content: The book "The Giver" takes place in a strange community some time in the Future.Jonas is closing in on his ceremony of Twelve, when Elevens become Twelve's, sort of like what we call our birthdays. Every person who turns Twelve is assigned a job for the rest of his or her life, or until reaching the House of the Old. During the ceremony, something unexpected happens and Jonas has to take on a job that is deviant but very respected. Jonas soon learns why his community is based on rules; why some things are banned, but, there's an upside.My over all statement is that everyone should read this book.By:~*~*Emma E.~*~*
