The Giver

Lois Lowry wrote The Giver, which is a heart-wrenching story. It takes you on a journey to a land of utopia, but as the story continues, we learn about the hidden dystopia in this world. My favorite character is Gabriel. I think Ms. Lowry uses Gabriel as a representation of love, something their world is missing. I believe that Gabriel reinforces the idea that in darkness, there is light. Overall, I thought The Giver was a fantastic book, definitely one of my favorites. If you enjoy books that make you think and stay with you long after you’ve read them, then I highly recommend The Giver.
