This Book belongs in the same class as 1984, Brave New World,
By A Customer
This review is from: El dador (Paperback)
this book is a fabulous tool for teaching students about theattempt to perfect society, to take out the human factor fromrelationships. I find the ending, which leaves it up to the reader to decide what happens to Jonas and Gabriel to be an invaluable way to engage students in the critical thinking process. When my students are finished with this book they are drained emotionally. So am I. Ms. Lowry has written a modern classic that is for all ages, not just children.

The Giver, Spanish,

This review is from: El dador (Paperback)
I strongly recommend El Dador (The Giver) by Lois Lowry in Spanish as it is a wonderful translation of the original piece of Lois Lowry. El Dador gives the reader a clear and concise picture of The Giver for the ones that are not English speakers/readers. It was a great experience for my husband to read El dador as he does not know English and my son was asked to read The Giver in English and thanks to El Dador the whole family had the opportunity to enjoy such a master piece, The Giver or El dador, across both languages, English and Spanish. El Dador presents a utopian society in which all citizens in this community live sameness as an unquestionable standard living procedure. The whole plot of El Dador (The Giver) portrays the life of a twelve year old boy named Jonas who is given the assignment of the receiver of memories of his community. Once Jonas receives all kind of memories from the Giver he starts regretting of his community being deprived from having feelings and wonderful memories. After deep questioning Jonas takes a decision that you need to read the book to feel it. Do not take away the opportunity to read El Dador or The Giver on either language. If you give yourself the chance to read El Dador you will derive once in a million experience.
