When the community doesn’t have memories, they don’t panic, are in pain, or freak out. When they do have memories, like the time Rosemary left and the memories came back to the people, they panicked. ]]> 2020-04-03 03:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/490220343 Choices and Terror 24kwankum https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/490221088 The consequences are that they might do something wrong and they would have to live with it. Society can pressure you into doing something that you don’t want to do. Also, your choices can impact society because when Rosemary left, all of the memories the River gave her went back to the people and they were in terror. ]]> 2020-04-03 03:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/490221088 Respect 24kwankum https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/490221766 Society can balance individualism with responsibility to the community by having respect and no lying to each other. They must tell the truth unless, when you get your assigned job, it tells you that you can lie, but some of them are choices that you can lie.]]> 2020-04-03 03:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/490221766 Choice 24aleffert https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/491189603 Some people choose to do what they believe is right and that can get some into trouble. Another consequence could be that whatever choice an individual is making, could physically or emotionally harm another person. If all choices were made for people, as they are in The Giver, people would be spared from getting their feelings hurt or even potentially losing someone close to them if the person had made a bad choice. ]]> 2020-04-03 14:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/491189603 Memory 24aleffert https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/491192906 Memory plays a huge part in the community. Jonas was assigned Receiver of Memory and his job is to hold all of the memories of other people. He holds both the good and bad memories, so no one besides Jonas and the Giver have emotions and feelings. No one else has any experience with pain and trauma. ]]> 2020-04-03 14:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/491192906 Aspects of Utopias and Dystopias 24aleffert https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/491194901 In our current society, there are more aspects of dystopias than there are utopias, but something we have in our society that Jonas’ community does not have is freedom. We are allowed to grow up and live our lives as we please although there are laws put into place. In Jonas’ community, they attempt to make it a utopia although it ends up being a lot like a dystopia by trying to keep things in our society like war and discrimination from happening. ]]> 2020-04-03 14:17:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/491194901 Choices https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492006109 2020-04-03 23:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492006109 Choices and the Consequences 24cforck https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492006976 Some people might make the wrong choices. This could impact a community because what happens when someone welcomes someone into the community but this was a wrong choice? This person could harm the people in the community. Someone could do what they THINK is right but it might be wrong, and this could cost them. Someone could get hurt, someone could get in trouble, etc. However, people can also make the right choices and this could impact a community for the right reasons. Jonas made his own choice and decided to grab Gabriel and leave the community. This will impact the society because his memories will just be left in the air and the Giver will have to help everyone experience this pain.]]> 2020-04-03 23:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492006976 Different Aspects of Utopias and Dystopias 24cforck https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492008750 We are kind of a utopia because we are able to see colors and feel warmth. We can also be thought of as a dystopia because we can get hurt and feel hunger and pain like Jonas saw and felt in his memory. In the Giver, they can’t leave the community. As you read through the Giver, you see things that you are thankful you can do like leave the community, take food home, ride cars instead of bikes everywhere, and small things like that. We have more freedoms than Jonas, and that can be good or bad. We see that throughout the novel.]]> 2020-04-03 23:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492008750 The Role of Memory 24cforck https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492009425 Memory plays a big role in the novel. The whole reason there is a Receiver and a Giver is because there are memories that have been taken away. It makes it to where no one experiences pain (unless they fall down or jam their finger). No one experiences emotional pain. A lack of memory benefits the society in some ways because nobody has to know the pain of hunger, war, and many other things. They can’t see color and they don’t know what snow or what warmth is. If those memories get out, they wouldn’t know what to do and how to handle that pain, that’s why it is taken away from them. I guess the people who made the community are trying to protect them in a way. It allows them to be safe. That's how it affects the community, they are more safe. However, they can't experience all the good in the world.]]