New Look: The Giver
Monday, May 12th, 2008
Have you ever read The Giver by Louis Lowry? I read this book when I was in the 7th grade, and I have to admit that it continues to be one of my favorite books in the world.
It’s one of those 1984 type books that talks about an anti-utopia. One where people are born and are immediately given their purpose in life. They have no dreams, they have no hope or desire for something different… and they don’t question their situation. That applies to all except “the giver”. The person who bares truth and knowledge. If you haven’t read this book before, I suggest you read it.
Anyway, the purpose of the post was to display Erin McGuire’s art thesis. She revamped the covers of selected books that deal with anti-utopias, which included The Giver. I, of course, saw this as my opportunity to finally try to get others to read this book. If you’d like to see some of Erin’s other book covers, check ‘em out at: Erin McBlog
