       How would you feel if all your life the government makes your decisions for you. In the book the Giver by Lois Lowry Jonas a twelve your old boy finds out the secrets behind this system he is so confused by this. His parents have been lying to him this whole time.When he get's his assigned role as the receiver he finds out more about this whole life that he lives and what life would have been without this. 

        Jonas is having a tough timing believing what he knows everyone is the same no colors no likes no anything. He things this should all be different. He thinks we should were blue clothes yellow pants and green socks show our emotion. But no one understands what all of this is. Since Jonas is the new receiver he gains all of the old memories of the old world before sameness.  He is good at controlling and having wisdom that comes with this new skill. Jonas can't take this cruel world anymore filled with sameness and no emotion he and his new found little friend flea the city which is a huge rule you can't break. When they find elsewhere they feel complete to live their own lives without being told to do.
