"The Giver," is about a society that is supposed to be perfect in every way. Everyone's job title is given to them at a young age so that they are able to start their job as soon as possible. Jonas is the main character and he gets assigned as the Receiver. He goes everyday to the Giver and gets information on the joys and pains of the past. He is the only one that will ever have this knowledge. No one else in the community knows about the history of the world. As he learns more about the world he wants to rebel since he doesn't think it's right but since he is the only one that knows about the past no one can relate to him so he is at a loss.
I may do a Marxist analysis of the book but I'm not sure about it yet.
