community" where Jonas lives.
4. Why do you think this subject/event is so important?
I think the subject of this book is important because it takes away the main quality of human life. I
believe that to live a fulfilled life, you need to experience pain. And even though pain is not
something many people enjoy, it teaches us lessons on how to grow stronger mentally. This is
important because God gave us memories so we could reflect on them, and have them help us as we
continue going through our life.
5. Write a 3–5 sentence summary about this book.

Lois Lowry is an American author; who has won two Newbery medals for two of her major
works, "The Giver" and "Number the Stars". Lowry was born in Hawaii, she is one of three; now

inspired from real life events that happened in her life. One of her major works is "The giver"; in
which she talks about how life would be without, feelings or emotions. Lowry portrays her stranding
of such life in the form of a story about an 11–year–old boy –Jonas– who gets to experience
emotions for the first time. On his 12th birthday, he was assigned the job of "the receiver"...show

A society stripped from such emotions is a plain, tasteless, and miserable society. The bond that
people share, whether it was the bond of a couple, or a bond between child and parent, these
bonds are what strengthen the society. Lowry addressed this issue in her book "The Giver",
people are deprived form their individuality; from their identity; no one knows where they belong
or who they truly are, people became like machines taking orders from "the elders", no one has
any rights or freedom, they think they do, but they don't. The society that Lowry described is no
different than a society of robots; a society of dolls being controlled by a puppeteer, a society where
a mother would offer her child to be released –killed– because he cannot be an active member of
"the society", a society of a man who is ready to leave his mother's side by the age of 12 to serve
"the society". What are these people? Who are they? And what is this society? Is this what they call
home? Do they know what "home" means? What is

The Giver Essay
How would it feel if this world didn't let people have choices, didn't let people share, or if they
didn't let people celebrate birthdays, holidays, or just celebrate anything? Well that's what it was like
for Jonas in The Giver. Jonas lives in the future in a community where The Giver is the only one who
knows everything, but soon all that changed for Jonas. He became the the community 's new
Receiver of Memory, and soon Jonas learns the terrible secrets of this "utopian" community. Later on
as he learns some more about the community's secrets he makes a plan to leave the community, and
to take Gabe with him so he wouldn't get released.(which means they die, but the community doesn't
understand that) In this book choices, sharing, and celebrations would have made The Giver
community more positive.
One thing that would make The Giver community more positive is Choices. One supporting quote
in on page 97, "If everything's the same, then there aren't any choices! I want to wake up in the
morning and decide things! A blue tunic, or a red one? He looked down at himself , at the colorless
fabric of his clothing. But it's the same always." This quote is helpful because the scientist made
everything to sameness and they didn't want anyone to choose what they wear. But if the community
could see color then the people would have the freedom to choose what color tunic they want to
wear and decide if they like it or not, and if they didn't like it then they

Giver Essay
Throughout history, mankind has gradually become a more centralized and cohesive unit. While
revolutionaries such as Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels had to dream of a united humanity, this
dream is now within reach and humanity can now embrace its destiny and free the masses. For once
mankind does not have to dream, the near perfect utopia of the future, the perfect society, is within
its grasp. Some novels, such as The Giver by Lois Lowry, can aid in giving an example of a Utopian
paradise for all. There are a multitude of measures which should be borrowed from The Giver's
homogenous unit. The main rule that should be reintroduced is that of capital punishment. This rule
should be reintroduced, because it allows for a safer society. The notion of three transgressions,
followed by death, would discourage the world's populace from committing crime dramatically and
therefore would make the world safer. Therefore, humanity embracing capital punishment would
make the world safer and better....show more content...
That idea which should be borrowed, is that of volunteer hours for the youth. Volunteer hours would
be a boon to society, namely because the younger generation would spend its free time contributing
to humanity instead of wasting their time destroying it. Volunteer hours would also ensure that
developing youth do not have to be supervised, in addition they can develop their skills in a way
which will allow for them to narrow their career choice. All things considered, volunteer hours would
allow for an infinitely more productive

The Giver
The Giver, written by author Lois Lowry, was published in 1993 after being inspired by her father's
memory loss in his old age. From this sad occurrence, sparked an idea to write about a world where
nobody has experienced a bad memory. That very idea later became a tale many have grown to love
called, The Giver, which to this very day is a success, earning itself honorable prizes such as the
William Allen White Award along with aNewbery Medal and even had been granted its own movie
adaptation. Lowry gave the incredible book three accompanying titles, completing the quartet. Read
by over twelve million, it's widely considered to have started of the dystopian genre's popularity in
young adult fiction.
The plot is about a young boy named Jonas and the world in which he lives. Jonas and his
community have never seen animals, snow, nor hills among other regular sights in our day and
age. Their lives and environment are controlled, choices are made for them by the Elders from the
day you're born and everything said and done is closely regulated. Concepts that seem normal and
of common sense to us, are nonexistent in their livelihoods altogether. Oddly enough, when a child
turns twelve at their Ceremony of Twelve, they are considered adults and are given specially
assigned jobs. Protagonist Jonas, is selected for the special role as the Receiver, whose task is to

Synthesis Essay On The Giver
E.M Forster said "A work of literature must provide more than factual accuracy or vivid physical
reality... it must tell us more than we already know," meaning that literature doesn't need factual
information to mean something to the audience, and I agree. "The Giver" by Lois Lowry supports
this claim, because it is fictional, and still provides emotional appeals. This novel is a good example
of how literature can be effective while being fictional. It is based in a futuristic dystopian society.
By examining all of the flaws in society today, it shows that there is room for improvement without
being controversial. Lowry wrote the book to give us a general idea of his opinion on issues in
modern society, and to foreshadow the larger issues that will eventually be created.
The book is told in the first person from Jonas' (the main character) point of view, and starts off
describing what Jonas is feeling about the ceremony that will decide his occupation for life. The

The child isn't growing at a normal rate,which means that he will be "released" if he doesn't begin

Because Gabe is just a baby and has not conformed to the rules of this society Jonas can show him
the memories that he receives, and he does so because he feels that the baby could be a new
beginning. All of the memories of the past that Jonas receives, show him how the society that he
lives in is constricting to the people. He is genuinely scared of what could happen if he or Gabe
stays where they are. This shows that although Jonas wouldn't want to break the rules, he feels the
need to protect baby Gabe, and would go to any lengths necessary to do

Rules In The Giver
For many people living in a place without the right to love somebody, being released after making
three mistakes would disturbing like many other rules. Rules and laws in The Giver community are
extremely strict because its members don't have rights and are controlled by the Elders. The rules
don't only affect characters, but the relationships between member of The Givers community. All
these actions affect the perspective of the readers to the story.
Setting affects character's actions in the story because members of the community must follow the
rules of his/hers age group. If they don't follow this rules they will be chastise or even get released.
