The Giver Research Paper

A small percent of people on earth say, “The world is perfect the way it is”. Well what do you think about the earth, do you think the earth is perfect? Well, The Giver is a dystopian society where everything is “perfect” and there is nothing wrong with it. The Giver matches this world of America today. Let’s hope and dream that America WILL be better than it is now.

In The Giver, there is a character called The Chief Elder, like Donald J. Trump, president of the United States of America. Their plan is to isolate the town/city from the dangerous outside world. They also have some differences between each other. Trump wants to keep people from entering the United States, the Elder wants to keep people inside the town and not come

outside. Their attitude is also different, Trump acts like he’s better than everyone, the Elder is all kind and nice to people.

The Cities of the U.S are almost the same as the little town of The Giver.

In the town obviously people live there like the city. They also travel from place to place, like markets and job. But the modern city and the town in the book are way different, one being the modern city is way larger, and two, the city is more advanced than the town. In the modern world, it's harder to travel from one point to another, and makes it harder to come in early.

The laws in The Giver and the United States keep bad things like deaths and other dangerous things away. Laws sometimes keep things peaceful in the U.S. The rules of the village keep bad things from happening since no one can break them or else it’s death. The laws in the United States and the Village in The Giver have different purposes. The U.S keeps guns and smoking restrictions in check. The laws of the Village keep love and other emotions away and make everything black and white.

In The Giver the families were chosen. The children were assigned to people to be their parents, the birth mother can’t be the child’s mother. In the United States, The birth mother could take her child as her own or give he/she to an orphanage. In The Giver the birth mother is breeding a child every year and then one day will be transferred to Labor. And in the U.S the birth mother can breed a child any time she wants, and stops when she

wants.

Feelings, emotions, they show our mood and how we feel. In the United States, emotions can be shown, however can’t be shown aggressively. In The Giver, you can’t show love, you can show emotion but just barely. In the United States, if you show emotion the wrong way, you’ll get in trouble. The Giver, people can’t show emotions because they didn’t have time to experience it yet.

Jobs are different in The Giver, and the United States. In The Giver, jobs are basically volunteer work, no pay and very good coworkers. You leave at dark and you come home all done for the day. In the U.S, jobs require skill, commitment and on time work. Here in the U.S you get paid, and get a raise in pay, you have good coworkers but that depends on the job you have and who you surround yourself with.

This world isn’t perfect. Nothing in this world is perfect, even if there is, perfect always has its flaws. There is good in everyone, there is love in everyone, they just need to find it. Perfect always has at least one flaw in it. But the people of the world work to fix those flaws and make it better. Even bad people can become good sooner or later, they just need to be taught what is good, and what is bad.
