In Lois Lowry’s novel The Giver the dystopia is very different from modern day society in America. In the early days on America when the pilgrims came they wanted America to be a utopian society but as the world went on people wanted more wealth and more power so they went to war with other countries so they could get this wealth and power so what the pilgrims wanted did not happen now comparing that to the dystopia in The Giver the wanted it to be a utopia too but you cannot have a utopia if there is someone that is plotting how to save them but would have to break a lot of rules to do so. The dystopia in The Giver has some differences to modern day society in America but it has some differences too.

Wouldn’t it be great to live somewhere where everything is perfect? Well that's what Jonas’s community in The Giver wants to be. Many people believe it is a utopia, but it is quite the opposite. The community is a dystopia because they slaughter all of the citizens, restrict knowledge, and constantly watch them through surveillance cameras.

“Most dystopian, classic and contemporary, paints a future world that puts a twist on present society-a future world that could plausibly happen” said Lauren DeStefano. This modern-day society is quite different from a society like the one in The Giver, a society where everyone is the same equal to each other. Jonas, a young teen in the dystopian reality, realizes how his perfect world is not as perfect has he had thought. No one could feel love, true happiness and pain it was a society that could not feel. On the contrary, to the world of The Giver, modern-day society knows how to love and knows the pleasure of the desire to hold someone and to protect them with the cost of his/her life.

In my class,we have been reading The Giver . We have been told to think of what kind of world this is. A dystopia or An utopia. An utopia is a perfect society, and A dystopia is a place like our world. The community in The Giver is a utopia, because it is a “perfect place”,it has sameness,and no individuality.

Would the community in The Giver be considered a utopia or dystopia? After reading the novel many people believe that it is a dystopia. A dystopia is a world where things may look right,but are far from perfect. The community in The Giver is a dystopia because of the constant surveillance,no choices,and Jonas character.

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.

Jonas’ community appears to be a utopia, but, in reality, it is a dystopia. The people seem perfectly content to live in an isolated wreck—in a government run by a select few—in which a group of Elders enforces the rules. In Jonas’ community, there is no poverty, starvation, unemployment, lack of housing, or discrimination; everything is perfectly planned to eliminate any problems. However, as the book progresses and Jonas gains insight into what the people have willingly given up—their freedoms and individualities—for the so-called common good of the community, it becomes more and more obvious that the community is a horrible place in which to live. You as a reader can relate to the disbelief and horror that Jonas feels when he realizes

Lois Lowry’s The Giver is set in a futuristic, dichotomous society, one that is both utopian and dystopian. In response to the overwhelming destruction and chaos in the world, the Elders have attempted to create and maintain a peaceful and orderly utopia, but this security comes at a price. The citizens of the community have sacrificed their individuality and freedom. Although most adult members have some knowledge of the hypocrisies involved, they choose to perpetuate the deception, allowing the community, as a whole, to continue on blissful ignorance. When young Jonas is confronted with all the truths of the present and all the memories of the past, he must choose for himself

A utopian world sounds fascinating, but as I saw in the movie, The Giver, a perfect world cannot be achieved. The characters do a good job of showing us what a utopian society would turn us into. As I saw in the movie it seems like everything in the world is perfect, but the more you get into the movie, you start to realize what a total prison the world they live in really is. The book is one of my favorites and I wanted the movie to bring what I pictured in my head to life. In my opinion the movie did bring the book to life.
