The Giver
By: Louis Lowery
The Giver is mostly person verses society. Jonas (and The Giver) are going against the government even though the government doesn't quite know it until the end. They secretly are plotting a plan to go against everything the government has made and give back the memories while The Giver still has energy to take care of the society afterwards. They hope that this will pull the people out of the 'perfect' world they've been given to live with and change it just enough that people will remember the love that they do not know.
The resolution I found was to be that Jonas would leave the town and set off to find another world and the farther they go the more memories are returned to the town. This for sure will send the town into chaos, so The Giver stays behind to help them through this. The government never found Jonas and never will. So, the resolution isn't the happiest, but if you think about it-these people live in a twisted world of secret murders. The Giver and Jonas' resolution was the best thing that could possibly happen. And hopefully the government will realize that.
