Knowledge1. The Giver is a post-apocalyptic and dystopian book. The setting takes place in an isolated utopian community. The date is not specified in The Giver but it takes place in the future.Comprehension1. If there had been one more chapter in the book, I think it would go like this. It's a regular day for the community, the kids are at school or volunteering and the parents are at work. Suddenly, a feeling of freshness approaches them. A feeling never felt before. Children leave school or volunteer work and parents leave their jobs. They then all go to the doctor. “I've never seen this before, they say they feel something called cold. Oddly, I think I know what they're saying, but there's no scientific reasoning behind it. » The community members then go to the Donor and an emergency meeting is called with the Donor. The community begins to consist of emotions causing total chaos; everyone starts to collapse. Small children cry as the temperature rises and adults scream from the scorching heat. "What's going on?" “, asked the advisor. “Judging by the symptoms, they are suffering from sunburn. » Where is the new receiver? ” asked eagerly. . “Gabriel! Gabriel, he has disappeared! ", said Jonas' father, out of breath, as he ran in. . “Forget Gabriel!” Where is the receiver! "" the council shouted this time. Suspense builds in the room. “Jonas is gone.” said the Giver. Everyone gasps.2. Punishment - "Lily, he decided, would have to learn this soon, or she would be called to be chastised for her insensitive chatter." (page 20, chapter 3) Sarah had received punishment from her mother after...... middle of paper...... choice. It made me think in a different perspective and showed me the ups and downs of this society. Lois Lowry shows the importance of individuality, choices, and memory in a perspective that really helped me understand how we take certain things for granted. I can assure you that reading this book will take valuable lessons with you. Jonas is a really wise, curious and positive 12 year old boy. I think we should learn to be more like him because in the story Jonas shows how he follows what he thinks is right and not what society thinks. This helps describe the importance of individuality. Reading The Giver kept me engaged throughout the story, which is why I highly recommend you read it as well. I have to finish my homework; I have to go now. Please send my regards to everyone. I look forward to hearing from you! Yours, Lovedeep
