Jonas is unusual. His eyes are
lighter than most of the people in his futuristic society. He is about to find out what job the
government has chosen for him, but he doesn’t feel a particular affinity to any
of the jobs he’s tried. In his society,
the government is all about efficiency, so weather has been regulated, animals
have been killed, and emotion has been removed.
Jonas gets the job of receiver, which essentially means storer of
memories. The Giver is getting old, and
he’s passing along the wisdom and memories of the past. Because of his new experiences, Jonas is no longer satisfied in his old life. When he discovers what the government is really doing to twins, he and The Giver hatch a plan that means changes for everyone.
