Our Summary of The Giver by Lois Lowry

First published in 1993, Lois Lowry's novel 'The Giver' explores futuristic themes, bordering on allegory. It represents fantastical versus realistic fiction. Jonas is the main character in what many believe to be a moral fable that employs both political and social overtones and that Jonas is the principle player in a moral fable with political and social overtones. The community in 'The Giver' is believable and plausible. The narrative has a social order, but it is based upon belief systems that encourage infanticide and euthanasia. It functions as a social critic of political and social systems. With this context in mind, Jonas has two parents. He quarrels with his sister. He loves to ride his bicycle. He has a normal life. But everything in Jonah's world is regulated, from his desire to the weather. The community has rulers and requires its members to occupy a productive role. Jonas changes his perceptions about the community and becomes a receiver of memory. By the end of 'The Giver,' Jonas's life changes. He prepares for loneliness and he enters training that involves also receiving pain.
