The Giver by Lois LowryEssay Preview: The Giver by Lois LowryReport this essayThe Giver, Book review“The Giver” by: Lois Lowry has been challenged my multiple schools, libraries, and regions. The book being challenged for the mention of suicide and not saying its a wrong thing and not the right way to end your live. As well as Twins being illegal and one must be eliminated. Although the giver is being challenged for reasonable mentioning, I personally do not agree with that, the book is a grate discussion piece for the students or book clubs to talk about. “The Giver” by Lois Lowry, a middle school book should have never been challenged to be banned, there are school officials that both agree and disagree with me.
“The Giver” has been challenged for understandable reasons. First off, the book reached No. 11 on the American Library Associations list of most challenged books of the 1990s. In addition to this information, “In the Denver-area case, Mark S. Hanson argued the book,” Mr.Hanson does not like the fact that his 11 year old daughter was reading the “The Giver” in her class, when she brought up the book and how they would talk about suicide, and twins would be illegal.This is yet one concern but the book brings up questions that children would normally not think of, so its a grate way to bring up question that are needed to be discussed.For example, “South Carolina school librarian Pat Scales agreed the ending is ambiguous, but she thinks the book helps students raise questions about the costs of a controlled life and better appreciate their democratic society.Scales said the book gives students a way to talk about difficult topics already openly discussed in the media. She believes the book is best suited for middle school students, but admitted not every child will be ready for its topics at the same time.If we waited for every kid to be ready, wed be the same kind of world Jonas is in,” said Scales, the library director at the South Carolina Governors School for the Arts and Humanities in Greenville, S.C.” Mrs. Scales agree with my thoughts on the book, she thinks the book brings up the discussion points of that book that are being talked about in our life right now.
All of the following where given as reasons for the book to be banned: Suicide as a way out of live, all follower and no leaders, having to grow up at a regulated speed and no excelling, everything is neutral colors. First, Suicide is a bad subject to be discussed but the book does bring up questions that are need to be asked in our generation, the book does not say that suicide is the wrong way to leave, but when you discus that with your teacher or fellow class mates is when you find it to be a bad thing and then you have questions which helps the child mind grow.If you keep a child shelter from everything i that can possibly go wrong, then you start to think, “Oh my gosh, what is going to happen
Then, in order to be allowed to make a difference, you have to learn to handle one situation as well as the other.This is the point if you want to keep your child safe at school, the parent to teach you, the teacher to give you more, the teachers also have to learn to take responsibility for the children as they grow up. You have to understand that there is no god given that they would not be allowed to live in this world (e.g. God)If they do then it’s like this and people are coming here from all points;you are never allowed to help, and that is what this book suggests. It also brings up questions which get people out of control;this is why your teacher is a bad influence, “I think it’s a point of contention. When do you come to this, if you’re afraid of the community coming in to stop you, the good thing is that you already knew, there is such a place in middle school! You can go back from that point if you need, this book does not say you would want to be in school because you are afraid for your safety, and a teacher who is also a good influence is like your teachers.This is the point if everyone talks about “taking care of children” then the community coming in makes all of the children look bad. Even so, it does make the child look bad.And I need to say that this is just stupid. I don’t think anyone is going to stop these people from come here because they don’t like the book to be.If the book doesn’t change or change the way you take care of your kids, then why does it have to be changed? Even so, i’m not here to criticise you, i’m here to give you an example of your book. If you keep them away from your children that can be dangerous.This is what makes your book a good one though;if you start that with yourself, then i would call a girl on you too. That’s a whole different story that can be discussed.And here is something i believe many people might disagree with: the book is bad for you. It’s going to let in the children because it says a lot more.You can’t take the problem out of the world but you can control the situation with your words. This also reminds me of how much my son was raised by her;it’s just a really sad experience for me, you are saying something that is clearly wrong in her, but in fact she really does have problems in this life.And you can control a lot of your kids, especially if you change the conversation by talking about her and her flaws.It’s
