The Giver(LOIS LOWRY)
A English book, The Giver reflects an ideal and fantasy world which has no conflict and doesn`t have to worry about money like a real utopia. However, there`s a restriction that we can`t have a right to enjoy our liberty and choices in any situation. If so, can we confidently say that it`s our ideal world that we expected and wanted? Though we can`t feel the emotion all we have, is it the very community? Surely, that`s not the one. In addition, even, we don`t regard people in that community as humans, but they`re puppet of The old. Even though, No matter how peaceful and feeling no anxiety about their community, if we can`t feel those delights authentically, we can`t appreciate it.
In this book, everything is controled such as emotions¡¦(»ý·«)
o babies, which has a destiny that they can`t foster them, just making the babies adopted to Nurturer. Of course, Jonas, Lilly and Gabe are adopted, too. Next, there are Nurturer which Jonas` father has and position at the Department of Justice in which Jonas` mom is prominent.
But, Jonas and Lilly don`t have jobs due to the fact that they did not fully age to be assigned. In this world, there are missions in each ages, and they have to carry our them. While they are doing, elders observe them and give proper assignments when the members age twelve-year-old. When Jonas are twelve, take the greatest and the highest assignment which is called "Giver". After that Jonas are trained to be Giver. One day, Jonas receive an special memory that father is staring, which is very shocking owing to fathers murdering. a terrible scene generates leaving of Jonas with Gabe. They undergo some adversities but they finally reached a novel and curious world.
As suggested in the end of the book, we can`t absolutely say that individuals who live in somewhat perfect community feel happy and convinced. Though the world is perfect and peaceful to live, if there isn`t any person who treat me as human, that society is governing us rather than perfect as if it comforts us. In this book, members in that world who can`t choose jobs; just assigned and considering that as it is are seemed they are the robot. Is it pertinent job which is assigned after observed under the supervision of others? it is myself that who knows me very much and specifically. Other people; in this book, the old surveyed me thoroughly though, they can`t watch inside of our mind. That someone conducts avoidable things cannot lead to like to do it. The assignment should be the thing that we can exert our interior power. In terms of that respect, the elder`s assigning may be the way the society works. Nevertheless, there is the thing that elders can`t do. That`s the control of emotion that Jonas has. When Jonas asked his father "do you love me?" The father told him "Jonas. You, of all people. Prescription of language, please."His kind and warm father can`t love him....... (p127) Is The Giver`s community solidity? isn`t it the scarecrow adorned with many accessories?
