I'm listening to this because I love this book. Trust me, when you grow up you'll realize this is an amazing story and not just something to do for a school project.
Dear Chutney Bucket, With all due respect, the book 'The Giver' is a racially motivated attack at the Southern Italian population of Australia. There are several horrific homophobic themes throughout, and I was honestly flabbergasted when reading the 'releasing' of the babies, which brought me to my knees in tears. I think you need to strongly consider getting in touch with me Chutney, as I am eager to further discuss this book in the mix of the pack. I would love to set-up an interview, and 'vent' my thoughts on this book. Cheers, Oswaldo Gimp
Not reading for school. I am a retired school psychologist and am reading it because it is profound. I listen to audiobooks because I am handicapped now and have difficulty with hard copy. I wish I could read hard copy easily as I once did. I prefer holding the book and turning the pages.
It’s not the same is it!! I loved reading but suffer with poor eyesight and whilst listening to audio book is a blessing I get “bored” if that makes sense. When reading your hands are holding and turning, your eyes are reading and your brain is engaged. It’s three dimensional. Listening is one dimensional, your eyes are looking at something else and your hands are redundant too it’s just not the same. I used to love be getting into bed early and settling down to a good book but now, because I still need it to be three dimensional I listen whilst doing the ironing or tidying so my hands and eyes are busy too. Or I love listening in the dark at night because my brain excepts that it’s just listening…… but I fall asleep and have to start over the following night. That’s the beauty of short stories 😂
Listening to an audio of the book helps you stay focused so when you're distracted, you don't stop reading it, so you cant get distracted. Perfect voice for the narrations! 1:-)
My language arts teacher: Today we are reading _The Giver_ and we will have a test on it! My inside self: But I don't have the book! My language arts teacher: You can also listen to the audiobook on RUclips at home. That's why I'm here watching/listening this
I remember reading this book when I was "an 11" and I still remember using my imagination to envision their community. As I listen to this today, I still remember (and am taken back) to that same world and exactly how I remembered it. Reading the text will help imprint the story into your mind much more so than listening to the story, I'm here to refresh my recollection and it really "takes you back." And that's why today's youth should read this book in print form first.
I agree. I read this book when I was around 12 years old as it was part of the school curriculum. It's so different listening to it now at 18 years of age! And nostalgic!
Homeschool mom, I assigned it to my son but had never read it. Thankful for this recording as I am out of extra minutes to read. Thank you so much. Good story. Much to think about.
Ppl who can actually sit the freak down, focus,and not take bathroom breaks and no eating. Not me. I finished a tiny book in like a month cuz i put off a book report for freshman year. :/ :3 #Procrastination #Quarantine Life
For anyone in the future with a similar problem, focus on a mindless task, like general cleaning, doing the dishes, or the laundry, occupy your hands and allow your mind to just listen as if you’re listening to get your mind off of the other task. As long as it’s a time consuming, repetitive task where you’d rather not do, it’s the perfect thing to keep your hands and body busy and your mind focused on listening. You’ll be 4 chapters into it before you even realize it.
Try doing something else whilst listening, I do ironing, tidying or driving. I also find it hard to just sit n listen. I was an avid book reader and have read probably over a thousand and it’s much easier to sit and read as opposed to listening because your hands and eyes are busy too and I find it near impossible to just sit and just listen whilst my hands and eyes sit idol😂 however it’s the easiest way to complete tasks when you’re listening to an audiobook, it also helps to quiet a busy mind or counter depression because it’s your mind that’s busy and your eyes n hands will welcome the task. It also helps massively with worry or anger because doing chores helps you to listen and listening helps you forget your woes long enough to give your brain and emotions a rest. Listening whilst walking is also a great way to concentrate on the story, whilst relieving the brain of worry n stress, the exercise is an added bonus too.
I hope whoever’s listening to this for school is enjoying it. Wish I had this option back then - maybe I did, but the concept of audiobooks eluded my 12 year old brain. Now I’m “a 28” and just randomly remembered this book and wanted to read (or rather, listen) to it again.

