The Giver: Setting speech

In my book The Giver the setting is the community that Jonas, Fiona, and Asher live in. In the community there are many different things that separate it from the real world. If you where a twin in the community then of the two twins the one that weighed less would be killed. In the community no one could see color or feel emotion because of how the government acted. The only one who could see color was the receiver of knowledge.

In the story the plot is greatly affected by the setting because without the setting the plot wouldn’t make sense. The reason for this is because if the setting was the school then you can see how it would be weird.

Then if Jonas weren’t the receiver then we would have a completely different view on the story. They would have different friends with different assigned jobs and many other things.
