All About Lois Lowry:

Lois Lowry was born March 20, 1937 in Hawaii to Robert and Katharine Hammersberg. Her father was an Army dentist and the family lived all over the world.

They settled in Maine, where she returned to college and received her degree from the University of Southern Maine. Lois Lowry fulfilled a childhood dream when she began writing in the mid-1970's. Now divorced, she lives in West Cambridge with her dog, Bandit, and spends weekends in her 19th century farmhouse in New Hampshire.

All About The Giver By Lois Lowry :

This opens a novel in which a boy inhabits a seemingly ideal world: a world without conflict, poverty, unemployment, divorce, injustice, or inequality. It is a time in which family values are paramount, teenage rebellion is unheard of, and even good manners are a way of life.

December is the time of the annual Ceremony at which each twelve year old receives a life assignment determined by the Elders. Jonas watches his friend Fiona named Caretaker of the Old and his cheerful pal Asher labeled the Assistant Director of Recreation. But Jonas has been chosen for something special. When his selection leads him to an unnamed man -the man called only the Giver -he begins to sense the dark secrets that underlie the fragile perfection of his world.

Told with deceptive simplicity, this is the provocative story of a boy who experiences something incredible and undertakes something impossible. In the telling it questions every value we have taken for granted and reexamines our most deeply held beliefs.

Your definition IN YOUR WORD: a society in my words is a group of people helping eachother to make the community better.

CREATE A SOCIETY OF YOURS. WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE? My society would be very peaceful. There would be no war. All the countries and people would get along with eachother. No one would get into fights. So basicly there would be no drama. Also there would be no homless, or hungry people in the world. Everyone would be generous. The world would be clean and no polution. Iwould manage no pollution by haveing people recycle, and it would be a law that yuo have to get your car fixed so theres no smoke going into the atmosphere. I would stop war by no fighting woth other countries, and make peace agreements with them.
