Hüter der Erinnerung - The Giver. Der 16 Jahre alte Jonas (Brenton Thwaites) lebt in einer scheinbar idealen Welt. Es gibt keine Kriege, keine Armut, keine.

He does not have a distinct career preference, although he enjoys volunteering at a variety of different jobs.

Though he is a well-behaved citizen and a good student, Jonas is different: he has pale eyes, while most people in his community have dark eyes, and he has unusual powers of perception.

He does not know it yet, but he alone in his community can perceive flashes of color; for everyone else, the world is as devoid of color as it is of pain, hunger, and inconvenience.

When the community went over to Sameness—its painless, warless, and mostly emotionless state of tranquility and harmony—it abandoned all memories of pain, war, and emotion, but the memories cannot disappear totally.

Someone must keep them so that the community can avoid making the mistakes of the past, even though no one but the Receiver can bear the pain.

Jonas receives the memories of the past, good and bad, from the current Receiver, a wise old man who tells Jonas to call him the Giver.

The first memory he receives is of an exhilarating sled ride. As Jonas receives memories from the Giver—memories of pleasure and pain, of bright colors and extreme cold and warm sun, of excitement and terror and hunger and love—he realizes how bland and empty life in his community really is.

Since they have never experienced real suffering, they also cannot appreciate the real joy of life, and the life of individual people seems less precious to them.

Jonas grows more and more frustrated with the members of his community, and the Giver, who has felt the same way for many years, encourages him.

The two grow very close, like a grandfather and a grandchild might have in the days before Sameness, when family members stayed in contact long after their children were grown.

Meanwhile, Jonas is helping his family take care of a problem newchild, Gabriel, who has trouble sleeping through the night at the Nurturing Center.

Jonas helps the child to sleep by transmitting soothing memories to him every night, and he begins to develop a relationship with Gabriel that mirrors the family relationships he has experienced through the memories.

When Gabriel is in danger of being released, the Giver reveals to Jonas that release is the same as death.

Edit page. The Best "Bob's Burgers" Parodies. Some are killed, all are dehumanized. As a little sci fi adventure, the book isn't terrible.

It's really the pretension that goes along with it. Lowry cobbles together religious symbolism and Dystopic tropes and then tries to present it as something as complex and thoughtful as the authors she copied.

Copying isn't a crime, but copying poorly is. Like Dan Brown or Michael Crichton, she creates a political pamphlet of her own ideals, slaps a pretense of authority on it, and then waits for the money and awards to roll in--and they did.

Many people I've discussed this book with have pointed to those awards as the surest sign of this book's eminent worth.

Award committees are bureaucratic organizations. Their decisions are based on political machinations. This book is a little piece of Nationalism, and so it was lauded by the political machine that Lowry supports.

The left hand helps the right. If awards are the surest sign of worth, then Titanic is a better movie than Citizen Kane. What surprises me is how many of those who brought up the award as their argument were teachers.

If a politically-charged administrative committee is the best way to teach children, then why do you take umbrage when the principal tells you that bigger class sizes and fewer benefits are fine?

Listen to him: doesn't he have award plaques? The other argument is usually that 'kids like it'. I usually respond that kids also like candy, so why not teach that?

Some people also get angry at me for analyzing a book written for children: "Of course it's not a great book, it's for kids! If you want a good book, go read Ulysses!

Children can be as skeptical, quick-witted, and thoughtful as adults if you give them the chance, so I see no excuse for feeding them anything less.

Kids aren't stupid, they just lack knowledge, and that's a fine distinction. It's easy for adults to take advantage of their naivete, their emotionality, and their sense of worth.

Just because it's easier for the teacher doesn't mean it's better for the child. When we show children something that is over-simplified, presenting an idealized, crudely moralizing world, we aren't preparing them for the actual world.

If you give a child a meaningless answer to repeat, he will repeat it, but he won't understand why. Why not give the child a book that presents many complex ideas, but no rote answers, and let them make up their own minds?

