The Giver Compared To Today

Nothing is perfect especially not the giver’s society. The Giver’s main idea is It is better to be different than to be the same because nothing is perfect. In The giver the people of the society think the society is perfect but it is not.

First, The Giver’s community is a dystopia because there is limited freedom. I know this because in the Document E it says, “Oh,” Jonas was silent for a minute. “Oh, I

Imagine, being given all the elements to success in your community and not having to compete with other citizens. Most would think this sounds ideal, although if you explore this idea deeper, you would find a community cannot thrive. An illustration of this thought is the community of The Giver. When all are given a job, it is not as efficient without citizens’ effort to earn it. In The Giver, the society is not as successful as it potentially could be, since it does not use competition or human drive in its citizens.

What would it feel like living in a world which everyone is same and the life is monotone?In “The Giver”,written by Lois Lowry,there’s a community based on perfection and the citizens who have strict and ethic rules to prevent their community from becoming unethical and unequal.Lowry conveyed her ideas both with in advantages and disadvantages,and the diversity which citizens in the community have lost.

The Giver is considered as a dystopian society because everyone is under the illusion that there is freedom. An example of this is when the text states, “you're ready for the pills, that's all. That’s the treatment for the stirrings.” They can't even have independent thoughts. Medication is given to prevent

The Giver teaches the lesson of being unrealistically pleasant and conflict-free can take a dramatic toll on one’s life. Although a society that has no mental or physical trouble is satisfactory, a society that takes away freedom and choice is the greatest trouble society can bring. Officials should not determine others’ lives because people have the capability to make their own decisions on who they want to be. Controlling someone life like a puppet can cause an outbreak of insubordinate

While The Giver has many themes, or the underlying message, one that stood out was the importance of freedom of choice. In the suppressive society that the book sets in, they lacked any and all choices that we have as a birthright. Freedom of choice is something that we don’t normally think about since it has come natural to us. The book, however, gives us a community that not only suppresses the freedom of choice but also lies to its people so they don’t know any different.

In The Giver, the theme is that while differences can be frightening and isolating, they are necessary to form a lasting society. Though in their childhood, all of the citizens in Jonas’s society are taught to fit into the societal expectations and act exactly the same as one another, which makes them view difference as a bad thing, but then, at the Ceremony of Twelves, the Elders start encouraging the differences between them. As though she hasn’t suppressed their individual traits since they before learned to walk, the Chief Elder announces, “today we honor your differences. They have determined your future,” (52). This shows that without different, individual traits, there would be no way to select jobs or houses, and no consumer market

The Giver represents a life that may seem unrealistic to many who do not believe such policies exist today. Society pays little attention to what is presented as unrealistic policies, which are in actuality are active. The policies shown in The Giver are better described as governmental and social policies consisting of drug abuse, death penalty arranged marriage and euthanasia. It may seem as though these topics are rare in the real world but they do exist.

I think The Giver is a dystopian society. A dystopian society is a place where people’s environment is controlled, there is a disaster happening, and the people can live a plain and boring life. On page two it states, “NEEDLESS TO SAY HE WILL BE RELEASED,the voice had said, followed by silence”. This quote represents a dystopian society because it shows that the rules are very strict and the punishment for breaking them is death. It is also a grim statement to say that someone will be released.

The setting of The Giver takes place in a fictional community known as the “Sameness”. Life here is supposed to be "perfect" because there is no pain or suffering. They don’t have to take

The Giver and our world are similar and different for example, The giver community works differently, and in our world we can have our own spouse- the freedom of love.

Birthdays are a celebration of one’s birth. In Jonas’s society birthdays are drastically different from birthdays in our society. Birthdays are celebrated only in December rather than celebrated all throughout the year like in modern society. “Each December, all new children born in previous years turn one” (Lowry 11). Also, after the Ceremony of Twelve no more birthdays are celebrated. The Ceremony of Twelve is a ceremony that

A society where “no one goes hungry, and there's always food waiting on their plates” (Lowry 173). They have extra food because they know how much food is needed, their population is controlled. People in the community are “only allowed to own two children, one boy and one girl” (Lowry 8). Unlike The Giver, in our society things like world hunger do exist. People in our society are allowed to have as many children they can or want, and the genders

As jonas was growing he would understand that there was something happening within the city . Well the kids went to school the elders in the community would evaluate the children throughout the school years to figure out where they were gonna be put into society. Once you reached the age of twelve you were given a job that you had to work for the rest of your life until there was an opening for another job. Then you had to talk to the elders because it was up to them If you are able to change their work life. If they were pleased with your choice you’d remain in the same position.
