The Giver Summarization for Language Arts
Jonas is a male, 11, growing up in a colorless, feelingless world. It’s December in his community and almost time for ceremonies throughout the community, but Jonas is worried. When he is skipped for assignments he is even more fretful! Then suddenly as the apology leaves the head elders mouth he began to relax. He was selceted to be the new Reciever of Memory. He goes through painfull, endless training.
It has now been a year and Jonas has witnessed many different memories, and his father releasing a newborn. Jonas is horriefied of this process and to comort him and put him at ease he stays with the Giver. They make a plan for Jonas to run away to “Elsewhere” and his memories will be transmitted to the community. Jonas is ready to leave the next day when a voice on the loud speaker tells [him] that Gabe will be released. Jonas steals Gabe, extra left overs from dwellings around the community and his father’s scooter. They reach the other side of the river and then walk and walk and walk. And then ahead of them in the distance is a community waiting for Jonas, and the newchild, Gabe.
