Do you think that America is headed toward a world like in The Giver?

Lois Lowry Could be! The GIver serves as a warning, I think

More Answered Questions

A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Lois Lowry:

As an author whose work has become so integrated into wider American culture, I have wondered: what are your thoughts on how your fans have interpreted The Giver? Is there anything that you wish they had taken from the story that they seem to have missed? Is there anything that surprises or annoys you?

A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Lois Lowry:

How much influence did you have regarding the actor/actresses that were chosen for the movie The Giver?

Jared
Jared asked Lois Lowry:

Considering that Jonas has his friends and all, how would the society work with cliques and such? After all, if he has his group, wouldn't there naturally be other, more lonely people? Would that challenge the Sameness and order of society, or - craziest option - psychologically channeled into working groups, brainwashing people who wouldn't really be friends?