If they don't learn how to separate the wheat from the chaff and form their own opinions early, in a safe, nurturing environment, what chance will they have on their own as adults?

In all the discussions and research regarding this book, I have come across very little analysis. It's especially surprising for a book with such a strong following, but there aren't many explanations of why the book is supposed to be useful or important.

This lack of argument makes sense from a political standpoint, since there is no reason to analyze the worth of propaganda: its worth is that it agrees with society and indoctrinates readers.

Analyzing it would defeat the purpose; political diatribes do not stand up to thoughtful attention. Perhaps someday someone will create a thoughtful, textual analysis of this book that will point out its merits, its structure and its complexity.

I've gradually come to doubt it. I never expected when I wrote my original review of this book that it would garner this much attention.

I still welcome comments and thoughts, but if your comment looks roughly like this: "You should read this book again, but this time, like it more.

You think you're smart but you aren't. You're mean. Lowry is great. This book won awards and kids like it.

It's meant for kids anyways, why would you analyze what its about? I bet you never even read the sequels. Go read 'Moby Dick' because you are full of yourself.

Oct 20, PM. Kendall Forsberg R u ok?? Oct 25, PM. Jul 11, Kristine rated it it was amazing. I've taught this book to my 6th graders nine years in a row.

Once I realized that the book is actually a mystery, and not the bland sci-fi adventure it seemed at first skim, I loved it more and more each time.

Nine years, two classes most years I've come to see that the book isn't the story of a depressing utopia. It's the story of the relationship between the main characters the Giver, Jonas, and I won't say her name.

And of course, the baby Gabe. Every year, as we read the book I've taught this book to my 6th graders nine years in a row. Every year, as we read the book out loud together, I am amazed at details the students notice things I've missed the previous 15 times , or questions they raise that lead to further insights for not just the class but ME.

My God, the things they come up with, that I as an English major, or even me if I'd read this with a book club, could never have gone that far in depth.

As I began to more fully understand the book over the years, I was better able to guide their discussions, which helped them think more deeply about the book, and made me appreciate the book even more.

And by "guide," I don't mean calm, controlled, teachery, "I already know the answer" talk. My discussion techniques, simple: --I'd stop the tape books on tape are AWESOME- the narrator is always so much better than I could ever be and say something like, "So, what do you think?

Once I myself knew how to be interested in this book, I knew what might keep them hooked. I'm not spoiling the ending when I bring up my own questions, because I know this book is a mystery in which things don't much get answered- they're left to linger, and that's part of the beauty and hopefulness in this book.

There are still lines, moments, in the book that give me chills. I wait for them greedily, just to hear the words spoken.

I feel lucky to have been forced to read this book a dozen times. There are other books I've read a lot with my students, and this is the one that most stands up over time, the only one that keeps my interest.

I truly am on the edge of my seat to see what we will realize next. Because I've seen that, even if I think I have it all figured out, some kid is going to say something to rock my world.

I can't believe Lowry was able to make a book this clever; part of me thinks a work this good is impossible, and that we are just reading too much into it.

But no, it's all there, all the pieces, and she put them there. I just don't see how could she have written such a tightly woven mystery- how could she have know all of the questions the book would raise?

And you know what, she probably didn't. A book isn't like drawing a map. You make the world, and things happen.

And in this case, she did make a perfect world. I hate puns so much!!!!!! I mean, she so fully created that world where everything that happens is plausible.

Just read the damn book, then call me. Or, call me after like, Chapter 13, then after 18 and Lines that almost make me cry Gail Thank you for a lovely review!

I just read it for the first time at age 67 and was enthralled. Sep 09, PM. Elspeth In 10th grade, my son was forced to read The Handmaid's Tale.

Yes, he's older, but in a world where anyone is required to read the Handmaid's Tale I d In 10th grade, my son was forced to read The Handmaid's Tale.

