Hmm, well nothing is in color, so that would be a dead giveaway. Also, every person is wearing the same clothing (tunics) and the children also wear the same clothing (depending on their year) and everyone rides bicycles, not cars. Every family unit has 4 people, so never draw more than 4 people in a family. There is never snow or rain or cold or hot, so do not draw it in a seasonal way.

In a world with no poverty, no crime, no sickness and no unemployment, and where every family is happy, 12-year-old Jonas is chosen to be the community's Receiver of Memories. Under the tutelage of the Elders and an old man known as the Giver, he discovers the disturbing truth about his utopian world and struggles against the weight of its hypocrisy. With echoes of Brave New World, in this 1994 Newbery Medal winner, Lowry examines the idea that people might freely choose to give up their humanity in order to create a more stable society. Gradually Jonas learns just how costly this ordered and pain-free society can be, and boldly decides he cannot pay the price. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

I always pictured one of those McMansion-type developments that keep springing up in the suburbs -- you know, the kind where all the houses look alike and there are barely any trees. Except I pictured it with smaller houses and in black-and-white.

i read this book in eighth grade. The setting in the book,in the beginning, seems to be a utopia but as the book goes on you can see that its becoming anti-utopia

well there's no color, right?
So i'm thinking it's just like... one big sidewalk (not with divisions, just one big thing of it) and whitish/grey buildings in a minimalist but modern style. Like.. not too fancy but lots of big windows.
Maybe there's grass but it's dark gray.
and like... lights on the ground or like... signaling poles (it's definitely been like... 7 years since i've read this book)
