THE GIVER
By Griffin
H.
Jonas is a
normal boy in a normal city, where seemingly nothing goes on. There is no
crime, no war, no fear, or any memories of pain. Every year that someone turns
twelve, they are assigned a job.
The world
goes on, oblivious to whatever happens around them, and the Giver is the one
who holds all the memories of love, pain, and even death, and Jonas is singled
out to become his student, to pass on the memories of real life outside of the
city.
This is an
amazingly well- written story with an imagination to match. This book’s descriptive
properties make you feel as if you were in the story itself, with Jonas, during
his rapidly changing lifestyle in a seemingly unchanging city. The book about
his life, his family, and even possibly his escape from the city.
I would
recommend The Giver to students in grades 4 and up. It’s a great read and won the Newberry Award for a good reason.
