STORYLINE:
Ok, so this is for people who don't really know about the Giver. It's a great book, really. It's by Louis Lowry.
So basically, there is a Utopian Society. Utopian means 'perfect'. So, there are The Elders, who are the rulers or decision makers of the community. There are birth mothers, who give birth for three years, and then become laborers for the rest of their lives. There are family units, and each child a birthmother gives birth to is given to one when they request. Each family unit may have one male and one female child. There are ceremonies in December, where each age group (Sixes, Sevens, etc.) are gone up and age. For example, if I'm a 10, then next December I'll become a 11. When you are a One, you are given to a family unit. When you are a 12, you are assigned a job, and you start training for it. So, your parents aren't genetically related to you. Also, you sister/brother isn't. The parents can't name their child, the Elders do. This world doesn't seem perfect at all, as there isn't any real love. Though the people there don't know that, since they've never experienced any of this. Except for the Receiver of Memory, the only person who has memories in the whole community. You might be confused when I say, "You could go to Elsewhere if you would like." So, Elsewhere is the place where we live, where there is love and care and feelings in general.
Ok. That's the Giver in a nutshell!
