Lois Lowry:
Hi Ms. Lowry, I am an educator in Japan at a high school and college. You have mentioned how Shibuya is like "Elsewhere" beyond the community of the Giver. When you wrote about the conformist society of The Giver (everyone dressed the same, etc.), did you have Japan in mind? Who then, are the Elders? The LDP?

Lois Lowry:
Thank you so much for the Giver! The world has changed so much since you first wrote it. Now, the younger generation is being separated by cell phones & the internet, losing actual human contact w/ one another. Do you think we, as a society, are moving towards a place where we stop feeling and being innately human? And what's your advice to get us back to that place of human interaction/togetherness?
