The Giver By: Lois Lowry
In many works of literature, a character has a significant influence on another character. Lois Lowry demonstrated this concept in The Giver.

No person could see color, feel neither hatred nor love; no one had a choice in either occupation or education.

Only one person knew about life as we know it society today. In the community, that person was known as the ?Receiver?; the one and only person in the entire community that had any memory of the past; love, war, peace, family, work etc. Since he soon aged, it became necessary t find a new ?Receiver? to whom these memories could be transmitted.
