So basically, the book is based on this one character named Jonas, who lives in this community with no feelings, or pain, memories, colors, animals, music, and a place of no changing weather patterns. It’s honestly pretty crazy, but anyway, Jonas is an adoptive child that lives with his parents, a Nurturer (dad), and a Law/Justice worker (mom) and his younger sister, Lily, who was also adopted because all children are born through birthmothers. Anyway, they have a huge ceremony in the month of December where the kids basically do a step-up day, and become a new number. (EX: a 3, or an 11) Each year, the kids get something, like a haircut or a bicycle, but the year of 12 is when you are assigned your job and you enter the community as an adult. Now mind you, when they become this adult they are only about 12-13 years old, but anyway, they do their celebration for the ceremony of 12, but they skipped Jonas and it causes him and his community to panic, but it turns out that Jonas hadn’t been assigned, he had been selected… to be the next Receiver. There's only one receiver and he trains in private with the past receiver, who becomes The Giver. The role of Receiver is to receive the memories of the past and hold them until the next receiver is chosen. As Jonas receives these memories, he
The main protagonist is a young boy named Jonas, living in a utopian community, which, at first glance, seems like an ideal place to live. In this society each birthday celebration has its own distinct rights of passage and privileges. Each age group has distinct expectations of behavior and responsibilities to the community. Infractions of expectations carry extreme shame and might even lead to being “released to elsewhere” from the community. Jonas is a well-behaved young boy who follows the guidelines without thinking about them. We first meet Jonas when he is eleven and apprehensive about his upcoming 12th birthday. This birthday will determine what his life’s work will be within the community. The community is lead by a group of elders and it is the elders who determine what jobs each 12 year old will have. The children have no word or input into their jobs, they must accept whatever is decided for them. In his ceremony of twelve, Jonas is surprised to learn that he has been picked to be Receiver of Memories in training, a unique and prestigious position.
