THE GIVER
The Giver was written in 1993 and the likely inspiration behind subsequent book and movie franchises, The Hunger Games (2008) and Divergent (2011). It would also seem that M Night Shymalan's The Village (2004) took inspiration from Lois Lowry's book.
'The Giver' is about a society that has eliminated pain and suffering through 'sameness', by erasing feelings of jealousy, anger, and even love. The protagonist is introduced to these feelings and seeks to give them back to the rest of the society.
