But is that kind of world good? \n\n\n\nJoin this club to read the futuristic classic\, The Giver—where you’ll follow along with Jonas as he is assigned the job to become his community’s receiver—the keeper of all memories… and learns that “the perfect community” may not be all that he believed it to be. You and your Literary Guide\, Ms. Conley\, will analyze the imagery\, themes\, and conflicts within the story—to explore the deeper meanings behind the text to discuss the novel’s themes of loss\, love\, and liberty. \n\n\n\nWhat Makes This Club Special \n\n\n\nIt’s a Classic. This book is a world-renowned classic—on many required reading lists as a shaper of culture\, critical thinking\, and future ideas. \n\n\n\nYour Guide is a Professional Writer/Author and Seasoned Online Instructor. Ms. Conley is a professional writer\, author\, educator\, and screenwriter who lived and worked in Hollywood—and when you sign up for this club\, you get a professional\, highly-skilled Guide who helps your teen explore reading on a deeper level—through both understanding story and how stories and books are written. With an educational and learning focus\, at the end of each class\, we’ll discuss “challenge words” (vocabulary) and be guided for what to look for\, as we prepare for the next week’s session and story to come. \n\n\n\nYour Guide\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobin Conley was born and raised in Michigan\, USA\, and earned a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in English and World Literature from Western Michigan University and a double Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in Screenwriting and Genre Fiction from Western Colorado University.

Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark\, complex secrets behind his fragile community. Lois Lowry has written three companion novels to The Giver\, including Gathering Blue\, Messenger\, and Son. \n\n\n\nAge Range – Young Adult (12 and up) \n\n\n\n\n\nParental Guidance\n\n\n\nThe Giver is a classic novel that explores what life would be like in a dystopian society where no one feels pain\, love\, sadness\, or loss except one chosen individual who keeps those memories for everyone.
