The Giver is a story about a young boy called Jonas who lives in a society free of crime, suffering and sadness. Thereis no color, music or emotion, and individuality is prohibited. Everything is chosen; from your parents to your partner. At 12, children are assigned their jobs, which they will train for and do for the rest of their lives. Jonas is assigned to becomethe new Receiver of Memory, also known as the Giver. The Receiver holds all the bad and good memories of the past. In another words, no one in the community has any memory of humankind’s history.
《The Giver》是一個關於一個年輕男孩約拿斯的故事，他生活在一個沒有犯罪、痛苦和悲傷的社會。那裡沒有色彩、音樂或情感，而個性是被禁止的。一切都是被選擇的，從你的父母到你的伴侶。在12歲時，孩子們會被指派工作，並且被訓練、從事這份工作一輩子。約拿斯被指定成為新的記憶接收者，也被稱為《The Giver》。接收者擁有過去的所有好壞記憶。換句話說，社區中沒有任何人對人類歷史有任何記憶。
       The storyline is complex enough to hold the attention of both young and old readers. The development of Jonas from a scared boy to someone willing to risk his future to save the community is enjoyable to follow. The story prompts us to reflect on the path of growing up. At first we are scared to accept that there are new responsibilities, but as we slowly get used to it, we want to move more and more away from childhood. What’s also impressive is Jonas’ loss of trust in hisfather. At the beginning, Jonas believes his parents completely. However, after the current Receiver shows Jonas the tape of his father killing and disposing of a new born child, Jonas loses his admiration of his father. This moment is what forces Jonas to leave the community. It is symbolic of the change from the innocent mind of a child into the questioning and educated mind of an adult. 
該故事情節複雜而引人入勝，足以吸引年輕和老年讀者的注意。其中約拿斯從一個害怕的男孩成為願意冒險拯救社區的人時，讓人隨著故事的發展而感到愉快。這個故事促使我們反思成長的過程。起初，我們害怕接受新的責任，但隨著我們慢慢習慣，我們想要越來越遠離童年。同樣令人印象深刻的是約拿斯對他父親的信任喪失。一開始，約拿斯完全相信他的父母。然而，在現任記憶接收者向約拿斯展示他的父親殺死和處置一名新生兒的錄像後，約拿斯失去了對父親的敬仰。這一刻迫使約拿斯離開社區。這象徵著從孩子的無辜思想轉變為成年人的質疑和受過教育的思想。
        The ending is another aspect which makes this book interesting to read. There are two possible meanings behind the ending and readers have a choice in what it means: either Jonas freezes to death on the sled, or he has really found“Elsewhere.” The ending shows us that, whatever happens, Jonas has made choices for himself rather than being toldwhat to do.
另一個方面，結局讓這本書在閱讀時更加有趣。結局有兩種可能的含義，讀者可以選擇它的意義：無論約拿斯在雪橇上凍死，又或者他真的找到了“別處”。結局向我們展示，無論發生什麼，約拿斯都是為自己做出選擇，而不是被告知該做什麼。
