The Giver

           They lack empathy because they dont have emotions for them selfs or others. I think they lack empathy because they dont remember anything that has happened in the pass or to other people because they dont have memories all they know is that they have a perfect life but little do they know there life is limited to meny options they can't have a fun time in the sun or play in the snow. When it's winter they can't expereamce holidays or even there birthday they only get to learn a new job about what they will do when they are an adult. sometimes when the family has twins they weight both of the babies and the one that weights the less they put him or her to sleep (or kill them) by injecting a tiny needle to the fourhead that kills them but yet the dad or mom feels no pain they just say so long little one. that is why they lack empathy.
