The Giver won the 1999 Newbery Medal and has sold more than 10 million copies. Sameness emphasizes the utopian qualities of the Community. The Community lacks any color perception, climate variation, or terrain depth variation (such as hills and valleys) all terrain is completely flat. Jonas learns the truth about his utopian society and struggles with its weight. Jonas is selected to inherit the position of Receiver of Memory, who stores all of the past memories of the time before Sameness, in case the memories that the others lack are ever needed to aid the community leaders, or Elders, in their decisions. The society has eliminated pain and strife by converting itself to "Sameness," a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives. The novel follows a boy, Jonas, in his twelfth and thirteenth years. The Giver is a 1993 American children's novel, generally for young adults or older, which is set in a society that is at first presented as a utopian society but gradually appears more and more dystopian.