7th Grade English. 2007-2008 10 damn years ago we had to read this. I understood the story, but not the subtle nuances and the oddity of this dystopian world. It never occured to me what kind of hell it would be to live in it.
The Giver, a mesmerizing work of literature by Lois Lowry, stands as a true masterpiece that evokes profound questions about society, individuality, and the boundaries of human experience. With its richly woven narrative, this dystopian tale takes readers on a spellbinding journey through a meticulously crafted world that leaves an indelible mark on the imagination. Set in a seemingly utopian society, the story focuses on twelve-year-old Jonas, a boy chosen to receive memories of the past from the community's wise yet enigmatic Elder, the Giver. The novel unfolds as Jonas embarks on his training, delving into the depths of an extraordinary gift of knowledge that reveals both the beauty and cruelty of the human experience. Lowry's writing captivates from the very first page, painting a vivid picture of a society stripped of emotions, where individual choices are limited, and conformity is paramount. Her prose is simple yet profound, allowing readers to feel an intimate connection with Jonas and the struggles he faces as he questions the very foundation of the world he thought he knew. The depth of character development in "The Giver" is truly remarkable. Jonas evolves from an innocent and naive child to a young individual awakened to the true meaning of life, love, and the importance of human connection. The supporting characters, including Jonas' best friend Asher, his love-interest Fiona, and the wise and mysterious Giver himself, add layers of complexity and humanity to the narrative, making each interaction and revelation all the more significant. What sets this novel apart is Lowry's ability to tackle profound and thought-provoking themes. She scrutinizes the inherent dangers of a society that seeks to eliminate pain, fear, and choice, ultimately questioning the loss of human identity that comes with such total control. Lowry masterfully exposes the consequences of a world devoid of color, art, music, and individualism, leaving readers grappling with the fundamental questions of what it truly means to be alive. While "The Giver" primarily resonates with the young adult audience, its themes and messages transcend age. The novel encourages readers to reflect upon their own society and consider the importance of individuality, free will, and the power of memory. In conclusion, Lois Lowry's "The Giver" is a brilliant and thought-provoking masterpiece that casts a spell on readers, prompting us to question the very fabric of our existence. Lowry's elegant prose and deeply engaging characters lead us on an unforgettable journey, causing us to contemplate our own beliefs and values. This book deserves a place among the finest works of dystopian literature, leaving a lasting impact on all those fortunate enough to embark on its profoundly moving pages.
I was in high school when i was assigned this book, and i barely cared about it at that time but once i finished the book and understood it, it automatically became my most fav book EVER. I thank my teachers today for having me read this in school, i am 28 today and still love this book, read its sequels, watched the movie. Ahhh its beautiful. I actually came on this to help me fall asleep💜
is anyone else here sad that all the comments are about whether or not people are listening to this book because its for school or just for fun, and not talking about how good it is?
I read this book in school and then watched the movie. This book/movie was amazing and life changing. If you have read it or watched it and you think it wasn’t good, listen to this. Imagine the world without color or emotions. The world would be joyless, no love, no beauty... If you haven’t read or watched The Giver, please listen to this audio book here and watch the movie. This book changed my life to not take things for granted. This changed my life. I hope it changes your too. And also... don’t take things for granted! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@mr.eeee3eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee837 i never read scythe! looks like it came out after i graduated highschool, i'll have to check it out. i know it's sterotypical but i loved almost all of ray bradbury and h.g. well's books lol.. and i was in school while the hunger games came out so that era is a big memory of mine.. one that's not as common that i loved was this one called "the windup girl", it's more scifi than dystopia but it came out around the time i was reading a lot of this stuff and it always stuck with me. most of the ones i started with were older than i am tho lol so def dig thru the classics if u haven't already.
I rarely have favorites, but I would say this is my favorite book. It's a wonderful commentary on holding "security" over "freedom" while also being a reminder of the beauty that exists in the world from both pain and joy. It is very calming for me to read. Every time I read it, I am left feeling content, hopeful, and inspired.
Wow! WAKE UP! THIS IS HELL ON EARTH DESCRIBED IN THIS PROPAGANDA PIECE! Exactly where "they" are pushing the world right now....through "safety".....from the latest boogeyman!!!!
@@kellyanneree3252 Not sure, but I think you may have misunderstood my perspective. To put it plainly, one man who stopped lying could bring down tyranny, which is inspiring and calming. Freedom over security any day, that's where the true beauty is, as shown in the book.
Full disclosure, I am not doing this for school. I am over 50 and have never read this book. So I’m reading it aloud to my daughter & granddaughter and listening to it occasionally while cooking or eating. Cheers 🥂
Kids this is one of the best books you will ever read in school and deals with bigger issues than you might understand or be interested in at this time. Many parents have tried to get this book banned for dealing with real issues. I don't expect you to be interested in every book you read in school but you should know that books are not homework or tests. You should be curious and want to read and learn and talk about it.
Honestly, I did this for a school thing, and I still genuinely love it. I love how the righting is quick, and things move on at such a nice pace. And I love how they still fit enough expressive writing to make you feel the way the characters feel. Lois Lowry is amazing!
Everyone here is saying how they were forced to read this book, I was too but this is honestly the best books I have ever read! Great job whoever read this :)

