The Perfect Society In The Giver

Improved Essays
In the novel “The Giver” Lois Lowry creates a society that appears perfect and orderly but in depth it is not. In this perfect society, not only almost everyone has a job and a dwelling but also there was no poverty, no hunger and no pain. People live there have never complained; they always accept instructions and assignments they have been given and play their role faithfully. As mentioned in the book “The community was so meticulously ordered, the choices so carefully made." (48) Inhabitants in this society are more like small parts of a big machine instead of human beings. Jonas was one of them before, but he was changed completely after receiving those memories. These memories gave him wisdom to think and to develop his own opinions

Since the Hound is always alert and searching, it is impossible for anyone to get away with a crime.…

Jonas did not want to keep in the knowledge as Receiver of Memories because he was overjoyed by feelings. One of Jonas’ rules “Do not discuss your training with any other member of the community, including parents and Elders” (Lowry 86). This is meaningful because the communities’ only goal of a Receiver was to prevent information from leaking out to the community.…

The modified society in ‘The Giver’ initially illustrates a dystopian system; however, masquerading as a utopia.…
