You wake up, every day, nothing is new, the same routine, over and over and over. Now you are sitting on your bed thinking about what you should wear. Then it hits you, you do not have a choice, remember? That's right, you can not remember, not with the government anyway. Sameness seemed so good when you don't know beyond. But what's knowing beyond? What is beyond?This is what it would be like if you lived in The Giver society.

In our world we sadly have homelessness. Although we have come a long was and have decreased the number of homeless people, it still is an issue. On the other hand in the book The Giver they have not a clue what homelessness is, all of the people who like in this society have their own dwelling as well as their own family unit, this society has never been exposed to a homeless person. As well as not being exposed to homelessness they have also never known what starvation is, every day they get their food delivered to them at their dwelling, and every night it's the same routine. There is no such thing as starvation. One day Jonas was receiving a memory from The Giver, "Jonas remembered, suddenly and grimly, the time in his childhood when he had been chastised for misusing a word. The word had been starving. You have never been starving he was told. You will never be starving."(The Giver pg172) The sad thing is in our world we have starvation every day, every single second of every day, in this sense, the Giver book would be better.
