Welcome back to the Pleonastic podcast!
In this episode join us as we wrap up reading Lois Lowry's 1993 young adult dystopian novel The Giver.
Lois WTF is the main thing on our mind as we continue our discussion on how the community of The Giver is the perfect environment for the questionable things occurring without resistance from its inhabitants. We also see Jonas transition from a beta to a chad.
Oh and we also talk about how the book ends. Check the end of the description for a list of trigger warnings.
A lot of child suffering in this book, guys.
Enjoy the Episode!
P.S. Darwin's microphone got stolen again by The Entity, so in this episode he is actually shouting in real time to you personally and that is why he sounds different. A friendly owl returned the microphone, again, so in the next book he will sound normal. Thank you for understanding.
