Some governments and different political systems in real life forces people to perform activities and tasks without taking the perspective of the citizen in count. In Jonas’ community all the choices are made for the people including where the stay and what where which results in the people losing all kinds of humanity they have and act like robots. Another message of The Giver is that having no choice is more destructive to the community than having choice. This message is relevant to the reader as it is applicable to a wide range of audience as most people would like to reach their dreams/goals in life. This shows that Jonas never gave up and followed his faith and dreams even though he risked his life for it. This resulted in Jonas risking his life for the community he lives in as he wants everyone to know the truth. Jonas felt that people in his community having no choice was unfair as they could never experience colour, love and joy. This quickly changes as he starts receiving and experiencing different kinds of memories including the pleasant and the unsettling ones. This can be seen throughout the novel because the main character, Jonas is innocent and very clueless at the beginning of the story. The message in The Giver is to follow your dreams and faith and also that having no choice is very destructive. The Giver is a novel with many messages that are relevant to the reader and are also relevant to real life. This is the only way in which the people will realize that there is more to life.

He becomes confused and doesn’t understand. Jonas then finds out about war, colors, music, snow, sunshine and about pain and joy and all kinds of other intense emotions. The old Receiver, who tells Jonas to call him The Giver, transfers the memories to Jonas by a unique method that sounds a bit like how people can read other people’s minds. This is done to be sure that the people do not experience the pain that can come with having strong emotions. The Receiver bears the memories of wind, war, sunshine, savoring, music, and color. He is to be trained to be the new Receiver. The Ceremony of the Twelves is special for him because he finds out that instead of being assigned a job, he is “chosen”.

Everything in his community is the same- that means no colors, animals, and everyone is treated the same. The person training him, or as Jonas calls him, the Giver, gives him memories of a long long time ago when things were way more strange. When the day finally comes, he gets told that he has the rarest and highest of honor job there is- he gets to see memories from a long time ago in history. When the Ceremony of Twelve arrives, Jonas has no idea what job he is going to get, but lots of kids his age do. Because everything is the same, everyone gets bicycles at the same age, gets their job at the Ceremony of Twelve, and is only allowed to have one boy and one girl child in their "family unit". Jonas lives in a community where everything is the same and fair, because with any differences it can cause arguments.
