The Giver

This book is about a world where there are no problems. Everything is perfect, and everything is the same. There is no war. There is no pain. But when Jonah is given his job by the Chief Elder, he is chosen to get special training. The Giver holds memories of colors, and happiness. But he also has memories of war. Jonas begins to see the truth, and cannot go back. He must choose. This book was required reading, but is intresting and shows what life could be like...and why it shouldn't be that way.
