Fuck you for making this book I have to read this as a reading book while everyone else gets to read good books she probably died of Borden trying to read her own fucking book

Nobody’s gonna talk about how she keeps licking her left cheek and smackin her lips?👽🫶

I would hate it if the Giver were banned, it’s so important to our society, because it basically reflects what could happen in the future or what’s happening now in our world. The idea that if you aren’t given choices, no mistakes will be made and how that doesn’t give anybody any wisdom seems so true, yet many don’t see it. Don’t ban this book, it is a window into our society.

The coolest thing about the story to me was that when I first read it I imagined everything was colorless and that actually was a plot point that confirmed what I saw in my head

I do not know if our future civilizations will remember Global Warming or Covid-19 after it has been contained so we may need a Giver too. Nice to see you.

The Giver is the young adult and children’s version of Brave New World. A true classic.

They're frightened because it's a little bit too close to what the New World Order is looking for

Great precision of language, Lois, at 1:55

Little did you realize at the time, that to the political Left, the first part of your book was utopia. In the end, the to political Right, our savior was to the Right and freed the indoctrinated. Which is exactly what we need in society today.

Jesus Loves You 😊

We read this book in 8th grade.good memories 🥲

Her editors or handlers obviously nudged her to write this spooky dystopian project which promotes communism, ecofascism and eugenics. A look into the near future perhaps.

this book suck

Who conducted this interview?

They are frightened by it because it encourages people to live off the grid lol. The powers that be are upset of someone writing a book about the mark of the beast.

book sucked, movie helped me understand so much better

Legend!

I’m only watching this because it’s for school hw 😒

IMO this book exists on a plane with F451 and 1984. It’s more truth than many can handle apparently..

This rand with 80 subs posts a video about a book and gets 170k views lmao

Only if she new what was going to happen 10 years form 2010 the civic 19

TAMAULIPAS!!!!!!!

1:57 Precision of language Lois!

The giver isn't a science fiction it's a dystopia

The Giver is really similar to our public schools.

They are afraid us the future generation(s) will do something like this

I'll tell you what they are frightened by: the book doesn't conform to their knee-jerk liberal narrative; it basically portrays a straight line of logic, that says in an effort to create utopia, they created a dystopia, and that is something that is not acceptable to the Left-wing establishment.

The book was a huge threat to those dark entity's who have kept humanity in slavery and darkness The boy woke up . If you are awake then you will understand this book different. thank the The ending was him going into the light ( magnetic field) Light is upon the planet

A good book to read.

2019 ??

My theory for the book: At the end Jonas died but when he was seeing happy things he was thinking about all of his loved ones when we was going to haven. (Gabe didn’t die) When Jonas saw the giver, it gave him his memories back and he remembered the sled. So his spirit helped Gabe down the hill and pushed him into safety. When Jonas could feel the wind on his face, it was because he was watching over Gabe and remembering what that felt like. Jonas is Gabe’s protector and in haven giving Gabe strength. When Gabe got to the bottom of the hill, people came to recuse him. Jonas could hear the singing in the house from the people who rescued him and the lights were from the same house. I don’t know it’s just a theory

If you don’t understand the ending or the book you must not have looked into the religious symbolism. Reread it Christian symbols

This book is great thank lois

The only ending as I see it. Jonas and the giver have a special connection at this point. The giver is very aware that Jonas is about to die. He reminds him of the beauty of life, and what he is fighting for. That is why there is the music, to suggest the givers presence. I do believe that they survive. With he help of the giver through the tough time.

People are afraid of the reality of it. Also, the hints of sexual attraction.

I only watched the movie but I feel like the kind of society that was portrayed in the book is the type of society that we could become in the future. In someways it reflects civilizations of the past.

Me and my class had the ceremony of twelve to see what it was like to be assigned your job. Our teacher posted a picture of us on Twitter and she actually replied. My fav book now and movie

I just came for the interview and i ended up being spoiled by the comment section lul

Loca

So i watched the movie. Im going to read the book but i du know why this book is been challenged. It adresses the comunist utopia were there is no crime and everyone is equal. I come from cuba. I compared it to the movie. The indoctrination that they attempted on me matches 100% with the plase were the story takes place. The people that are challenging the book are cumunists and today we can see how they are been more possessive in universitys. Antifa. Feminists. Sjw. We need to stop them. This people can take freedom away from us just like they did in USSR and Cuba. Don't let it happen again.

people get scared when you ask too many questions. they can't stand to think to deeply about their perception of the world.

i thought they died and as jonas had his life being stripped away, he relived his favorite memory

wheres the infinite tsukiyomo at

I hated the book since I read it in middle school, as did all of my classmates. I used to think it was just the slow pace, the unsatisfying ending, and the credibility issues of anyone over 30 handing this to an adolescent and acting like they don't love sexual repression. This interview gives me another reason: the early chapters are supposed to be "seductive." We're supposed to like the idea of a ridiculous nanny state government wiping our asses and barking orders for every detail of our lives, which is the opposite of what any remotely mature person would want. If you aren't seduced by the idea of living under a totalitarian regime, Jonas turning against the Community feels less like an exciting twist and more like a stupidly obvious conclusion that the book dragged its feet to reach.

Seriously all of you complaining about the ending!! Didn't you get it? Jonas got to the Elsewhere and in Christmas day to be precise. The memory he cherished the most he was going to LIVE it. That was the best fucking ending ever! I really don't understand how someone would hate it!!!

i personally thought that Jonas and Gabriel both died and the giver left the planet and the people lived the way they usually that they do

Worst ending ever.

My fav book from childhood was "giving tree"
