There were a few main characters in this book. Jonas was the type of character that seemed very down to Earth. He really didn't care what anyone thought about him. He didn't really like the community he lived in, he though it was weird. He didn't understand why they did some of the things they did in his community. His best friend was Asher. Asher was pretty much there for Jonas whenever he needed him. Jonas's parents were also main characters. His mom seemed like a pretty good parent as far as I know. They had to stick to the community rules so all the parents of every child was the same practically. His dad lied to him a lot when he asked him questions about his job and so on, because the rule was in the community that you weren't allowed to tell anyone about your job. The Giver was the guy who knew all the community memories and helped everyone out. He was also very down to Earth. The last main character was Gabriel. He was Jonas's little brother that was only a few months old. He slept in Jonas's room because Jonas could keep him quiet at night while everyone slept, by transferring memories to him.

In the Giver's office he had access to everything the community didn't. They couldn't even see color. They had no hills rivers or even storms. The community leaders thought it was best they didn't, but now that Jonas was the receiver and soon to be the Giver he had access to all the books and all the memories of things like sled riding and memories of pain and love, which the rest of the community didn't have.
