The Giver: In a paragraph of 5-8 sentences, consider what you've learned about dystopian societies and the human fear of being controlled and giving up
freedom. Explain how Jonas's community is controlled by their government
and how it might be possible that they got there. Use specific examples from
the text to support your ideas.

First, The Giver uncovers a utopian society, peaceful, and community-like. Later, protagonist, Jonas uncovers their world to actually be dystopian. Their society is truly controlling of the truth, and the world's past. By easing all of them of the past, and withholding it to only one person is unfair and cruel. I believe that their world became to be like this because of how horrid and stressfully bearing it was for everyone. They needed a sense of peace, so people decided to rid them of the stressful and horrid memories by bearing them to one person, and that one person would pass these memories on to "the chosen one" for generations on and on and on and on. "Our people made that choice, the choice to go to Sameness. Before my time, before the previous time, back and back and back. We relinquished color when we relinquished sunshine and did away with difference. We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others." (Lowry, 95). This means that this power and all these memories were passed from way long ago to get rid of sadness and replace it with sameness. The people who decided this are in wrong because they needed to realize that people should know of the pass in order to live on reflectively in the future. In order to be happy, the past is needed. Although there is emotions like pain, guilt, sadness, anger, there is also love, joy, excitement, and hope.
