content: The Giver is written in a unique style that gives much for the imagination to ponder. Lowry's descriptions are vague as well as the ending. However, I feel Lowry wants each reader to come away from the book with something personal so she leaves certain details open to interpretation.The plot is unique taking place in a perhaps futuristic world. The community in which the main character, Jonas, lives seems to be controlled by computers and other sophisticated technology. The people live simplistic lives, but Jonas will learn the secrets behind the community. He faces decisions that ultimately prove to be too much and he must leave the community. The ending is rivoting and readers will be moved and surprised by the ending.
