The Giver Compare and Contrast

“I feel sorry for anyone who is in a place where he feels strange and stupid.” (Lowe) This is true because no place is perfect and that is why The Giver is a dystopian novel and not like our world.

The giver is similar but also different in many ways like the giver has laws and our society has laws they just have different laws like you can only have two children 1 boy and 1 girl.
