The Giver Utopian

In the book The Giver, by Lois Lowry, everyone who Jonas knows lives in the community, and nowhere else. The community is an organized society with brainwashed people. Virtually all of the people that live in the community know nothing about the past or anything else, beside the rules and the occupations in the community that they have been following for generations. Only the Giver and the Receiver of Memory know of the past and emotions and the secrets. Jonas is the Receiver in Training, and he acquires these memories and emotions from the Give. These memories are the memories that the people in the community don’t have, the memories that have been rid of and kept in the Receiver of Memory for generations. The Giver also reveals that the

Jonas discovers what is really beyond his community, beyond all the rules and policies they have to follow; he decides to leave and give all of his memories to the rest of the community so they would know about what they have not seen or experienced before. Jonas discovers that the community has decided too many things for everyone. He realizes Sameness is not right, that it cannot last any longer. He thinks of all the what-ifs. What if the Elders choose a wrong spouse? What if the Elders choose the wrong job for someone?

Is a community with a little freedom a utopia? Imagine a world that only has one culture. Nothing would be different, there would be no issues between people everyone was the same. Everyone has a different point of view in different situations. There would be no climate, no weather, no emotions, and no memories. In Louis Lowry The Giver , Lowry created what seemed like more of a distopia to me. In The Giver, a small community is in a “perfect society” where they provide food, there are arranged pairs and have no feelings for eachother and can’t see any color and have no memories. The main character, Jonas becomes the receiver of memory and finds out new things about the community that no one knows about except for him and The giver. The Giver is a elder who has memories about the past the no one knows about except for him and jonas. He shares some of the

The Giver strives to be a utopian society but the still can’t be perfect. The Giver is a book with the main character being Jonas, Jonas has no last name; however, no one else had the last name in their society. The Giver is a Dystopian because they get their memories erased, they are all equal, and they get assigned jobs when they are 12.

The book The Giver had many significant meanings and symbols that make a person evaluate how precious life really is. One would like to erase a particularly unpleasant memory, but if one could accomplish that then life would have no meaning. If a person only had pleasant memories and did not know what an unpleasant situation feels like, it would be living with no significance. Like in the book, The Giver, people live in an isolated community with no choices, no pain or true happiness. The protagonist, Jonas, becomes the receiver and realizes that there is more Elsewhere, and does not understand how the community can live with no true feelings. Memories are extremely significant in an individual’s life because it gives a person feeling and emotions of happiness, excitement, fear, and many other mindsets that will allow a person to know who they really are deep inside. The community in The Giver does not have true emotions and feelings; furthermore, their life is precisely robotic where people are not aware of many important things in life. In The Giver, Lois Lowry designs a vague setting in a community of people that have no pain or feelings to make a statement that life today would be boring and with no meaning without memories; in addition, Lowry contains many symbols in the book to show why memories are important in a person 's life.

“You can’t separate peace from from freedom because one can not be at peace unless he has his freedom.” (Nina Simone) In the science fiction novel, The Giver a future utopian community is described. The main character, Jonas, lives in a community which offers peace if you give into a life of resignation to the dictation of the Elders. By doing this, you lose your freedom of technology, own choices, and memories of the past.

When first beginning to read the novel The Giver the reader may think these people are in a perfect or “utopian” society, but in actuality they are in a fake world run by people called Elders who want to keep constant control, and go to no limits as they control who people marry and if they are allowed a child or not. The word death has no meaning to the people they are leading, they simply believe that people are “released,” The story starts off as a boy named Jonas, he is a normal kid, near age 12, really nothing more to him than that. In This perfect society everyone is exactly the same.

difficulties of the past. Well in The Giver by Lois Lowry it has this.When Jonas

Have you ever wondered what life would be like if we lived in a Utopian society? Everyone and everything would be the same, no differences or problems to face, and life would be more of a routine than an experience. No color, no feelings, no sunny days or rainy nights. A world where everything is controlled. In the book “The Giver”, Jonas lives in a society where sameness is part of their everyday lives. They have certain rules and laws that keep everyone in line, and prevents any difficulties or problems from disturbing their society. Because of these rules and regulations, the people of this society have no emotions, no color, and no independence; however, our society is almost the complete opposite.

