Abstract
"The Giver" by Lois Lowry is set in a world where everyone lives in a society that has eliminated pain and difference by enforcing "Sameness." Jonas, a 12-year-old boy, is chosen to be the new Receiver of Memory, the one person responsible for holding memories of life before this artificial peace. As Jonas discovers the dark truths about his community, he faces a choice between accepting their way of life or fighting for something more real and free.
