The Giver By Lois Lowry
So far into the book, The Giver I think that it is a good book, because it's Science Fiction. It really makes you think about the theme of survival. It is similar to a few books I have read like the Hunger Games and Divergent, because they both have similar meanings to it. In my opinion I think the Hunger Games is like a survival type feeling mood, and Divergent is the same way- only with different powers that you are given. In The Giver, the main characters are Jonas and Asher. These two are very different from each other. Jonas is the type of person who is very funny and who jokes around, Asher is the type of person that takes things seriously. So when Jonas and Asher are together they both clash and sometimes don't get along, but in the end they still get back together. Also, later they meet another person down the road, named Lily. Lily is similar to the both of them, except Lily is a girl and she got put into the "One's" group and was given a ceremony. At this point into the book I think they fight in a survival type match and decide who's the best and they get chosen.
Towards the end of the book, Jonas and The Giver who is the leading person of there event were talking and discussing about their grandparents. Jonas really didn't understand what grandparents really meant and what it stood for, So Jonas kept wondering about his grandparents because no one can see old people anymore so they have them separated in a different building. For Jonas grandparents meant "parents of the parents long ago" which he thought it meant, so The Giver explained to Jonas that it is people that don't live with us anymore which is the new meaning of grandparents of there time. Jonas also didn't really understand what love meant too so The Giver had to teach him what it meant because they grew up in different eras and The Giver is more of like a teacher. Overall I really like The Giver because of it being a type of book that I like to read.
