I overall enjoyed the book. I'm not a huge fan of reading(or doing anything), but the book was short and kept building up to the Climax. One of the bigger things that affected me from the book were perspective. I have few perspectives from others when it comes to multiple occasions. Such as politics, wealth, death of loved ones and much more. I learned that having multiple perspectives can change your opinion, and thoughts about someone or something. I think if others were to read The Giver they could not only pull this out from the book, but also memory. Memorizing something can be as small as remembering to let the dog in, or as big as failures and success from past experiences.
I can somewhat relate to The Giver and Jonas The Receiver of Memory, as well as the community. I can relate to the community because they're being controlled and forced (although they don't know it) to do certain things they do not necessarily have to do. While me being forced as a teen to show up to school. I relate to the Giver because the Giver is stressed since he holds so many memories that are cringe worthy as well as extremely painful to have, such as the war memory that was given to Jonas. I'm always stressed because I procrastinate and get things done at the last minute (like this project). I can relate to Jonas when he was sitting at the table and he had to listen to all of his family's experiences they had ran into during the day and being forced to stay. My parents make me do the same, listen to my sisters day at school, my dads day at work and my mom complaining that the animals were being loud while she was trying to sleep after or during we eat dinner.
