Response To The Giver

204 Words1 Page

We go through painful things in life to teach us lessons, because if we never worked for anything and everything was always given to us on a silver platter, we wouldn’t know how it feels to work for something and to get it. This is why our parents make us work for some things, I have to do chores at home and do some things for myself because I need to know how to take care of myself. If I want something I have to work at my job and get money to buy it. When I have homework to do or even just going to school in general, sometimes it may feel like a pain, but we go to school so we can learn and be intelligent. This is an example of how we go through pain for pleasure. Everyone has their idea of an ideal Utopia, and that’s kind of what The Giver

    The use of limited third person point of view by Lois Lowry in The Giver impacts the story. The narrator describes the story by providing the reader with insight on what Jonas thinks, sees, knows, hears and feels throughout the story. This provides the reader with more than just simple actions, it presents sensory details as well. Although Lowry presents vast knowledge on Jonas, information on other characters throughout the story, such as Fiona, remain undescribed. Knowing the thoughts and emotions, if existent, of Fiona may have led the reader to comprehend the text in a completely different manner through omniscient third person point of view.

  • The Giver Vs Our Society Essay

    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.

    The Giver Short Response Some of the ways that it would be safer to have society or government choose things for us is about the being different aspect. There is a lot of conflict going on in the world right now over religion and other people not agreeing with certain religions. For example, there is currently a war going on in the Middle East involving the terrorist group Isis. If society or government chose the same religion for everybody then there would be no conflict revolving religion and it would prevent the thousands of deaths that have happened over it. Another way it would be safer from not being different is involving the kids in schools.

    The Giver Compare/Contrast Essay When some people hear the words ‘perfect society’ what do they think of? Take a look at our society, then take a look at Jonas’s society, between our two societies there are some comparisons and a vast amount of differences. For instance, the rules are different, as well as their family units and their individuality. While our society is more on the modern side, Jonas’s society is plainer.

    Another that changes the conflict of the story is Asher. As said in the quote: “What's wrong, Jonas it was only a game, Fiona said, you ruined it said Asher in an irritated voice” page 168 this shows that Asher is with the rest of the community (having no knowledge of before). In the movie there's also a part like in the novel (conflict wise) where Asher tries to block Jonas from escaping. This shows Asher doesn’t know what Jonas is doing is good and he’s with the rest of society. This is the part of the Giver where the conflicts are the same (man vs society).
