The Giver
The Giver, by Lois Lowry (Newbery Medal, 1993) is a fascinating book. Jonas has been assigned the job of the Receiver, the person to bear the weight of all of the memories. All the memories of what snow is, and what it was like before Climate Control overcame it. The color red. And, most importantly, the memory of pain. Jonas wants to let everyone experience the memories them selfs, and he and the Giver arrange to have Jonas run away, therefor leaving all the memories behind. However, it happens sooner than they had planned...and without all the preparation, memories of courage, that they had been counting on to survive. Jonas, and his adopted brother Gabe, are forced to leave early...And who knows what they will find, out of the protection of climate control, color control, fun control, job control, school control? control, control, control...