Yes, he's older, but in a world where anyone is required to read the Handmaid's Tale I don't want to hear complaints about The Giver.

I thought it was a great book, and those classes that "all hated it" probably hate all the books they're required to read for school Jul 11, James Carroll rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: anyone.

Shelves: fiction. This book is perhaps the best refutation that I have seen in some time of a common philosophy of pain that is sometimes found in the popular media and in some versions of Buddhism.

According to this philosophy, pain is the ultimate evil, and so, to eliminate pain and suffering we must give up desire, and individuality. Self is an illusion, and leads to pain; desire and agency are dangerous, so we should give them up and join the cosmic oneness "enlightenment" to find a utopia without pain.

As Ge This book is perhaps the best refutation that I have seen in some time of a common philosophy of pain that is sometimes found in the popular media and in some versions of Buddhism.

As George Lucas unfortunately has Yoda say to Anakin, "you must give up all that you fear to lose. Choice, agency, adversity, love, desire, and real pleasure are dangerous, they can lead to pain, but without them life has no purpose.

Love could lead to the loss of that which we love, but life without love is empty. Purpose comes from choosing.

Purpose comes from overcoming adversity. Yes, you could choose poorly, and that could lead to pain, choice is dangerous, but without it, life has no meaning, it is colorless.

Greatness in life is found by overcoming adversity, not by the absence of adversity. Without opposition, there is nothing to overcome, and thus there may be no bad, but there is also no good, there may be no pain, but there is also no joy.

Although some later books answer some of these questions, at the end of this book we are left to wonder: Did he die? Did he live? All we really know is that he was made free, and he made a choice Did it lead to happiness for him?

Did it lead to happiness for the community who will now have his memories? Will they destroy themselves, or will the Giver be able to help them find true purpose and happiness in life?

We don't know, because that is the way of all choices. We can't always know the outcomes of our decisions, and therein lies the danger, but the risk is well worth the rewards.

Characters: Jonas I liked this characters because I can relate to him somehow. Fiona What I really liked about Fiona is her rebel side. He heard people singing.

Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps, it was only an echo. He glanced nervously at the speaker on the wall, reassuring himself that no one was listening.

It was the meaning of everything. I don't know how, but there must be some way for things to be different. There could be colors.

And grandparents," he added, staring through the dimness toward the ceiling of his sleepingroom. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.

I highly recommend it to you if you life dystopian books! Also the movie is out now! View all 65 comments. Jan 21, Julie Ruble rated it liked it Shelves: teaching.

I think I'm missing something. Everyone loves this book and I liked it too, but it wasn't amazing or anything.

The Giver felt like a very sparse story to me. First, there isn't much characterization, so I didn't form an emotional connection with any of the characters -- not even with Jonas or the Giver two central characters.

Asher and Fiona particularly Fiona are introduced such that you assume they will play greater roles in the book than they do. I don't feel like I knew Mom or Dad or Lily at all.

While the lack of an emotional bond with these lesser characters may be due to the nature of their community, Jonas and the Giver should really be more sympathetic, in my opinion.

Second, the description of the community itself is sparse. There is so much more that could've been described about this "utopian" community.

I feel like Jonas' selection, his revelation about Release, and his eventual choice could've been built up and framed better.

I feel like I got the quick campfire version. Finally, while I appreciate it's overall message about the importance of individual differences, human emotion, etc.

Jonas' initial support of his community and gradual change of heart seems intended to present both viewpoints, but doesn't succeed in my opinion.

The book's agenda was clear to me from the beginning. It also doesn't present alternative possibilities such as a world without Sameness but also without war, a world without Release but also without starvation, etc.

When teaching the book, I also felt it was very important for students to understand how this heavy-handed moral that most of us would agree with somewhat demonstrates Lowry's and our own privilege.

