Title : The Giver
Author: Lois Lowry
In my previous 2 posts i have mentioned that i will give you a mixture of books reviewed by me. This post is going to be one of those mixture blog posts.
I am reading a book called, The Giver . The giver takes you to a totally new dimension f the world that is probably unfamiliar to you. The giver takes place in a town, what is extraordinary about this town is that it has very different rules from the rules that we have, this town has rules that would never even cross peoples minds of. In our world/towns and cities everyone is different. People always separate them selves between wealth, importance, looks etc. but in this town everyone is the same, no one is allowed to think that they are better than someone or prettier than someone, its the rule of equality. Every must be equal, there is no other way. The people of the town believe that if there was no rule of equality then there would always be somebody feeling bad/ hurt inside.
The town also has the rule of no lying (this rule is for most people, not all). The rule of lying to the people of the town...how should i say it... well it is we taken in a different matter. For example the main character, Jonas had lied but not in a way to hurt someone, he simply said "I am starving". This was a lie to the people of the town because, " he was not starving he was simply hungry, no one in the town was starving and no one would ever be starving", Said Jonas's teacher. In my perspective i wouldn't classify this as a lie I think it would be classified only as an exaggeration.
This book is different from any other books, it bring you to a new world that had things that would never cross our minds. It is inexistent in our towns and cities.
