The Giver Speech

Authors Note: This is a character development on the character Jonas from the book The Giver.  
   
    My book is The Giver by Lois Lowery and the main character of this book is a twelve year-old boy named Jonas. He lives in a world full of sameness and never realizes what he is missing in his live until one day when he gets assigned the role of the receiver.  He finds out the secrets behind this government system he is so confused and worried about this. His parents have been lying to him this whole time about their jobs and other important issues. He now has to bare all the memories of the past before sameness and he doesn't want to go through live like this. He believes that everyone should be able to show their feelings and do whatever job they want. He changes through the book on the way he looks at his world. He wants difference in his life and in other people’s lives too. So they can see and recognize colors or taste food or see that bright sun but they can't because they just aren't aware of it. He completely changes throughout the whole book he starts out clueless about his community. But when gets assigned as the reviver he sees the world in a whole new way he gains knowledge about the world and wants it to change back to the way it was.
