Summary: The Giver
Review: The book that I am doing is called "The Giver". It is about a boy name Jonas who turned twelve and became a receiver. During his time of life, people of each age would have a community service which they would become something. For example- Jonas turned twelve and became a receiver which he gets to tell lies. He doesn't tell lies to anyone before. Then Jonas had met a guy who he calls himself The Giver. The Giver gave Jonas memories and thoughts. I think the book "The Giver" is a pretty good book, but some of the parts I don't understand that makes me confuse in the beginning. Once I keep reading it until I got to the middle of the book, it was starting to get into me. It has really touching details and it is like I am part of the book. It was like I was Jonas of his point of view. This author name Lois Lowry is a great writer to create this great book. I think that the book, "The Giver" is a great book that everyone might enjoy.

Summary: If you love getting nightmares, read this book!
Review: Ok this book really stinks! The place where the main character, Jonas lives has really weird rules. Ok to the point. One point in the book people are seperated from animals! Think what you would be like with out your cat or any pet to keep you company at night or morning or the afternoon. It is so sad. That is not the worst part. One part in the book they talk about that twins are not allowed in this place. If a mom has twins guess what happens? They weigh the twins and which one is lighter they get rid of. The other one they make nice and comfortable. Here is what happens in deeper detail. They weighed the twins. One is lighter so they put in a garbage shoot and let it get crushed. Meanwhile the "lucky" baby who weighed more is nice and comfortable and is smiling at his or her lost twin. Why they do this? I don't know! I took the book and threw it and cried and never read it again. My friends told me that the book NEVER recovers after this part. I do not recomond this book to anyone.

Summary: Noval Study
Review: I am a sixth grader (...). when we read the book "The Giver" as a
novel study in class, I began to get into it. Everyday I would look foward to reading it and
to find out what happens next. This book is suspenseful and surprising at every chapter.
There are twists and turns waiting around every bend, the book is a great because it's
detailed and very well thought over, it's also very emotinal, there are no times when you
feel "normal" you're either about to cry or you're jumping for joy. When you read about the main charecter, Jonas, you feel as if you where right there with him, being embarresed, being afraid and even feeling his pain as he watches a "release". The book somehow, teaches you not to always take things the way that they are and to try to change it, I think it tought me not to be afraid of being different. When Jonas begins to see colors it makes a different world for him, a more beautiful world. Then Jonas learns about the true feeling of love which is a wonderful feeling, which we sometimes take for granted, when Jonas gets feelings there not all happy, some are cruel and evil, such as hate. Jonas feels anger and love at the sametime. (...) So, please you owe it to yourself to give this book a< chance.

Summary: The Giver
Review: This book is about Jonas who lives in a community where there is no pain and the community is all flat. No one can see colors and there is one person that keeps track of all the memories. That person is "The Reciever". Jonas has a friend, Asher, who is a wild kid. Every December there is a ceremony like a birthday because you turn a different age. Each time you turn a different age you get something or something happens to you. When you turn 9 you get a bicycle and when you turn 12 you get your assignment. An assingment is the job that you will do for the rest of your life until you retire. They chose the assingment from the volunteer hours to do. For example if you do a lot of volunteering at the Nuturing Center your assingment will probably be Nuturer. Each child has a number at the ceremony which is the order they will be called up. The Cheif Elder skips Jonas's number then comes back to it. Jonas wasn't assinged, he was selected to be "The Receiver". He gets trained by the old receiver, which Jonas calls "The Giver", and gets to hold the memories. The Receiver is greatly honored because he can make decisions from past memories. Jonas gets the happy memories, but remembers the Cheif Elder saying that there would be pain so asks the Giver to give him memories with pain. During his training he sees colors for the first time and feels pain for the first time. Jonas's father is a Nuturer and he has to make a release. A release is releasing someone to another community. He watches the release and finds out that his father just kills the baby. Jonas runs away from the community and on his journey he feels pain, sees colors and sees hills. He also hears music which The Giver told him about.

Summary: The Giver
Review: "Welcome. We must get started. You're one minute late."
As I said before, you are one minute late which means you missed the subject of my review. Well, I'll repeat it, but don't be late again. "The Giver by Lois Lowry," that's all you've missed.
Ahem! Where to start...Ah I have it. The characters. Pretty interesting, and there are more then I list here: Jonas, a boy at 11 when you meet him, but yes, he grows an almost 2 years. He is a very curious boy who has ended up with a special life, to be the new Receiver in Training. What does he think of his highly honored job? Well, I won't give away what he does, but he doesn't prefer his honor. Asher, an interesting character, has had trouble with language ever since being a little kid. A somewhat humorous kid you will see. Lily, Jonas' sister is a very curious girl at 7 and always has something to argue about. After a little explanation of what she's talking about by her parents, the argument soon ends. His mother and father aren't as important as all , but still important enough. The mother (you never find out any of their real names) is a nice person who is in the Department of Justice. The father is a nuturer. A nuturer is someone who takes care of youngsters untill they are assigned a family unit to live with. He takes a child to his house and sneeks a peek at the naming list. The childs name is Gabriel. Jonas' father isn't supposed to have the child at their home untill that is decided by the other nuturers later in the book.
"Call me The Giver."
The Giver is Jonas' insructor. What he does is transfers memmories from the past from him to Jonas.
The setting (I thought) was an odd one. A community of sameness with no colors, feelings, that sort of thing. Well when Jonas is "selected" to be the new Receiver in Training, his whole life changes. He sees colors, he has feelings, he discovers books and so much more! Soon these feelings overtake him and because Gabriel is to be released from the community the next morning Jonas frees him from his misfortune. How you ask? Well, read The Giver by Lois Lowry to find out!

Summary: Best book ever!!!

Summary: The Giver, by Lois Lowry, by Nabooru23
Review: The Giver by Lois Lowry is about a boy named Jonas. Jonas lives in a perfect word where everything is under control. His father's job is Nurturer (he takes care of babis before they go to thier family unit at the age of 1), and he brings home a baby named Gabe.
When Jonas becomes a 12, he gets assigbed a job. A job with honor, but no power. He will be the new Reciever. When he gets his instructions, they strike him as odd; "you may lie". He will be trained by the previous Reciever, now known as the Giver. When he goes to recieve his training, he sees things that he has never seen before, like snow, a sled, and colors. He also sees pain and suffering. He and the Giver make a plan for Jonas to escape, with a certain baby named Gabe...
I reccomend The Giver to anybody. It gives you a good sense of setting. It is good for any age of people. It is a really good book!

Summary: a great book
Review: The Giver,by Lois Lowry I thought was a great book.It is is about a boy named Jonas who is chosen to be a reciever of memory at an age ceromony.Jonas is trained by the giver to have memories.They are the only two that can have memories also.but when Jonas finds out a terrible secret he uses his memories to his advantage.
The four main characters are the giver, Jonas, Gabe and Jonas's father.I think the theme of this book is that feelings are more important than order and samenass.Witch is a good lesson for kids to learn.If they did not learn it they wold be bossy and worried about everything being fair.
I thought this book was a really good book and I would reccomend this book to people a much a posible.The thing I like most about this book is the ending.I liked it because it was mostly up to us to decide what happened.So in conlusion I really liked this book and if you like good books you will too!
