Unhappiness. Logical decisions were made in the past, decisions that involved giving up some good things in order to be rid of the terrible things. In this perfect world, twelve-year-old children are given their life assignments at the Ceremony of Twelve. Jonas is shocked, and confused, when he is chosen to be the new Receiver of Memories, a mysterious position of honor held by only one person at a time.
He is trained by the previous Receiver, now called the Giver. The training consists of transferring to him memories of a past. These include horrbile realities such as war, hunger, and disease. However, they also include life's wonderments, such as color, weather, and strong emotions. Gradually Jonas comes to understand, and resent, the choices that had to be made to create this world, and the terrible secrets behind its perfection.

Classroom Uses and Comments: Class room discussions can focus on moral dilemas, the need for a greater good, isolation (Jonas), and symbolism used throughout the book.

Characters: Jonas, the Giver, Jonas' family, the 'society'

Censorship: Euthenasia (both young and old)

Selection Criteria: I. Author Lois Lowry

Reflection: I loved this book. I thought it was clever, yet simple and flowed easily. It reminded me of another more recent series - The City of Ember. Both books looked at a perfect world, and what it costs us for perfection. So often, in our current world, people strive for perfection ... the perfect relationship, the perfect kids, the perfect home, the perfect carreer. This story helps us reflect on what we give up to achieve this perfection.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
