The Giver

The author, Lois Lowry, was trying to relay a strong message in this book to make her readers think. "Think reader what life would be like without diversity and differences."

Where everything was sameness and too perfect. Sometimes when we have differences, some good some bad. It makes the world more interesting. I feel her writing is effective cause it made you feel. You could feel sad, or anxious, or scared, but it made you feel. An example would be, when the Giver lets Jonas feel snow on his face, this made me feel happy for Jonas, cause I know how I feel when snow is on my face.

Some weaknesses would be that the book tends to be a bit scary at times. I did find this book to e very interesting.

I would recommend this book to others so they can read it and learn to appreciate our world for all the good and evil.

I believe this novel was made for us to realize that our thoughts and memories are
