Speech for the Giver

Speech for The Giver

In The Giver by Lois Lowry, the main character, Jonas lives in this community where when you turn 12 years old, your career is decided for you. The choice is based on where you volunteer your time like distributing food or helping old people and a bunch of other jobs. When Jonas turns 12 his job is to be the receiver and the receiver has to hold all the memories of the world from pain of starvation to surfing on the ocean. My prediction is that Jonas’ work will become his whole life. First because the giver is the same way saying that: “that this is my life” referring to his job to tell Jonas how much of his life his job is. My second reason is because Jonas can’t tell his friends or family about his job so, no one else knows what he does. The last reason is that since he can’t share anything with anyone he can’t tell his friends about anything so he might lose his friends and have only his job.
