I think it would kind of be nice to never get hurt. Thought I would like to see color since I like art. Never starving is good too. I like the fact that fact that there are no wars. Sadly being in a controlled environment would mean that getting hurt would result massive pain since I never have experienced it before. Also the fact that you get slapped every time you use in correct garmer would be bad.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that humans need to be aware of there environment is still relevant today because we are so absorbed in our screens. We fail to notice our environment which can lead to things such as war hunger while me may be aware of it screens makes it more easy to ignore. The people of the giver do not understand there environment's potential and could do so much more if they knew what it could be. In, conclusion if you ignorant or are unaware of the potential of the world you are limited.

The cons are

baby's are killed with cyanide
everyone is polite
there aren't video games
there are no snow

In Hunger games and giver the message is "In a world of turmoil unfairness and death, it is in a citizens right to stand up for whats right.

# data[].attributes.body
Futuristic, sci-fi. You should not let society control you and how you live your life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this can relate to Harrison Bergeron because in both stories, they have this false sense of equality. In Harrison Bergeron, no one can be stronger, faster, or prettier than anyone else. In The Giver, everyone has the same privileges. These are both false senses of equality. I think a real sense of equality is our society today.

# data[].attributes.body
I have seen themes from The Giver in other texts before. For example, the theme that life isn't always fair can be found in the text Harrison Bergeron.

# data[].attributes.body
I have read no other texts that you could see the theme of The Giver in it.

# data[].attributes.body
In Harrison Bergeron, one theme is that it is not good that everybody is equal. Also, it tells us that we should stand up against what we think is wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
One theme is equality doesn't equal happiness. This appears in Harrison Bergeron.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme that I stated earlier about how a lack of difference can lead to insanity can be seen in Harrison Bergeron where Harrison starts a huge protest and rips of his handicaps.

Harrison Bergeron that equalness isn't also the best.

# data[].attributes.body
Inn the book, AFTER THE FIRE, all of the people are equal and dont have any power over any people. Only one person had power over the people. Just like THE GIVER. This tells me that equality is definetly not the best.

# data[].attributes.body
Equality isn't always the best. (Harrison Bergeron)

# data[].attributes.body
One theme is Equity which is shown through out The Giver. The theme is also shown in the text Harrison Bergron.

In the book called every last word by tamara ireland stone, this girl is strugg,ling with ocd and she is basically alone in her everlasting world of anxiety. She has to pretend that she is like everybody else. In the giver, there are only so many people chosen for the receiver that the only peoplethat know how to respond to different situations are the receivers.

It made me realize how being different can be good. I think it's sad how people in our society can get bullied for being different. I think that we should be grateful and cherish our differences, instead of trying to push our differences away.

The theme of the giver: everyone should be unique, can be heard in tripods where at the age of 13 people were capped and were controled by the giant machines.

It makes me feel we are privileged to be able to be unique.

It would effect your perspective of your own society because your going to adimatically compare the two in your head because your/my normal society is going to be way different than The Giver's society. Like you might feel grateful for a change because normal you think your society sucks.

It affects my perspective on my own society because we get to choose how we live and the things we have. In Jonas's society, the government chooses things for them. It makes me feel lucky that we get to choose how we live.

I honestly think our society is totally broken! I think that if we spent more time learning about what other people needed, because in our society, different people struggle with different situations. The distopian society in the giver has only people that know how to respond to different situations are the receivers.

One of the pros of having everyone completely the same is that there will never be in war. But on the other hand one of the cons is that when they can't have as many opportunities as they could if they weren't the same.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that society influences personal change because society can affect the choices you make. For example, if you steal something you will be arrested. That is part of society. This influences personal change because if you keep stealing things, you will keep getting arrested. This influences personal change because hopefully after you keep getting arrested, you will change. That is an example of society influencing personal change. One of the pros of Jonas's community, is that there is no fear and very little sadness. On the other hand, a con is that they have very little to fear or be sad about, because they don't have the memories that the giver has, so they don't know anything. I think that this is why the system ultimately failed, because no one could know the truth about anything. They didn't even know about death. I think this is why the system ultimately failed.

# data[].attributes.body
The themes in The Giver were also seen in other texts I've read. For example, Harrison Bergeron has the same theme relating to equality, stating that some equality can be good, but going overboard about it is not.

Anonymous "What were the "pros" and "cons" of Jonas's society?

# data[].attributes.body
The pros on Jonas's society is that there was no fear, pain, hunger, illness, conflict, and hatred, everything is equal. However, a con would be, you need some of that stuff in your society to learn and act right and face the real world, without it your society will fail and you won't even realize it.

# data[].attributes.body
One pro of Jonas's society are, less pressure in making hard life decisions. But on the other hand one it takes away your freedom to follow your own path.

# data[].attributes.body
Society often changes how you look at things. Society can also push you into situations with peer preasure. In The Giver, The society had pros and cons. The pros are it causes no pain for most people and it runs super smootgh with people who dont know the secrets of the town.But there are also lots of cons like no differences and they take away normal abilities.

