Examples Of Dystopia In The Giver

“‘I couldn’t quite get the word for the whole feeling of it, the feeling that was so strong in the room.’ ‘Love,’ The Giver told him” (Page 125). This shows words of the wiser because The Giver explains that love is what completes the feeling of family, and how great it feels. In the life that they are living, Jonas’ parents can’t say if they love him. They are unable to understand what that word means because they are in such a black and white world, where everything is the same. This next example shows us how Jonas wants to let other people

The Giver teaches us that love is essential to life. Jonas and the Giver demonstrate again and again how important it is, even though it’s forbidden. The Giver demonstrates love when he declares, “‘I love you Jonas’ he said. ‘But I have another place to go. When my work here is done, I want to be with my daughter’”(202). The Giver is saying goodbye to Jonas, he is practically telling Jonas he is going to finish the things he needs to, then The Giver is going to ask to be released. He says he loves Jonas and you can tell Jonas loves him too. He loves his family even though they don’t know how to love or what love is. He also loves Gabe, Jonas saves him from being ‘released’. Jonas feels accepted, loved, and at home when the giver tells him he

In the book, The Giver, by Lois Lowry, a young boy named Jonas lives in a community of Sameness, where all memories of color, joy, and sadness have been eliminated from the citizen’s daily lives, and where freedom of choice has been deemed, “definitely not safe”(Lowry 98). Suddenly, though, Jonas’s life spirals out of control when he becomes the Receiver of Memory. He is charged with the job of receiving all past occurrences, both good and bad. Finally, he decides that joy and love are emotions that need to be shared, and flees the community, resulting in the return of the memories. This dystopian setting puts many restrictions on available information, citizens’ personal lives, and changes the way deaths are handled, and is very different from the society in which we live.

In today’s society there are many authors who write dystopian novels. They write these novels to give knowledge and to tell how our world is very different from dystopian life. Lois Lowry shows readers how people can suffer in dystopian society. In The Giver, Jonas’ community appears to be a utopia, but in reality it is a dystopia because everyone is under the illusion that there is freedom, dehumanization, and their strict regulations.

Vinh 7B In the giver book, there is the a dystopian society. That community is a dystopian society because it is unfreedom society, The freedom in that community is restricted. That community is really bad with a lot of weird rules made by the leader of this community, Chief Elder. In the Giver, the community has an independent thought.

In The Giver, there is a dystopian community and there is a person responsible to hold the memories of the community, joyful and painful ones.They are called receiver of memory. They get heavily weighted and they feel stressed out because of this. It is inconsiderate that they have to hold memories for everyone in the community. Every person should be aware of what is happening and understand their past. They should also be able to decide things for themselves. Instead of having the chief elder deciding everything for them.

Having the dystopian fiction in our future would not be the best. If you have read The Giver, you might notice that it the community is controlled by rules. Almost as if it is dictated. Worse than the rules we have. For an example you can not show any kind of affection(holding hands) unless it is inside your family unit. Today's world you can, it just has to be appropriate. Of course not all the time is PDA accepted but it still happens.

The book the Giver, by Lois Lowry, is about a community that has no feelings, does not experience pain, and doesn’t know anything about the outside world. The community that this book takes place in is a Utopia. I think this for three main reasons. Those reasons are: everyone in the community shares their feelings, they don’t have to pick their own jobs, and they don’t feel pain.

Could you imagine living in a utopian turned dystopian community? In Lois Lowry’s book The Giver the community is faced with a utopian society gone bad. The citizens’ have no memories good or bad. They also had no feelings such as love. Their society was grim, falling apart and no one knew about it. Leaders create utopias hoping that it will help their citizens´, but perfect settings can often lead to a dystopia.

If Society were to choose things for the world to be perfect the world might actually be perfect in a way. The story The Giver by Lois Lowry is a dystopian novel about a boy named Jonas and his community. The story is about Jonas becoming the receiver of memory which means he gets ever memory of everyone who ever lived. In the community everyone except Jonas and The Giver does not have their memories. If our society did that today it would be perfect. If society chose how things worked then everyone would be the similar and there would be no differences. Society would make it so no one could see color, no choosing spouses, no pets, no love, certain words would be banished, smell would be gone, weapons, you would have to take medication,

The scientific fiction story, The Giver by Lois Lowry, tells of a dystopia that provides all necessities for everyone that lives there. The world is free of war, pain, and chaos, along with colors. There are no elements such as fire, snow, or even sunlight available to the community. The people live in a flatland area with no hills or landscape elements. The government is controlled by a committee of people called Elders.

When you are an eight, they receive jackets with pockets. When you are a ten, you get your hair cut, the females losing their braids, and the boys having their trimmed hair, so their ears are exposed. At eleven, girls receive different undergarments, and boys get longer trousers with a pocket. Everyone in the community thinks, it’s the, “Communities sense of order and success,” (Page 46). Since the community doesn't know that they've been through pain and suffering, they act like they don't worry. They should worry, because there are release of babies, adults, and the elderly. Jonas has seen and heard it happen, and to him it's an unpleasant surprise, but to the rest of the community, it is a celebration. “Release of new children was always sad, because they hadn’t had a chance to enjoy life within the community yet,” (Page 7). In conclusion, the book, The Giver, has influenced me in many ways, including the character Jonas. The book has shown me the utopian and dystopian worlds, and showed how dystopian can be changed too utopian, when one steps up. In the book, The Giver, it showed me to now be open minded, see what the world can become, seek the past as you seek the future, and take something good and make it better. Jonas, the main character has shown to be courageous and believe in what the world can become. Just like how Jonas did, he took the memories from the past, and formed it into the present and

In the book The Giver, I perceive the community as a dystopia. I think this community is a dystopia because the citizens within the community are controlled with propaganda. In the text it states, “It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to feel frightened. No. Wrong word, Jonas thought.

The book The Giver is about people living in this controlled society, but specifically this one boy named Jonas who is with this group of elevens waiting to get a job around the community. Jonas gets assigned to be the receiver which receives all of the memories which that means in this community receiving the memories is very important, because the people live in a controlled society so they don't the know the great things and the awful things in real life. The Giver is the person who transfers the memories to the receiver. The memories are about the ups and downs of the real world, for example birthdays parties are fun, but war or breaking your arm is not. Through Jonas’s actions and words the reader can tell that Jonas’s society is a dystopia.

The Giver shows us that love is an essential part to this world. The Giver shows Jonas the memory of pain and suffering and reacted in a way that made him upset, expressing love to Jonas as well as regret. Jonas was “no longer enjoying the freedom but instead, terrified…”(137). The Giver knows what Jonas is experiencing and regrets it although it is what he is told to do. The Giver took a liking to Jonas but couldn’t bare to watch him in pain. Jonas sacrificed his own comfort so the Giver could be relieved of these memories for himself. These same memories were given to the Giver because it was his job. The Giver of each generation feels love toward the new Receiver because the Giver knows what pain is like. Love is essential in this moment, especially for Jonas, because he needs a person to help him to start a new, more utopian society. People show love by sacrificing themselves for
