Jonah lives in a organized world, children are assigned families, jobs, etc. Right before the Ceremony of Twelve where he will be assigned a job was, his family took in a third child (which was against the rules) but it was only temporary and approved by the Elders (the people in charge) this child was named Gabriel. At the Ceremony of Twelves Jonas is "selected" for a special job called the receiver of memory. His training was…

The novel The Giver, by Lois Lowry, is a book about a rather unusual community somewhere in the world. It consists of: a utopia, a perfect, strict, very precise community, Sameness, our main character Jonas, and a Giver of memories. This community is constantly being watched by other people in the community to analyze each person's day so that no one breaks the rules, and no one makes a mistake. And because of the so-called Sameness that the council’s community used to create the community,…

One of the biggest fears today, is not being able to fit in. People of all ages have this in common. Many people believe that they have to fit in to be popular, but that’s not necessarily true.

I’m arguing that in the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, the community in which the main character lives in is utopia. Firstly, it’s a utopia because of the pre-organised lives that everyone lives and enjoys. In the book it says; “he was certain that his Assignment, whatever it was to be, would be the right one for them (Lowry, 52-53).” This shows the faith and trust that Jonas and the people around him, have in the elders to choose their jobs correctly. They also trust that they will choose their…

The title of The Giver is demonstrated throughout the book by The Giver transmitting memories to Jonas, giving Jonas love and wisdom, and then Jonas passing on that love to Gabriel. All these memories gave Jonas the ability to see his community as it really was, lifeless. Nobody in his community was able to perceive the true meaning of happiness or pain.