7th Grade English. 2007-2008 10 damn years ago we had to read this. I understood the story, but not the subtle nuances and the oddity of this dystopian world. It never occured to me what kind of hell it would be to live in it.
Aaron Stammerjuan I’m in 7th grade now and we have to read this.
Same xD
Yes i have too read this for 7th grade for a summer project it’s due in a week im o ly in chapter 13 and still have to write my paper
i’m in 8th and we are reading this in class lmao
You didnt? That was the whole point in us reading it. When we read it that's all our teacher did was hammer into our minds the point of this book
Is anyone else here because there literature teacher told them to read the book but u didn't feel like it?x
JakeThe Snake yeah
Jake D hahaha that’s just it
Yup
yep
DON'T LIKE THIS. KEEP IT AT 69
When you've read the book over 20 times but parts of it still make you uneasy and make you feel awkward. This is what is happening right now
No. It is happening NOW.
Thanks so much, I had to read this for school and this made it so much easier!!!

For real
This is a really good reading, I love the emotion and how it wasn’t monotone. Very nice !!
The Giver, a mesmerizing work of literature by Lois Lowry, stands as a true masterpiece that evokes profound questions about society, individuality, and the boundaries of human experience. With its richly woven narrative, this dystopian tale takes readers on a spellbinding journey through a meticulously crafted world that leaves an indelible mark on the imagination.
Set in a seemingly utopian society, the story focuses on twelve-year-old Jonas, a boy chosen to receive memories of the past from the community's wise yet enigmatic Elder, the Giver. The novel unfolds as Jonas embarks on his training, delving into the depths of an extraordinary gift of knowledge that reveals both the beauty and cruelty of the human experience.
Lowry's writing captivates from the very first page, painting a vivid picture of a society stripped of emotions, where individual choices are limited, and conformity is paramount. Her prose is simple yet profound, allowing readers to feel an intimate connection with Jonas and the struggles he faces as he questions the very foundation of the world he thought he knew.
The depth of character development in "The Giver" is truly remarkable. Jonas evolves from an innocent and naive child to a young individual awakened to the true meaning of life, love, and the importance of human connection. The supporting characters, including Jonas' best friend Asher, his love-interest Fiona, and the wise and mysterious Giver himself, add layers of complexity and humanity to the narrative, making each interaction and revelation all the more significant.
What sets this novel apart is Lowry's ability to tackle profound and thought-provoking themes. She scrutinizes the inherent dangers of a society that seeks to eliminate pain, fear, and choice, ultimately questioning the loss of human identity that comes with such total control. Lowry masterfully exposes the consequences of a world devoid of color, art, music, and individualism, leaving readers grappling with the fundamental questions of what it truly means to be alive.
While "The Giver" primarily resonates with the young adult audience, its themes and messages transcend age. The novel encourages readers to reflect upon their own society and consider the importance of individuality, free will, and the power of memory.
In conclusion, Lois Lowry's "The Giver" is a brilliant and thought-provoking masterpiece that casts a spell on readers, prompting us to question the very fabric of our existence. Lowry's elegant prose and deeply engaging characters lead us on an unforgettable journey, causing us to contemplate our own beliefs and values. This book deserves a place among the finest works of dystopian literature, leaving a lasting impact on all those fortunate enough to embark on its profoundly moving pages.
Chat gpt much?

Legend. You legend
I was in high school when i was assigned this book, and i barely cared about it at that time but once i finished the book and understood it, it automatically became my most fav book EVER. I thank my teachers today for having me read this in school, i am 28 today and still love this book, read its sequels, watched the movie. Ahhh its beautiful. I actually came on this to help me fall asleep💜

Thx
Almost fell asleep but this is so much easier than actually reading it my self
Me to 😂😂😂😂
is anyone else here sad that all the comments are about whether or not people are listening to this book because its for school or just for fun, and not talking about how good it is?
ikr
I read this book in school and then watched the movie. This book/movie was amazing and life changing. If you have read it or watched it and you think it wasn’t good, listen to this. Imagine the world without color or emotions. The world would be joyless, no love, no beauty... If you haven’t read or watched The Giver, please listen to this audio book here and watch the movie. This book changed my life to not take things for granted. This changed my life. I hope it changes your too. And also... don’t take things for granted! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Gia Pirozzi bruv
You must have serious dedication to read a book for that long
It's not dedication, people are paid to do this.
there are most likely pauses and breaks in between 🤔
@@emilinna7223 yeah, and then they just put the different chapters into one long video/audio clip
@@emilinna7223 of course there are lol
read this in 4th grade and it started my obsession with dystopian and utopian novels/movies lol
I’ve actually been getting into more Dystopian novels, I’ve read the Scythe Trilogy already. Do you have any recommendations?
@@mr.eeee3eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee837 i never read scythe! looks like it came out after i graduated highschool, i'll have to check it out.
i know it's sterotypical but i loved almost all of ray bradbury and h.g. well's books lol.. and i was in school while the hunger games came out so that era is a big memory of mine..
one that's not as common that i loved was this one called "the windup girl", it's more scifi than dystopia but it came out around the time i was reading a lot of this stuff and it always stuck with me.
most of the ones i started with were older than i am tho lol so def dig thru the classics if u haven't already.
@@callanrose ight thanks for the help man I’ll definitely check those books out
Who else is reading the book for summer reading???
Just put it off to the end and listen to the audio book 😂😂😂
wait what school do you go to I'm going to stpa
Lucy Ritter ME RN
Lucy Ritter I have an exam on it ekkekek
my school starts in a couple days and i’m listening to this 🥶

