Author's note: This is a piece I wrote about major conflicts in The Giver. All my information was gathered throughout the book and on our (Google Docs).
The book The Giver is a story told from one confused person's point of view. In the book The Giver, it is a "Perfect World." You come home from school or from your friend's house every night, and before dinner you and your family members will discuss the "Evening of Rituals." Now this might seem like crazy and weird thing, but it is not a real ritual. Basically what it means is before dinner you and your family members discuss some sort of emotional or physical event that happened in your day. This seems like a perfect world now, but there are many major conflicts, and one of them is Jonas the main character being selected to be the next receiver. Being the receiver means a couple things, you will not be able to live or stay in a relationship with anyone, which will probably cause psychotic reactions making him lonely and also having a severe pain within himself; this severe pain could cause suicidal action, or even the losing of the will to live.