That is, the reason it's easy for us to say that Jonas' community is horrible is because of our own relatively privileged lives. If we lived in Darfur, were extremely impoverished, lived in a country where women were treated as property, etc.

Despite all of this, believe it or not, I did like The Giver. It's an enjoyable read. It had a great plot, the community was interesting, and the ending was fantastic and JUST a little ambiguous -- cool!

Thanks for watching and happy reading! Check Out the Written Review! Man oh man, for a children's book Lowry certainly didn't pull any punches.

Jonas lives in a perfectly perfect world. Every family has one mother, one father, one girl and one boy. Famili Stuck at home? Families always get along, the parents never disagree, no one has any secrets.

Everyone contributes to society equally. No one is ever outraged, angry, sad. The life where nothing was ever unexpected.

Or inconvenient. Or unusual. The life without colour, pain or past. However what appears perfect on the surface hides a far darker truth.

There isn't any negativity in their world but also, there isn't any true happiness or love. All emotions are suppressed, children are taken from "birth mothers," and defected individuals are "released.

Jonas is ready to undergo the ceremony of twelves during which are children born in the same year 'age' to the next level.

He will be assigned his role in society but when he is supposed to accept his new job, he's given the title of Receiver.

Something he's never even heard of. No one really knows what the Receiver does other than the Giver. Soon Jonas learns that the Giver holds the collected memories of the societies long since past and passes it along to the next generation.

Jonas is faced with startling realities that he would've never considered - how beautiful color is, how heartbreaking loss is, and how incredibly wonderful love can make a person feel.

The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. And soon, he comes to a decision. One that would irrevocably shift his small world.

Of course they needed to care. I first read this one in fifth grade and whew. It was a doozie. Reread it this year and I'm starting to wonder if kids would like English class a lot more if any of the books were a bit more cheerful That being said, reading this one as an adult completely changed my perspective.

I remember liking it, in a slightly apathetic way, in fifth grade. Now, I'm wholly invested in the plot, the characters and the world.

What an incredible dystopia! Audiobook Comments Very well-read by Ron Rifkin. He wasn't a stunning narrator but definitely an enjoyable one.

Though, it was a bit disconcerting to hear a grown man's voice for year-old Jonas. View all 46 comments. Sep 01, Matt rated it it was ok Recommends it for: People who want to analyze how not to write sci-fi.

It is very easy to start an interesting science fiction story. Simply begin with a mystery. Don't explain things to the reader and leave them in a state of wonder.

In this way, everything will seem interesting, intriguing, and worth exploring. This is a good plan for start If there are no wrong answers, can we really say that something has any meaning?

This is a good plan for starting a science fiction story. Lots of science fiction stories begin in this way.

I also thought of China, because I immediately grasped that this had to be a culture which was designed to gently crash its population.

There were many clues that the world was heavily overpopulated and the primary goal of the culture so described was to crash the population without descending into society destroying anarchy - the highly regulated birthrate, which was insufficient to sustain the population.

The replacement rate for a society is about 2. Clearly, infants can't be meaningfully banished, so clearly release was euthanasia. So I was intrigued by the story.

I wanted to see what happened to Jonas and his naive family who had so poised themselves on the edge of a great family wrecking tragedy in just the first few dozen pages of the story.

I wanted to receive from the storyteller answers to the questions that the story was poising, if not some great profound message then at least some story that followed from what she began.

But it was not to be. This shocked me, because in the context of the setting it was virtually impossible that he and everyone else did not know. We know that the society is life affirming, both because we are told how pained and shocked they are by loss and by the fact that Jonas responds to scenes of death with pity and anger.

No society like that can long endure. Some technological explanation would be required to explain how the society managed to hide the truth from itself.

If release took place in some conscious state of mind, then surely the dispensers of Justice, the Nurturers, the Caregivers, and the sanitation workers would all know the lie, and all suspect — as Jonas did — that they were being lied to as well.