> 2020-04-03 23:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492009425 Choice: Jacob Tellman https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492589740 If people have the right of choosing things there can be consequences. If someone makes a bad choice this could impact a society. Personal choices impact a society because if someone makes a good personal choice it will help the society. On the other hand, if someone makes a bad personal choice there can a negative impact on the society. ]]> 2020-04-04 16:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492589740 Dystopia and Utopia: Jacob Tellman https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492594308 Aspects of a Utopia that we have is plenty of food, shelter, families, resources, we have choices, etc. We can see color unlike Jonas's community while hearing music too. We have aspects of dystopia's too. We get hurt and some people can have hunger. We have more freedoms than Jonas's community too. One freedom is that we can go anywhere while driving a car but in Jonas's community they have to ride bikes and cannot leave the community. ]]> 2020-04-04 16:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492594308 Societal Structure: Jacob Tellman https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492598376 In the Giver Louis Lowry has societal structure. In the book she limits the freedoms, choices and desires. She does this by trying to make the novel a Utopia so the freedoms, choices, and desire do not get out of hand. One good example of this is a job. They get assigned jobs where they do not have the freedoms to choose, and they do not have desire for a certain job. There are examples of limiting societal structure throughout the novel. ]]> 2020-04-04 17:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/492598376 The role of memory: Halie https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/493455102 Memory plays a big role in the novel because it represents what people have lost and what people need to receive.The lack of memory affects society because nobody knows what anything really is, they kill because they know no better and they can't see color or listen to music,play in the snow,know what real emotions is or what its like to feel pain or love.]]> 2020-04-05 16:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/493455102 Choices: Halie https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/493459770 That people might not make the right choice in your opinion and that might make you odd or not able to see"the right answer" Society is impacted because when Jonas left everybody got those memories and they had to deal with pain and happiness for the second time.]]> 2020-04-05 17:01:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/493459770 Role of Memory: Chesney https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494861683 The role of memory is how people make choices off of the past so, we do not keep repeating our mistakes over and over again. The lack of memories affect the society because people don't have to good memories which could bring them happiness. But, they also don't have the bad ones so, then they don't ever think anything in the world is bad and they would never know the actual truth about all the things that have happened in the past. If only one person has all the memories that is a lot of pressure on them especially if they think the whole society couldn't take all the pressure.]]> 2020-04-06 14:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494861683 Choices: Chesney https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494878055 Some consequences of people having their own choices are they could make a mistake or a wrong choice and affect different people of things. They could also cause arguments because not everyone is going to agree on the same thing. Personal choices affect society because if one person makes a mistake more people could suffer from it. In the book, The Giver, when Jonas leaves with Gabriel. It affects everyone because all the memories that Jonas has and gave to Gabriel will go out to all the people and they will start experiencing things that they weren't supposed to.]]> 2020-04-06 14:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494878055 Society balance individualism: Chesney https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494910071 It shows responsibility because if everybody does their job in their society then it is equal. But, if one person does and the other does not. That's not fair because they are still getting treated the same but, one only worked for it. So, for their community to work everyone does their job on their own and then they are all helping their community.]]> 2020-04-06 14:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494910071 Choices: Grace https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494927798 The consequences for a society when people have to make choices is that if they make the wrong one, they could possibly go to jail, etc. But society is impacted by personal choices, because the government can only have so much control over the society, and once one person makes the wrong decision, it can put a lot of people in danger and at risk. In the giver, you don’t get any personal choices at all, sometimes you can choose to be released, but otherwise, it's all up to the government. ]]> 2020-04-06 14:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494927798 Memory: Grace https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494932769 Memory actually plays a pretty big role in the novel because there is a receiver which receives memories, and transfers their memories to others. It’s an honor to have this role, but it's often quite difficult, because there are terrible memories, but there are really good ones. The really good ones end up being terrible because they’re from the past, and the receiver then realises that the past was happy, and people had choices but now they don’t so that makes the receiver sad. The lack of memory makes the society think that the government making all of their decisions is normal, and okay to do, when it's really just wrong. The community doesn't know what real love is, what colors are, etc. ]]> 2020-04-06 14:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494932769 Societal Structure: Grace https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494933776 The novel, The Giver limits almost everything, so I think it believes strongly in limiting freedom, choice, and desire. The society in the book, The Giver, has no choice of really anything, almost everything anybody does has some sort of rule to it. Once there was a normal time just like it is now for us, but for them, they had rules, apon rules, apon rules, trying to make a perfect place, a so called utopia, but failed and turned it into what is now a dystopia. ]]> 2020-04-06 14:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494933776 Societal structure: Clara https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494970036 She thinks that if the government limits people's power, the societal structure will eventually fail, and people will not be living a good or true life.

