The most memorable part of The Giver personally was the ending. Obviously the ending sticks with a lot of people, but I remember being so furious that we didn't get to see what happens afterwards that even years after reading it, I can never forget the book.

I think that one of the things that makes the Giver so memorable is that he fights against it. In the book the boy realizes that things are wrong. And then he starts to think and act against them. I love how it ends, and that it gives people a unique perspective on a different society.

The Giver is the ONLY book that I was forced to read that I enjoyed. It is one of my favorite books! I think one of the parts that struck me most was when his parents would rather say that they appreciate him or admire him rather than love him. Also, as others have said "releasing" people really bothered me when I first read it. I had never really heard about euthanasia or anything other than doing it to animals when there was nothing that could be done to save them. Realizing that in this seemingly perfect community, they were killing people and babies and it didn't seem to bother anyone except Jonas and the Giver. The book was very thought provoking for me and still is after re-reading it three times. It's fascinating to me how they thought that eliminating color and music etc. could ever be for the better. it terrifies me to think of a world like this, void of all emotion. I think that's what stuck out the most, how people can honestly think that what they're doing is right when it is so wrong.

For me. It's when Jonas starting to really notice things for the first time like the colours and music it's such a cool outlook on life ,makes you apreciate the little things.
