In The Giver the community is a utopia, but perhaps they could make it a better place. The community would have no weapons or crime, this would create a perfect place because that creates less temptation to hurt others. A utopia could contain no hazard like cliffs, sharp places or knifes. No sickness or disease would help create a perfect place because you would not have to go through the pain of having sickness or losing someone because of a disease. Although not having some of the worst things that come with life they still teach us lessons like wrong and right or what to do and what not to do.

    How would you like to live in a community where there is no colors, sameness, and not much freedom? You probably would not like it. Well, I do not like the community in The Giver because they do not have much freedom, they cannot get things until they are a certain age at the ceremonies. The people in the community get released if they are not good enough, if there are twins that are born the bigger one is kept and the smaller one is released, and if they break to many rules they get released.…

    I’m arguing that in the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, the community in which the main character lives in is utopia. Firstly, it’s a utopia because of the pre-organised lives that everyone lives and enjoys. In the book it says; “he was certain that his Assignment, whatever it was to be, would be the right one for them (Lowry, 52-53).” This shows the faith and trust that Jonas and the people around him, have in the elders to choose their jobs correctly.…
