Without him getting these memories it wouldn’t make him leave in the first place, so it is a good thing that he suffered through the bad, and enjoyed good memories. A quote that proves against this point is, “Then he went limp, His head fell to the side, his eyes half open. Then he was still.” (140) This was the moment that Jonas witnessed the little twin’s death. This was a terrible moment in the book but it can be looked at in a good way.

When he got the bad memories it seemed like there was no escape because he couldn’t be released. But he and The Giver found a better way and Jonas didn’t have to be killed or be trapped in the

The Giver is a novel that is set in a society that strives to be a utopia. A utopia is essentially a is “a place where no one has to make a decision, feel pain or even have a negative thought or a bad memory” (Goepfert).

In this utopian community, major problems are rare, only minor problems such as scraping your knee would happen. Even when this would happen there would be medications sent to them. In Lois Lowry’s award-winning novel, The Giver, Jonas’s society is considered to be utopian because the society has an overall sense of sameness, organization, and minimal problems.

In the society in The Giver, emotions were not felt, clothing was not one’s own choice, and forcing people out of the society was acceptable.
