How this book has changed my life in a major way:
The book talks about a community where you have certain rules. You are bound by the rules and if you break them, you are released.
You don’t get to make your own choices at all.
I think this book really tells me to make my own choices and do what you want to do. Don’t let somebody else make the rules for you. And I think that it is nice to have choices.
Who would you recommend it to and why?
I would recommend this book to someone who has a big imagination and someone who can understand strong topics. When my cousin gets older, I would recommend this book to her, because she has a great imagination and she can understand a lot of things, especially now, and she’s only six years old.

The movie for the Giver came out in 2014 and I haven’t read many of her books, but I think I will read some more, because I know that the Giver had a big impact on me.
The major questions raised by the book and, for fiction, a description of its characters, setting and plot:
Does he live? When he leaves, does something bad happen to the Giver? I was super curious, though I didn’t have many questions.
Jonas lives in a community that is set into the future. Jonas is the main character and he is twelve when the book starts. Where Jonas lives, you don’t get to make choices and the Elders set the rules, and if you break them, you get released. During Jonas’s ceremony of the Twelve’s, the chief elder skips his number, and later, he gets chosen to be the next receiver of memory.
The Giver gives him joyful memories at first, but then gives Jonas painful memories of the past. Everyday, Jonas experiences strong and powerful memories, and he learns more and more about what the past used to be. Jonas soon learns that some of the things in his community aren’t right and that he wants to change them, but he can’t. He starts to see color and he starts to see a lot of the things that the world used to be.
