The Giver By: Lois Lowry In many works of literature, a character has a significant influence on another character. Lois Lowry demonstrated this concept in The Giver. When one of the main characters in the novel passed on a positive influence to another character. In this work, the people lived in a community that was designed to be nearly flawless. No person could see color, feel neither hatred nor love; no one had a choice in either occupation or education. In this novel, children were assigned to a family when they were young and were raised by two parents. In addition, it was an absolute most for them to have one other sibling. Only one person knew about life as we know it society today. In the community, that person was known as the “Receiver”; the one and only person in the entire community that had any memory of the past; love, war, peace, family, work etc. Since he soon aged, it became necessary t find a new “Receiver” to whom these memories could be transmitted. In the novel the main character, Jonas, started off as an eleven-year-old boy that lived his entire life in sameness, which wasn’t very jonas, community, life, one, giver, now, love, receiver, person, memories, gabriel, elsewhere, character, assigned, wasn’t, true, society, place, occupation, novel, newborn, new, memory, long, leaving, journey, influence, hill, given, found, father, family, entire, color, jonas