Surely all of these would suspect what their own future release would actually entail, and surely at least some of them would reject it.

Surely some not inconsequential number of new children, reared to value precision of language and to affirm the value of life, would rebel at the audacity of the lie if nothing else.

Even in a society that knew nothing of love, even if only the society had as much feeling as the members of the family displayed, and even if people only valued others as much as the Community was shown to value others, surely some level of attachment would exist between people.

Soma or not, the seeds of pain, tragedy, conflict and rebellion are present if ever the truth is known to anyone. Nothing about the story makes any sense.

None of it bears any amount of scrutiny at all. The more seriously you consider it, the more stupid and illogical the whole thing becomes.

We are given to believe that all wild animals are unknown to the community, yet we are also given to believe that potential pest species like squirrels and birds are not in fact extinct.

How do you possibly keep them out of the community if they exist in any numbers elsewhere? We are given to believe that technology exists sufficient to fill in the oceans and control the weather and replace the natural biosphere with something capable of sustaining humanity, but that technological innovation continues in primitive culture.

We are given to believe that this is a fully industrial society, yet the community at most has a few thousands of people. Surely thousands of such communities must exist to maintain an aerospace industry, to say nothing of weather controllers.

Why is no thought given to the hundreds of other Receivers of Memory which must exist in their own small circles of communities in the larger Community?

Surely any plan which ignores the small communities place in the larger is foredoomed to failure? Surely the Receiver of Memory knows what a purge or a pogrom is?

I can only conclude, just as I can only conclude about the illogical fact that no one knows what release is, that everything is plastic within the dictates of the plot.

Every single thing when held up to the light falls apart. There is not one page which is even as substantial as tissue paper. It is almost impossible to draw meaning from nonsense, so it is no wonder that people have wondered at the ending.

What happens? The great virtue of the story as far as modern educators are probably concerned is that there are no wrong answers.

What ever you wish to imagine is true is every bit as good of answer as any other. Perhaps he lives. Perhaps he finds a community which lives in the old ways, knowing choice — and war and conflict which probably explains why the community needs anti-aircraft defenses.

But more likely from the context he dies. Perhaps he is delusional. Perhaps he gets to the bottom and lies down in the deepening snow which the runners can no longer be pushed through and he dies.

Perhaps he dies and goes to heaven, maybe even the heaven of the one whose birthday is celebrated by the implied Holiday. Perhaps it is even the case that he was sent to his death by the cynical Giver, who knew his death was necessary to release the memories he contained by to the community.

For my entry in the meaningless answers contest, I propose that the whole thing was just a dream. This seems the easiest way to explain the contradictions.

And the biggest clue that it is a dream is of course that Jonas sees the world in black and white, with only the occasional flashes of recognized color around important colorful things as is typical of that sort of black and white dream.

Perhaps Jonas will wake up and engage in dream sharing with his family, and they will laugh at the silliness and then go to the ceremony of twelves.

Or perhaps the whole community is only a dream, and Jonas will wake up and go downstairs and open his Christmas presents with his family.

No need to learn about the past, no need to think about tomorrow, they just react to what they have to do today. I insist on being a more complicated creature.

What I learn about the past helps me make decisions about the present. The dreams I have for the future influence my decisions in the NOW.

The past, the NOW, and the future all mingle together with very little delineation. Reading this novel, experiencing this future society, my nerves were as jangled as if Freddy was running his metal tipped fingers down a chalkboard over and over again.

He is delegated to the ancient, wise, old man called The Receiver. He is the vault, the keeper of memories, the only person in the community that knows there was a past.

Jonas is understandably confused, overwhelmed with the concept of anything other than NOW. Jonas is seeing red. In a monochrome society devoid of color, it is the equivalent of seeing a UFO or a Yeti.

Color changes everything. As The Giver lays hands on him, transferring more and more memories to Jonas, he starts to see the world as so much more.