What is a utopia? A utopia is a society that is supposed to be a perfect world, but sometimes, it is not as perfect as it seems. What risks will people have to take to better the community? Jonas lives in a utopian community; where everything is supposedly perfect, but he will soon find out that everything is not as it seams. In the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry, Jonas takes risks by helping his loved ones, doing what’s right for himself, and doing what is best for the community.

Jonas lives in a society that eliminated hatred, pain, love, and fear. Spouses and children are assigned to each individual sharing no emotions towards each other. The people have no control of their lives, “Every aspect of one's life such as one's spouse, children, and job is decided by the Committee of Elders” (Lowry 56). Jonas did not question his society or his family because he was taught to follow the rules and to be politie. Until Jonas was given the highly honored assignment, the Receiver of Memory. Each citizen is assigned a job in the community at the age of twelve to serve until they are released into Elsewhere similar to heaven. Jonas began to view the community differently after he learned they were not living freely. Additionally, the Elders took away the memories and emotions to prevent darkness and war in the community. The former Receiver of Memory, gave the memories of joy and suffrage to Jonas. Jonas experienced his first memory, “He heard people singing. Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too” (180). Jonas witnessed singing and dancing for the first time which the society hid. It was the first time Jonas had started to feel strange which he learned were feelings. Jonas did not understand the reason for the Elders keeping

What would you do if I told you that a fictional utopia is much like one that took place in the 1930’s? A utopia is a world without war, hunger, and hatred. This may seem like a great idea, but when it is put into action it will cause problems for many people. In Lois Lowry’s The Giver, everybody is exactly the same. They dress the same, eat the same, talk the same, etc.

The Giver is a movie and a book about a boy named Jonas and how he becomes the receiver and brings memories to his community. Basically, the community is a place Jonas lives in and it’s been created in the ruins. The community a debris and is idiosyncratic from all the sameness and precision of language. The community is this futuristic place that has erased love, hatred, sadness, and other emotions. The only thing community has is sameness. The chief elder has eliminated all the memories from the citizens. The reason the chief elder diminished the memories is that chief elder believes that, if the memories and emotions would be announced to the community there would be diversity. Chief is apprehensive so she doesn't want any diversity, and opinions because she thinks if there are diversity and opinion then there'll be war. The chief would rather keep things simpler than having war, racism, hunting, pollution and other problems started by opinions and memories. The citizens of the community take pills or a needle and what the needle/pills do is they restrain the citizens from having or showing any emotions. Further, in the book/movie Jonas stops to the pills/needle and then unsurprisingly starts to have emotions and what they call to see beyond. Jonas starts to discover more things the giver teaches him. Jonas then has exulansis.

In the book The Giver, it tells the story of a perfect world. Everyone there is happy and feels no pain. As the story progresses, the society appears more and more dystopian as the main goal of the society is revealed, which is sameness.() The community is constantly observed and controlled by every aspect in their lives. The committee assigns jobs, housing, husbands, wives, and children. If found breaking any of these laws, people are “released”, an indirect term for murdering. When Jonas is 12 years old, he 's chosen to be the community 's Receiver of Memory. Once he enters into training with an old man called 'The Giver ', he begins to receive memories of the real world that the rest of the community is hidden from. As the giver begins to show Jonas the important memories, he learns not only of love and family, but also of pain, war, and all the unhappy

It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.” Happiness is one of the best memories. Memories are meant to be had with people to have good and bad things to experience together not to never be able to feel any emotion people need emotion in their life. In their society they chose not to have memories but they are all missing out on so much they didn’t trust their community to make good choices but with emotions comes good and bad choices also the feeling of doing something wrong. I don’t think the community should hold something like memories from their community. “Of course they needed to care it was the meaning of everything”In our society people get the chance to care about things and caring is important. In the giver they don’t even know what caring is like they should be able to care if a nurturer releases someone. “With memories the community won’t work their won’t be a perfect community anymore”.The community thinks it is a better idea if only one person has that knowledge so when they need advice on something they don’t know about they can ask the giver on what to
