The Giver (Book)
The Giver is novel written by Lois Lowry in 1994. It follows the journey of Jonas, a boy who lives in a "utopian" dystopian society. This is because negative emotions have been abolished, at the expense of positive emotions such as love. Jonas is chosen to be the next "Receiver of Memory," which means he must take on the role of keeping memories of the past from the community in order to maintain a society who feels no emotions. The book sold 5.3 million copies and won a Newbery Medal. It also spawned a film adaptation.