Color creates depth, not only visually, but also mentally. He wants everybody to know what he knows, but of course that is impossible, most assuredly dangerous.

And he was angry at himself, that he could not change that for them. To eliminate bad things also requires an equal measure of a loss of good things.

In making this society the holes in the strainer were just too small. Your mate is really just a partner, someone to schedule your life with.

Children are assigned to you. They are nurtured by others until they are walking, and then like the stork of old they are plopped into a family unit.

Two children only per couple. Women are assigned for childbearing, but only for three children, and then they are relegated as laborers for the rest of their lives.

Childbearing is looked on as one of the lowest assignments a woman can be given. No decisions necessary He needs to speed up the process of passing some of that distress to Jonas.

For the first time in his life Jonas feels real discomfort. Pills in the past had always taken away any pain he felt, from a skinned knee or even a broken arm.

As The Receiver he has to understand the source of the pain, and to do so he must feel it.

Edit Cast Cast overview, first billed only: Jeff Bridges The Giver Meryl Streep Chief Elder Brenton Thwaites Father Katie Holmes Mother Odeya Rush Fiona Cameron Monaghan Asher Taylor Swift Rosemary Emma Tremblay Lilly Alexander Jillings Gabriel 12 Months James Jillings Gabriel 12 Months Jordan Nicholas Smal Gabriel 3 Months Saige Fernandes Gabriel 6 Months Renate Stuurman At the beginning of the novel, he is apprehensive about the upcoming Ceremony of Twelve, when he will be given his official Assignment as a new adult member of the community.

He does not have a distinct career preference, although he enjoys volunteering at a variety of different jobs. Though he is a well-behaved citizen and a good student, Jonas is different: he has pale eyes, while most people in his community have dark eyes, and he has unusual powers of perception.

He does not know it yet, but he alone in his community can perceive flashes of color; for everyone else, the world is as devoid of color as it is of pain, hunger, and inconvenience.

When the community went over to Sameness—its painless, warless, and mostly emotionless state of tranquility and harmony—it abandoned all memories of pain, war, and emotion, but the memories cannot disappear totally.

Someone must keep them so that the community can avoid making the mistakes of the past, even though no one but the Receiver can bear the pain.

Jonas receives the memories of the past, good and bad, from the current Receiver, a wise old man who tells Jonas to call him the Giver. The first memory he receives is of an exhilarating sled ride.

As Jonas receives memories from the Giver—memories of pleasure and pain, of bright colors and extreme cold and warm sun, of excitement and terror and hunger and love—he realizes how bland and empty life in his community really is.

Since they have never experienced real suffering, they also cannot appreciate the real joy of life, and the life of individual people seems less precious to them.

Jonas grows more and more frustrated with the members of his community, and the Giver, who has felt the same way for many years, encourages him.

The two grow very close, like a grandfather and a grandchild might have in the days before Sameness, when family members stayed in contact long after their children were grown.

Meanwhile, Jonas is helping his family take care of a problem newchild, Gabriel, who has trouble sleeping through the night at the Nurturing Center.

Jonas helps the child to sleep by transmitting soothing memories to him every night, and he begins to develop a relationship with Gabriel that mirrors the family relationships he has experienced through the memories.

When Gabriel is in danger of being released, the Giver reveals to Jonas that release is the same as death. The Giver tells Jonas about the girl who had been designated the new Receiver ten years before.

When she died, all of the memories she had accumulated were released into the community, and the community members could not handle the sudden influx of emotion and sensation.

The Giver and Jonas plan for Jonas to escape the community and to actually enter Elsewhere. Once he has done that, his larger supply of memories will disperse, and the Giver will help the community to come to terms with the new feelings and thoughts, changing the society forever.

However, Jonas is forced to leave earlier than planned when his father tells him that Gabriel will be released the next day. Gradually, he enters a landscape full of color, animals, and changing weather, but also hunger, danger, and exhaustion.
