Whether it is about the community or the environment both books have many similarities and difference. Here are some similarities and differences.…
In the novel The Giver, memories are the source of wisdom and pain. The society created by the elders, which lived in the old world, where there was chaos and agony. It's a supposed utopia. Everything is fair, everyone has the same education, family members, same life. There is no chaos or disease, it's “perfect.”…
As Jonas holds tightly onto Gabe and the sled, he squeezes his eyes shut and hopes for the best. But, he wasn’t hoping enough, as they tumble down the hill rolling viciously with Jonas attempting to protect Gabriel.

They go down different paths. So here are their contrast.…
There are two societies to live in the community and elsewhere. Elsewhere has both good and bad things. Good things like love and bad things like war. The community is in the middle. No love but also no war.…
In Lois Lowry’s The Giver the author suggests that Jonas unfortunately, does not live to see the lights of elsewhere. First. Lois Lowry states that Jonas had been offered the memory of music, but Jonas denied the Giver’s offer. And at the end it said that, “Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music, but perhaps it was only an echo.” This quote suggest that he learned what music was and therefore had lost his life.…

They even went to the extent of taking hormonal feelings away. Sameness is an extremely outrageous way of living life due to not being able to create your own family, the lack of emotions, and the brainwashing of community members. Sameness was a very important part of the book but is absolutely a terrible way to live. Sameness made The Giver the amazing story it is now but it is just overall unnecessary and ridiculous. Being trapped in a community but not even realizing that you have no freedom whatsoever would kill me.…
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.…
In The Giver everyone has a job. They get an assigned job that best suits them. Everyone has enough money to take care of their family (Lowry). They all have the same amount of money and all have a job because they don’t want anyone to struggle and to be in pain mentally. In “Haiti in crisis” many people can’t afford the necessary objects they need and more than 40% of the population in Haiti are unemployed (Brown & Smith).…
When the elders of the community first set up their rules and regulations and put people into jobs without their consent and took away their rights, they highlighted one of the biggest issues in the community. The council of elders attempted to create a utopian society, but instead, they created a false utopia, so the community was torn apart. Lois Lowry's book, The Giver, Jonas believes his community is a false utopia because of their lack of choice, lack of diversity, and their decision to euthanize people in the community. In the community, the elders put people down in order to avoid confusion and try to keep a subtle and safe community.…
The community in "The Giver" is not a utopia. It seems like a utopia but actually it's not. Why does the Chief Elder have to make all the decisions for each person in the community. The community also have very weird rules. The community in "The Giver" is a dystopian society.…
The forty-two hour work week is divided by the citizens and for a community that earns six-hundred thousand dollars per year, the amount of money the members make shows how this society is far from the perfection ideal. The people that live in Twin Oaks community for years feel trapped due to the fact that the members do not have any opportunities to build up their savings and there is little to no privacy in the community (Grimes). Furthermore, the members initially thought that the children would not be owned by their parents and the entire community would take responsibility for them being Twin Oaks children. However, the parents of Twin Oaks did not feel the community took care of their children as well as they could have by themselves (Larrow). When the parents left the community, the idea was that the children would be left behind to be parented by the Twin Oaks…
In the novel, The Giver a controlled thing is called "sameness". It keeps the community from many dangerous things but also holds the community from having many things they should have like weather changes. Sameness chooses for the people like spouses and families. They're supposed to be a perfect community but they hold many secrets and lies from the community. It doesn't allow people to choose their job but the committee study kids as they grow, and they usually get a perfect job for what you like.…
Communities of The Giver have almost destroyed any of our feelings that make us truly human. The elders had completely stripped their citizens of their right to love, to feel what is one of the most valued emotions. They use their people as work subjects and nothing more. The citizens are oblivious to what has been stolen from for generation after generation and how much they have lost to dehumanization. Next, the citizens are objectified solely for the pursuit of progress.…
