The Giver: First Impression














I think this book will be about a society where feelings, memories and individuality (like having your own opinion about something) is taken away from the citizens in the town or place this story is taking place in. I can also infer that the main character is Jonas and that he will receive training from the Giver, who has control over the memories and everything else this society takes away from people. The Giver will show Jonas the real beauty in life and Jason will try to destroy this distopian society and give the people the experience of living life like it should be, full of pleasure and  pain but most of all being a real life.


In the dedication page Lowry says: "For all the children, to whom we entrust the future". What the author is trying to say is that this book is dedicated to the future generations of the world, the future generations that should take care of this place and understand that that the world's future really depends on the choices and actions this generation takes.
