As I promised in the first video, in this second video I will be talking about one of 00:00:00
my favorite novels of all time and one of my favorite dystopian novels as well, which 00:00:05
is The Giver by Lois Lowry. 00:00:10
This novel tells the story of a dystopian society by following around the protagonist. 00:00:12
So the main character, his name is Jonas and he's a 12-year-old boy and you basically see 00:00:20
his life in this society, and you figure out things about this society as Jonas figures them 00:00:26
out as well. In general, the society in which Jonas lives is one that tried to get rid of pain and 00:00:32
suffering. So they were trying to get rid of pain and suffering by using a thing that they call 00:00:39
sameness. So what they do is they take away all difference. You don't, no one in the society has 00:00:43
any choices, so their jobs are assigned, their partners, you know, their husbands or wives 00:00:49
are assigned they're assigned children so they don't have children naturally there are no emotions 00:00:54
they take pills so that they don't feel hatred envy annoyance or any positive emotions they 00:01:01
also don't feel love or fondness or anything like that and they even live in a world that is black 00:01:07
and white so there's no color at all either there's just no difference at all I think that 00:01:14
as a society they were originally trying to take away difference for a good reason but there are 00:01:19
a lot of problems that come with taking away that difference and I won't spoil anything but 00:01:26
the novel really gets into the things that the society is missing out on because they have 00:01:31
sameness and they're living with this sameness. In terms of why I like it other than the reasons 00:01:38
that I like every dystopian novel. I really like that the language isn't too complex or 00:01:45
difficult to read. So I first read The Giver when I was 11 or 12 years old. And I most 00:01:50
recently read it a year ago when I was 23, probably. And the ideas are complex, but the 00:01:59
language itself is also really accessible. It's really easy to read and understand, which 00:02:07
I really like and I've gotten a different perspective out of it every time that I've 00:02:12
read it which I think is really cool as a novel that you can have different realizations and 00:02:17
understandings the more times you read it so I really really enjoy that if you are interested 00:02:22
I would really recommend reading the book there is also a movie that I think is on Netflix 00:02:28
which I would recommend watching after reading the book they change a few big things from the book 00:02:33
from the original story and I do have some personal uh some personal issues with some of 00:02:40
the big things that they change but I think it's really interesting to read the novel and then 00:02:48
watch the movie to see how the writers of the movie and the directors of the movie tried to 00:02:53
represent the book and to maybe think about ways that they were successful in representing the book 00:02:59
and the ideas and the moral of that original story 00:03:04
and maybe ways that they were less successful 00:03:09
in their interpretation of it. 00:03:11
So yes, that is one of my favorite novels 00:03:13
and I really, really recommend it. 00:03:15
