Individuality In The Giver Society

712 Words3 Pages

Many people have different meanings of perfect. In The Giver society they want everything to be perfect and that 's where there differences apply. There is no individuality between the people in this society. In The Giver’s society the people are being watched for mistakes and perfection so the society looks perfect. The society is very strict on what people do and how they do it. The rules in The Giver society are very diverse from the modern day society. There rules contain no individuality, you are always on a surveillance camera. If you break a rule very low in the ranking then they come on with a intercom and make a big deal, but on the other hand in today 's modern society they will give you a slight warning and go along with your day like nothing happened, Instead of everyone looking at you like your a punk. “ Attention this is reminder that to male elevens that objects are …show more content…

In today 's society jobs are what people depend on to live. In the givers society you are “assigned” a job when you are twelve years old! In our society today you can go to college to get a degree in what you wanna be a master at. On the other hand in the Giver’s society you have no choice. Jonas ended up lucking out but this honored job comes with some hurtful memories along the way. “ WIth the chant he knew the community was accepting him and his new role” (p.64) Most of the jobs in this society you can file a release for but this job it specifically says in the rules there is no release files. I feel like you are not ready for a full time job at twelve years old. In our modern day society you can 't work for somebody until you are fourteen years. In the modern day society and the givers society there are many difference but not that many similarities. I would rather have individuality than anything else in the world and the Givers society does not provide that. Our modern day society may not be perfect like the Givers and we may make mistake but that 's how you get better

    In one circumstance, we may feel the need to give to those who are poor to keep them from getting in our personal space; and in other circumstances we feel that we give to others out of the kindness of our heart. I completely agree with Ascher and her views on compassion, because I have been in similar situation where I have questioned why people give money, and whether they give with a whole heart or out of necessity. Furthermore, this essay can teach us plenty of lessons that can be utilized throughout our lives so we can teach others and make them aware of the need to be more

    The Giver and Jonas were tired of being the only ones who have to keep the memories and feel the pain. Therefore, does Jonas leave the community so the memories will bit by bit, come back to the citizens of the community. Firstly, I would point out that the community in “The Giver” has a lot of resemblance with the political ideology we call communism. When we look at the history of the word, Karl Marx’s ideology has been an inspiration to a lot of political party’s throughout the centuries, for instance communism.