I rarely have favorites, but I would say this is my favorite book. It's a wonderful commentary on holding "security" over "freedom" while also being a reminder of the beauty that exists in the world from both pain and joy. It is very calming for me to read. Every time I read it, I am left feeling content, hopeful, and inspired.
hello can you pls explain the book al little bit i dont understand the book
TheDeliuxii I will always chose dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery!!
I agree. It's one of my favourites. Takes a deep perspective to like these kinds of books.
Wow! WAKE UP! THIS IS HELL ON EARTH DESCRIBED IN THIS PROPAGANDA PIECE! Exactly where "they" are pushing the world right now....through "safety".....from the latest boogeyman!!!!
@@kellyanneree3252 Not sure, but I think you may have misunderstood my perspective. To put it plainly, one man who stopped lying could bring down tyranny, which is inspiring and calming. Freedom over security any day, that's where the true beauty is, as shown in the book.
Full disclosure, I am not doing this for school. I am over 50 and have never read this book. So I’m reading it aloud to my daughter & granddaughter and listening to it occasionally while cooking or eating. Cheers 🥂
I am reading for the 1st time as middle school teacher ~ ( I am looking forward to it ! )
lol, Lilly be like "WHAT IF" "WHAT IF" "WHAT IF" "WHAT IF"
Payton Trueman haha yeah!
They haven't stamped it out of her yet. Worry not, they'll make her dead inside like the rest of em soon enough.

Don’t you look at a comment and say in your head “I wish I commented that”
Yeah yeah yeah yeah like that I'll ever happen
Well this is a stolen comment so you must of thought about it on that comment :/

I wish I had commented that
I wish I said that
Everybody: iM tO lAzY tO rEAd
Me: i just left my book at home-
I left mine at school and im sick today
I just realized that this is a dystopian society
Great -Galizien Mapper how just how. Also did you read the next three books in the story line
Duh
Wait, you mean the society in the book, or the society WE live in?
I listen to this to fall asleep. A decade and going strong
so are just not gonna talk about how 20% of the story is just about Jonas being horny 😭💀
Fr😭😭
Who else is too dam old for school but listening to this because we want to.....
Queen Alice Kingsley so good, right?
I love this book, I was made to read it in middle school but hated it. Over time it has become a comfort of mine.
I had to read it for school... I avoided it till the night before the test and wound up reading it twice that night... I fell in love with the story!
Kids this is one of the best books you will ever read in school and deals with bigger issues than you might understand or be interested in at this time. Many parents have tried to get this book banned for dealing with real issues. I don't expect you to be interested in every book you read in school but you should know that books are not homework or tests. You should be curious and want to read and learn and talk about it.
I enjoy the music played during certain parts it’s so awesome sauce 😍
wait am I the only one *not doing it for school* but bc I like reading?-
I think you might be, person with the yohan pfp
this was the only 7th grade book i will ever re read/ im playing minecraft while listening to this lol
Honestly, I did this for a school thing, and I still genuinely love it. I love how the righting is quick, and things move on at such a nice pace. And I love how they still fit enough expressive writing to make you feel the way the characters feel. Lois Lowry is amazing!
I never thought I’d like a story a teacher told me to read but this story is actually good
I ordered the whole sequel lol

THANK YOU
I've always loved this book especially when I first read it in school I was so happy when I finally found a real copy, I read it almost every day!
Maybe my class will see this! HI CLASS :) - Jadalyn Root after reading chapter 12 and doing the Jamboard

SAME I LITERALLY LOVE THIS
I'm reading it for sleep
God damn. When I first read this book, I was heavily disappointed by the ending.
same it wasn't as amazing as I thought it was gonna be.
Well, it isn't the end. There are three more.
99.99% of people are using this for school and 0.00000000000000001% of people actully like this book.
Well I guess Im in the minority
Me too.
.000001% of people die from CoronaVirus and they use it as an excuse to turn our world into this one.
I’m both
This is way happens when humans deny life itself and what feeling do for us... like keeping us sat and not murdering everyone
