The Giver: A Utopia Or A Dystopian Society
The society in The Giver comes down to being a Utopia or a Dystopia. Seeing things from both sides, I conclude that Jonas’s community is a Dystopian society. Not being able to have choices, having citizens unhappy, and keeping people from being independent would not be considered part of a Utopian society. To begin with, Jonas’s community has no say in making their choices or decisions. Based on chapter 13, Jonas says, “‘But i want them!’ Jonas said angrily. “ It isn't fair that nothing has color!’” As you can see, the citizens in this community, Jonas for example, are wanting choice. They want for some things to be different, yet the option isn't theirs. In addition, the citizens in Jonas’s community are not happy. According
