The giver!
In the Giver Jonas is turning 12 years old and when the 11's are turning 12 they have a big ceremony and give you an assignment or like a job that you train for. And at different ages they get different things not like our live's like how we buy them whenever we want. The comity chooses you're job for you. They are some thing's that they are not allowed to say or say at that certain time. In a family they have a mom, a dad, a boy and a girl. When they get their jobs that is your job for you're life. When you are older you get released and they have a big ceremony for that. The Comity assigned a job for you that's suits you so if u like building they wouldn't give you like Nurturer. And When they big Ceremony of 12 starts they all sit alphabetically and they call our your name and your assignment but when they miss Jonas, he starts to worry. They call his name last even though has number 19. They call him up and his new assignment is The Giver. They have to have training first before you can get your new job. In the community they have many rules and you have to follow them. They have their tracing for a full year and them they take over.

This book is very good, it is very different from any other book I've read. If you want to read a different book from others try this one it is a very good

In the giver Jonas and his family live in a community where they have lots of different rules than us. They can't ride a bike until their 9,in their family they have a mom a dad and a boy and a girl and they can't have any more or less. They don;t even know their grand parents because they get released before they are even born. And when they are old enough they will get assigned their wife or husband and then they will also get given their daughter and son. Every year they have a very important day which is the day of the ceremony when all the kids turn the next age and if your turn 12 then u will get assigned your assignment(which is their job.)And Jonas gets the give which is a very very important job. And they all have to go though 1 year of training for their job till they can take over. Jonas has a very hard year of the training and gets through it easy for him.

Id recommend this book if you like books that take a while to get interesting but otherwise it's a really good book.

The Giver
By. Lois Lowry

The Giver is a story about a community that is completely different then ours The main character is a boy named Jonas that was a normal kid, until something changed his life forever! It was...
His job. He was selected to be the receiver of memory which is the most dangerous, respected and hardest job. His job was to receive the memories that the community would be scared of or they are not allowed to have. This is my favorite book because it is full of excitement! But the book is quite sad, But I'm not going to give that part away. I think the giver is the best book in the world!

4.0 out of 5 stars Many twists and turns will keep the reader interested
The Giver is a wonderfully unique story of a Community set aside from the rest of the world. Lois Lowry takes the reader on a journey through Utopia, or so it seems. Read more
