Imagine a grey community with rules and regulations....everything in order....even conversation so polite. There is no emotion, no feelings and no love...until a new receiver is named. The Giver and the Receiver strike like and love...different for both! Then colors and feelings arise which changes the way you see and hear things - people are not who you think, things you have been told are lies. So escape is the only way.........to what?
Freedom and feelings, emotions and where love is felt and music is heard for the first time.
I think of this as a government controlled society..everyone in their places doing what is expected of them but it's just routines with no substance of real life!!!!
