The Giver

The Giver is a book about a boy named Jonas that lives with his father, a Nurturer of new children. His mom who works at the Department of Justice and he has a seven year old sister Lily. At the beginning he is worried about the 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 good behaved citizen and a good student, Jonas is different. Jonas has pale eyes, while most people have darker eyes. In his town everyone is polite. If I had to be a character I would probably be Jonas. I sort of read ahead but when I read, he has unusual powers, that when he looks at an object, the objects moves. I would want to be him because he has unusual power, and for him it is a really big deal to turn 12 so it is awesome. In there also now he gets to start working at age 12.
