FREE ESSAY ON THE GIVER

THE GIVER

In this book, the Giver, an old man gives all the memories of 
a world such as ours to a boy named Jonah. In this world there is no 
color, love, or twins, and the babies and children are bred by 
special people who have the job of birthmother. They then are adopted 
away. Everybody in the town has a special but awkward job. The giver 
tells Jonah of a place such as our normal world. 
After Jonah learns of the world before, he becomes anxious to 
escape and discover if their is a color outside world in which there 
is love, and normal families. The more visions that Jonah receives, 
the more painful they become. He also begins to become more and more 
anxious about discovering what is beyond his dull and controlled 
town. He also soon begins to have strange dreams of bathing one of 
his girl friends naked, in a bathtub. His parents then tell them to 
take certain pills to prevent these dreams, he does not because of 
his anxiety to find out what else there is in the world. 
The giver later tells Jonah how Jonah's and his own dinner, 
breakfast, and everything else that they do is monitored and 
controlled. The Giver later gives Jonah his consent to escape their 
town to go search for a normal and happier wolrd. Jonah kidnaps his 
baby brother who's twin gets killed by Jonah's dad. Him and the baby 
escape out the town into a normal world at the end of the book. The 
rest of the book, is about the visions that Jonah has, and explains 
how the Giver, is the keeper of memories from the village from 
hundreds of years ago.
The ending of the book is somewhat uncertain, since you dont 
know if Jonah makes it out of a desert into a new, better world, or 
if the whole thing is a mirage, to Jonah.
