📖 題組：
The Giver is a story about a young boy called Jonas who lives in a society free of crime, suffering and sadness. There is no color, music or emotion, and individuality is prohibited. Everything is chosen; from your parents to your partner. At 12, children are assigned their jobs, which they will train for and do for the rest of their lives. Jonas is assigned to become the new Receiver of Memory, also known as the Giver. The Receiver holds all the bad and good memories of the past. In other words, no one in the community has any memory of humankind's history. The storyline is complex enough to hold the attention of both young and old readers. The development of Jonas from a scared boy to someone willing to risk his future to save the community is enjoyable to follow. The story prompts us to reflect on the path of growing up. At first we are scared to accept that there are new responsibilities, but as we slowly get used to it, we want to move more and more away from childhood. What's also impressive is Jonas' loss of trust in his father. At the beginning, Jonas believes his parents completely. However, after the current Receiver shows Jonas the tape of his father killing and disposing of a new born child, Jonas loses his admiration of his father. This moment is what forces Jonas to leave the community. It is symbolic of the change from the innocent mind of a child into the questioning and educated mind of an adult. The ending is another aspect which makes this book interesting to read. There are two possible meanings behind the ending and readers have a choice in what it means: either Jonas freezes to death on the sled, or he has really found "Elsewhere." The ending shows us that, whatever happens, Jonas has made choices for himself rather than being told what to do.

請試著思考：一個社會如果剝奪了人民所有的選擇權、記憶以及情感表達，並且由少數人決定你的一生，這在文學創作中通常是用來呈現一種理想的「烏托邦」，還是反映出一種令人不安的、灰暗的人為虛擬世界？

同學你好！這題考查的是對「文章主旨」與「文學類型」的整體掌握。別灰心，我們一起來釐清觀念：
1. 迷思破解：為何 (C) 不正確？
你會選 (C) Ghost story (鬼故事)，可能是受 "Receiver of Memory" 等字眼影響，誤以為涉及超自然靈異。但文中強調的是「社會制度」（society/community）對人性的壓抑，並未提及任何鬼魂或靈異現象。
