Novels generally are filled with conflicting events that happen to characters and send them into struggles in order to find answers to these encounters. In this book, there are very little incidents like this. Frazier introduces the community to Burris and his group, arguing mostly with the unconvinced Castle about Walden Two’s qualities, and the members of the group occasionally talk with one another about their evaluation of the utopian community. The main conflict is between Frazier and the skeptical Castle, who disagree over the qualities of behavioral modification. The only other conflicts involve whether members of the group will return to the traditional world or choose to stay and live with Walden Two.
Is Jonas’s society different than ours? Utopian (N) an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. The key word there is ‘imagined’ as we haved learned in The Giver that not everything can be perfect; it 's just limiting the being of a human. By having such limitations, the people can’t hold their memories, can’t see color, and the government chooses their family. Jonas’s society is vastly different than ours in various ways.
This is a typical family in our society as well. In Jonas’ society they do not live with their birthparents, but this are more and more normal in our society today. The parents in Jonas’s community are matched together by the Elders. The Elders analyzes the people who search for a mate, and sets together cupules who has the same interest and can fit echoers personalities and skills. This seems kind of weird for us, but it is not far from the way people in our society finds each other today.
In the book,everyone has the same attribute’s but one twelve year old boy named Jonas. Throughout the novel,Jonas has suffer and has been misunderstood. Jonas opened his eyes to the reality of the community. This causes tears,anger,lonely’s,confused,unaware and misunderstanding. “He killed it my father killed it”,Jonas said to himself” (Lowry 188).
“The old of the community did not ever leave their special place, the house of the old, where they were so well cared for and respected.” (Lowry 123) In modern day society The leaders of our society do not care about the problems that we have and the things that they don’t ever ask about our feelings on the problem. In Jonas’ society The leaders of their society do not know what to do about some problems and so they sometimes make the community all messed up.
Rules are different in Jonas’ society from ours. In Jonas’ society the rules are very strict. As shown in The Giver is precision of language is a very strict rule. One day when Jonas was three, it was snack time and his best friend Asher said “I want my smack” instead of my mid day snack.
This supports the answer because Jonas feels alone, and that no one knows what he does. If the community had empathy they could know how he is feeling and try to help him. Another example is on page 112, it
His mindless hours of playing ball, or riding his bike along the river? Those had been happy and vital time for him. Were they to be completely taken from him, now?”Jonas has to give up his own freedoms for the community which does not even have and cule of these memories. He was only allowed to train and then go home and he was not allowed to do anything else besides those steps. He was not allowed to hang out with his friends either.
No one in their community ever lies. But then Jonas realizes that he would never know if they did. He could, since his rules allow him to, ask someone if they lie. But if they are also allowed to lie then they could say whatever they want and he will not know if it’s true or not. Then Jonas starts wondering if what adults say is true or if they lie all the time too.
He is under sameness and the influence of the community. Jonas is chosen to receive feelings, colors, and emotions from memories. As time goes by Jonas sees the community not as a utopia but a horrible place. Jonas wants to change
Compared to today’s environment , there is no limit for how many members there is in an family . Also , another rule/law in Jonas society is nobody that lives in the community are not allowed to brag or lie in . For example , Jonas mentions , “ There was never any comfortable way to mention or discuss one’s successes without breaking the rule against bragging , even if you didn’t mean too” (27) . Also , comparing it to today’s society with Jonas , there is no law/rule instructing somebody to not lie , brag , and ect. In another way , explaining Jonas’s society strictness would be , once a child is an eight in the community : he/she granted freedom of choice once you are an eight or above .
