The Giver

Jonas and his family live in a utopia world. ((meaning a world which is perfect with no problems.))
His family consists of his mother, father, and Lily whom is a Nine. When someone turns nine, there's a ceremony for all the Nine's in the community. There all born the same day. So, there's the ceremony of the one's, two's, three's, four's, five's, six's, seven's, eight's, nine's, ten's, eleven's, and finally the twelve's. When every Twelve in the community turn twelve, they get their assignment. ((Their job.)) The society has lost all contact with family and love. Children are born to designated "Birthmothers" and then family unit's can apply for children. All the land near the Community and around the other, similar communities clustered about the nearby river has been flattened to aid agriculture and transportation. All animals have been removed (more than likely killed, although they do have meat from unknown sources) including the fish in the water, and they are only present as stuffed animals; but the society has no understanding of what they are, believing them to be simple non-existent objects (the word animal is used to describe a foolish person, with no understanding of the connection between the two). A vaguely described system of weather control is used so that the weather remains constant. It is implied that genetic engineering has been used extensively to manipulate human beings so that they are all colorblind, and physically conform with Sameness. They even have the same color eyes, as Jonas is seen as different because of his light colored eyes.The only noted exception to physical Sameness is people like Fiona who the Giver notes as having red hair. It is never explained how people in the community are able to identify each other. Jonas awaits for the Ceremony of Twelve's. He awaits to find out his assignment..