# data[].attributes.body
Society can influence you all the time. Since as a baby you detriment right and wrong society will want you thinks it's right. The pros of Jonas society are that no ones poor and that no one gets hurt. But this is also a con the fact that no one gets hurt means when an incident happens they will die because no one knows what to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas' society influenced him to be polite and responsible. But the government lied to the community about almost everything and had taken their right to decide their own life path.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas society failed because one needed another, if somebody fell the other would fall with it. Then again until society collapses.

# data[].attributes.body
I think "The Tripods" have similar themes, in their town everyone thinks the tripods (government) are amazing and wonderful, but really they have slaughtered thousands of people, and take over the minds of kids when they turn 13. Also side note, the characters go on a journey to a better place.

# data[].attributes.body
pros: - safe
- no bad memories[except for the reciever]
cons: - no difference
- have no idea what some happy things are
- can not experience normal things

# data[].attributes.body
The pros of Jonas society is that the rules help the society to run good. But at the same time having so much rules and less freedom leads to hate. The reason that it leads to hate is very one starts getting angry and irritated about some much rules.

# data[].attributes.body
How people look, act, dress, etc, can influence how people see themselves. If someone dresses differently than you, you may want to dress like them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Jonas's society ultimately failed was because nobody started with the memories, so whenever they saw and felt painful things, they wanted to leave the position as the new Receiver, which gave everybody else the bad memories, and it would pain everybody else. When Jonas realized what they did to people being released, he left the community and gave everybody else the painful memories.

# data[].attributes.body
It influences pensonal transformation by everyone doing one thing the same way. Like getting the same thing on a certain age. So people won't question it if everyone does it.

# data[].attributes.body
One pro was that the society could not make the wrong choices. A con was that they couldn't make choices at all.

# data[].attributes.body
Pros:                                 Cons:
safe environment     can't choose everyone gets their     your job
own bike                    you can get   .                                     released
you can't .   . .                      meet your real birth mother

Society can change a human beings life a lot. For example, When technology came everyone changed. Life got a little easier and from that day our society has been transforming, but also people have been transforming with society.

# data[].attributes.body
society can impact a person because the character traits of each person influences other people and what they believe. One pro is most people seemed happy, one con is there is no diversity, everything is the same. I think the system ultimately failed because everyone is the same and doesn't know how to react and face problems

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the place and experiences that people grow up, influence what kind of person they become... like the giver stated, where everything is the same and nothing bad happens, those people grow up without an understanding of how tio face the real world with so many differences.

This quote does come across the text The Giver. In the society of The Giver if the people don't have interdependence there society can't run good with trust. And this quote also is relevant to today's situation.

Yes, during the text, it wants us to picture how this goverment or community would be with all of this controll. Often, people get mad at the goverment and thery want people to realize how free we are now.

I saw that the people depend on the elders and they depend on the giver, the giver depends on the receiver to become the giver. The receiver depends on the elders.

This message does come across in the text by without interdependence in the community

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the message does come across in the text because it there community would not work without interdependence. For example, With schooling they need teachers and recreation councils. That is an example of interdependence because they need others to help the young grow and learn. Even their professions are an example of interdependence like how people come to the Giver for answers and wisdom. I think the idea is relevant today because our societies today require interdependence. For example, government is humans relying on other humans.

When the children were younger they were cared and taken care of by the nurturers. If they didn't the whole community wouldn't work.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes,

# data[].attributes.body
The Giver did not have much interdependence because everything was run by a few elders and nothing was decided or chosen by the community working together. The receiver was the only one who could keep the differences in his mind. I think interdependence is important today because if countries allied and relied on each other, there would be peace.

# data[].attributes.body
This does come across the text because in Jonas's community, the Receiver gets all the memories, and he is the only one with the memories, so the community is not very interdependent, which means they need more interdependence.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because they don't know anything about others' feelings or anything outside of their community. His parents also didn't even like the word love and didn't feel love for Jonas even though he was their son.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, i think this message comes across in the book, The Giver. And yes this idea is still relevant today. For example, people usually don't realize the freedom they have.

yes, i said yes because they don't have color, pain and etc. So without interdependence the a community would not work. Like Th giver in needed to make decisions

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. People now are able to choose the job they enjoy and will do well with.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this message comes across in the text The Giver.  Also, this idea is still relevant today. For example, people usually are not aware of the freedom they have, and they take it for granted.

# data[].attributes.body
The Message does come along in the text, because the society needs a receiver to hold all the memories for them, without the receiver, everyone would have memories of the past, good and bad.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. people need to understand (in the book ->) that sameness is the reason they live in a distopian society and nobody knows of bad occurences and they arent aware of their interdependence. Today, we dont live in a distopian society but that does not mean we live in a perfect world. For example, the Holocaust (the extirmination of european jews and others associated). If we dont learn about what happened, its very easy for this to happen again.
