Wisdom is a difficult word to define. But in The Giver, Lois Lowry offers an answer. I think the author pointed out that one person who has wisdom knows a lot and he or she knows the best way to help people and wants to help people. The giver in the book is obviously a man who has lots of wisdom. When the Elders in the community asks him for some advice, he did that because he wants them not to make mistakes just like people did in the past. At last, he let Jonas escape because he knows that life in the community is not good for human. He always tries to do good things for people and he with Jonas was won. So I think in The Giver, the author pointed out that one man who has wistom wants to help people and he knows how to help the people.
