Lois Lowry’s book, The Giver, was first published in the United States in 1993. The story is a work of dystopian fiction for children. The word dystopian is used to describe an unfair society filled with great suffering. The main character of the story is a 12-year-old boy named Jonas, who lives in a community of Sameness. In this community, there is no diversity, color, or climate. There is no pain, but also no joy. Everyone is equal, and everyone is the same.
露薏絲．勞瑞的書《記憶傳承人》在 1993 年首次於美國出版。這則故事是寫給孩童的一部反烏托邦小說。反烏托邦這個詞被用來描述一個充滿巨大苦難的不公平社會。這則故事的主角是一個叫做喬納思的十二歲男孩，他住在「同化」社區裡。在這個社區，沒有多樣性、顏色或氣候。沒有痛苦，但也沒有歡樂。每個人都是平等的，每個人都一樣。
