The Giver: Dystopia

"Giver" on the fiction of a region so, he is like a field experiment, people living in them, every day, medication and follow their social division of labor, guarding their share of responsibility, does not exceed but ask too much, we should all keep their job and live happily ever after. But society needs heritage, so in the social division of labor among the many, there are a few people who were picked out as a social memory of inheritors. This tradition, in the film called "giver." The chosen one, you need all the human emotions, including joy of joys and sorrows, including killings, including disaster, must accept it and continue. And other peoples besides him, although looks too happy joy, but merely the result of asymmetric information, the information is only rarely life, then "happiness" with. Like today's North Korean people, completely shielded from the world, had considered himself the world's happiest country. And every day they enjoy the drug, but also to suppress the people's feelings and desires, reassuring reassuring leaders accept

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.

The Giver demonstrates a society that diminishes the individuality of oneself and makes them into someone they aren't. The Giver depicts the dangers of a perfectly equal world through everyone being the same, the government being an autocracy,

The Giver and our society are very different in my ways but alike in some ways. The novel has a government just like modern society with rules and laws. Mother confessed “I feel frightened, too, for him...you know that there are no third chances”(Lowry 9). Just like our society we have punishments

A community void of suffering, love, and history. Though The Giver’s society is like our modern-day society in some ways, there are also many significant differences between them like families, jobs, punishment and individuality. “The pale eyes, almost every citizen in the community had dark eyes” (Lowry 20). In The Giver, most of the citizens in their community looked the same and they had “sameness”. Most of them had dark eyes except for Jonas

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.

The community presented in The Giver can be considered a dystopia because of control, sameness,and constant surveillance.

It makes the world seem utopian. Without emotions, no one feels hurt. Without individuality, nothing bad can happen. However, this is the farthest from the truth. The Giver is a lot worse than the society in 2015, because of the “releases” that happen, and the fact that their society eliminates all choices.

The reason an increasing number of novels and movies based around utopian and dystopian societies are becoming more prominent is that these ideas are perfect for attracting additional viewers and readers, they are unrealistic and full of action.

I think The Giver is a dystopian society. Dystopia means a place that is horrible and unpleasant. On page one it states, “It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened.” This quote represents a dystopian society because in my perspective, December means loneliness, darkness, harsh weather. Frightened, in my perspective, also meant that something shocking is about to happen. In addition, this type of community is dystopian, and it is a place where there is frightening stuff around his city. I believe it will impact Jonas because if he is living in a bad community filled with fear. When he grows up, he will be afraid of a lot of commotion in the world.

Dystopia. A place where everything is imperfect and unpleasant.That's exactly where the main character of the book, The Giver by Lois Lowry, lives. Jonas grows up in a locked community. There is no freedom and the rules are completely insane. Since Jonas is the Receiver Of Memory, he can notice how badly the residents of the community are getting treated. In the book The Giver, the world is a plain dystopia. From extremely strict rules to life of sameness, Jonas lives life through it all.

“We don't dare to let people to make choices of their own.”In The Giver they decided things like their jobs,spouses,and children, whereas in our society we decided these things on own.The society in The Giver has many differences and few similarities with modern day society.

The Giver is a dystopian film directed by Phillip Noyce it was released in 2014 and was based on the 1993 novel by Lois Lowry. The story is set in the seemingly utopian society although the protagonist Jonas begins to be aware to the dystopian aspects around him. When Jonas is selected as the Receiver of Memory the illusion of a perfect society is overshadowed by the dystopian reality. He learns that he is living a life without the fulfilment of emotions. Like all dystopian stories the film reflects current concerns, and The Giver presents messages about the importance of the natural world and the consequences we would face without it. Also the lack of personal freedom and a person’s right to make choices for themselves.

The world in The Giver is not perfect because nothing can really be perfect. It is almost impossible to think of a perfect world, and if you do there will always be a flaw in one way or another to someone. The world can never truly satisfy the needs of everyone. As Hannah Montana once said, “Nobody’s perfect”, I guess she was talking about
