Persuasive Essay On The Giver

Ponyboy and Johnny did make the right decision by running away after killing Bob with a switchblade. I am on this side because many bad things could have happened if they would have stayed. If they did stay they would have gotten more hurt, they would have gone to jail, and the authority favors the Socs over the greasers. Even though they could get in more trouble when they get back because they hid, it is more likely that they won’t. I think that both ways will turn out bad for both of them, but I think that running away will be best.

In the book “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger, the story describes Holden Caulfield as a mystery man that a rReader would have to find clues to discover the hidden truth behind him.

Over 7,500 animals are killed in zoos because they are deemed surplus, as stated by Liz Tyson an animals rights activist. This giraffe in particular sparked a huge controversy. HIs name was Marius, he was homed at the Copenhagen Zoo and was 2 years old when the staff killed him with a bolt gun. Marius was then dissected and fed to lions in front of ongoing zoo goers. What got people fuming is that he was a healthy, young giraffe. Therefore I believe the killing of Marius should not be justified.

Imagine if humans were not allowed to have babies. This is what people in the story “The Giver” go through but do not even know it! In their life they have a laborer that delivers the babies and the people in the community (basically a suburb) have to sign up to parent a baby. What if people could not feel love. Population control involves things like abortion and adoption and how both can be cruel things but other times not. Places like china enforce it for food reasons and climate reasons. However, humans should be able to have as many children as they would like all around the world.

Humans have always strived for better, bigger buildings, safer homes, faster communication. Humans have tried to succeed in making a perfect community otherwise known as a utopia. In a utopia everything is perfect, there is no fighting, hunger is unknown, and greed is abolished.

The community from The Giver that Jonas lived in is a dystopia. One reason why it is a dystopia is because there are no colors or feelings. That makes it a very boring community. In the book, when Jonas was starting to see colors, nobody else can see them. Also, his mom told him that the word love is meaningless, even though it was the best thing Jonas had ever felt. Another reason is they kill twins. They weigh them, then inject poison into the smaller on to kill that baby. Then they just toss the dead body in the trash like all the other trash they throw away. If you think that a world where they kill babies is a utopia, you must be crazy. The last reason why the community from The Giver is a dystopia is because

Sometimes I ask myself: what if I did this? What if I did that? Would it make a difference? Well, if I did nothing and kept wondering, I would never know. What person does is more important than what a person thinks because actions can affect others and accomplish goals.

In The Giver Jonas’ community the government is very strict about children and who is allowed to give birth to them. In the community you have to be assigned the job of birth mother to be allowed to get pregnant. The women that are pregnant carry the baby, give birth and then do not get to see the baby. In simpler words the birth mothers have babies for others and the child then gets assigned to a family. It’s horrible that the birth mothers don’t get to see the child because in our society that is one of the most exhilarating parts of life for the mother and father. Also, in Jonas’ community if the child is “different” or “not like the others” than they are released to Elsewhere. In our world it doesn’t matter what the child looks like or

His knuckles whitened as he repeatedly opened and folded his fists. She closed the door behind her. She sat with me and started.

Too many times in my life have I started a discussion with someone, but wished to end it after only a couple of minutes. Whether it be on the forums of Reddit or in real life, people tend to get hostile when you offer up a differing opinion. The discussion may start civilly, but it often devolves into name calling and childish insults about the other person’s intelligence.
