In The Giver written by Lois Lowry, everything is colorless, blank, and absent. Everyone’s world is monotonous and mundane. But, there is no hunger, hatred, fear, sorrow, or guilt. In the community there are no memories of snow, sunshine, animals, or other everyday objects. The Giver takes place in a small community, where the citizens live by very strict rules and guidelines. One extremely important rule states that when children reach the age of twelve they will each receive an assignment. These assignments are jobs that the children will take on when the become fully trained. Some assignments in the book include Caretaker of the Old, Rehabilitation Center worker, Assistant and Director of Recreation, Birthmother, and many more. Jonas