This affects society because they don’t know anything about the past and don't know hardly any feelings. This also makes it harder for the person who contains all the memories. This is harder for them because not only do they contain everyone's good memories but that contain everyone's bad ones too so they have a lot of pain and suffering in the life. ]]> 2020-04-06 14:45:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494973205 Aspects of dystopias and utopias: Clara https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/494976943 In our society today we have aspects of Utopias and dystopias. Some Utopian aspects are we have access to education, healthcare, employment, etc. We also have a somewhat safe environment.

This affects the society because they don't know anything about the past and they don't have any feelings.

The other reason it is important is because if people get memory's then the people will not agree with the leaders. The lack of memory affects the society because they do not know what pain is so the things Jonas went through they will have to go through. ]]> 2020-04-06 15:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/495086034 Consequences of Choice - Jaelynn Schaefer https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/495128347 Choices impact a society in many ways.

No one else in the community knows anything about life outside of it, all of the good and bad memories they could experience. If they did know about them, it wouldn't be a very successful community. The role of memory is to know what life is like outside of the community, to know that all of the bad things aren't there. ]]> 2020-04-06 15:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/495146904 Consequences for a society: Halie https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/495230402 Consequences is that, that person could make the "wrong choice" or a choice that might just not benefit all.Personal choices impact a society because somethings usually involve other people and depending on if its good like volunteering or doing something bad and being destructive.]]> 2020-04-06 16:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/495230402 Societal structure: Halie https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/495244207 Societal structure has the power to promote or limit freedom,choice,and desire because she tries to limit and get rid of all things dealing with this like jobs,when you get your comfort animal taken away,when you can get a bike, number and gender of children and so on.

People could make negative choices that hurt society. Personal choices can impact a society in negative and positive ways. For example if somebody makes the choice to do something positive and it inspires many other people to do something positive then choices are beneficial to society. However if somebody makes a negative and harmful choice their decision will reach many people and will be heard which can lead to many other people making negative decisions which can severely hurt society.
In the text it states, “"But now that I can see colors, at least sometimes, I was just thinking: what if we could hold up things that were bright red, or bright yellow, and he could choose? Instead of the Sameness.""He might make wrong choices." "Oh." Jonas was silent for a minute. "Oh, I see what you mean. It wouldn't matter for a new child's toy. But later it does matter, doesn't it? We don't dare to let people make choices of their own." "Not safe?" The Giver suggested. "Definitely not safe," Jonas said with certainty. "What if they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong? "Or what if," he went on, almost laughing at the absurdity, "they chose their own jobs?" "Frightening, isn't it?" The Giver said. Jonas chuckled. "Very frightening. I can't even imagine it. We really have to protect people from wrong choices." "It's safer." "Yes," Jonas agreed. "Much safer."” (The Giver, chapter 13 pages 98 and 99.) This quote shows how the people in The Giver believe all choices can impact society. They believe choices can have consequences if you pick the wrong one and it can lead to negative effects on you and society.

I believe we have no aspects of dystopias that are reflections in the giver. All of the problems in our society today are solved in The Giver however because they solved these problems they have created many more in the process such as very limited freedom of choice and independent thought. Some aspects of a utopian society that are present in our community and in The Giver are free education and access to medicine and healthcare. But I believe we have no similar dystopian characteristics. In the text it states“Two children--one male, one female--to each family unit. It was written very clearly in the rules.” (The Giver chapter 1 page 8.) This quote is an example of a dystopian characteristic in The Giver that demonstrates how we have no problems that The Giver has and The Giver has no problems that we have.]]> 2020-04-06 18:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/495455662 Societal structure has the power to promote or limit freedom, choice, and desire... - Sawyer B. https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/495463792 We can hear the author's voice about how social structure has the power to promote or limit, freedom, choice, and desire through the protagonist, Jonas. Jonas mentions many times how because of what the higher ranking people such as the committee members define and decide to limit freedom of choice and desire. Through Jonas the author expresses how she believes that this system is very unfair and should be abolished. In the text it states, “But almost always, the older brothers and sisters had secretly taught the younger ones. Jonas had been thinking already about teaching Lily. There was talk about changing the rule and giving the bicycles at an earlier age. A committee was studying the idea. When something went to a committee for study, the people always joked about it. They said that the committee members would become Elders by the time the rule change was made. Rules were very hard to change. Sometimes, if it was a very important rule--unlike the one governing the age for bicycles--it would have to go, eventually, to The Receiver for a decision.” (The Giver chapter 2 pages 13 and 14.) This quote demonstrates how only certain people have input and can change the laws. This bike law like many others limits the freedom of choice and desire because of the committee members in this social structure that determine rules and laws.]]> 2020-04-06 18:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/495463792 What role does memory play in the novel?

Like this pandemic going on right now, in The Giver there is all good. An utopian aspect would be that we get to choose our spouse, how many kids we want, and our job whereas Jonas’s community doesn’t. Another dystopian aspect in our society is some people don’t get birthday presents or a birthday party on their special day. In Jonas’s community everybody gets something new each year until they are assigned their job and they get to celebrate. The final aspect I am going to talk about is another utopian. In our society we are allowed to know what everything is, where roads lead and what happened in our past. The Giver is a book about a community who doesn’t get that.

Without memory in the novel Jonas would never have made it to Elsewhere, instead he would continue to live in his community thinking that nothing was ever wrong.

Some aspects of a dystopia we have is when people break the law, people can’t find a job, or people get bullied. Bullying happens because everyone has so many differences and people judge other people for that.

What's similar about our utopias and Jonas’s community is that they both want them to not see the bad.

The lack of memory affects the society because people could fix something next time that they did wrong and learn from the mistake and get to have their own opinions on things which would completely change the way they are trying to make their community a perfect place.

Lois Lowry thought it would be a better idea to take away the people's memories so they could be spared the terror of some of the horrific things that have happened.

This can be seen when in her Newbery speech, she speaks about how as an 11 year old, she grew up in a small American village within Tokyo. She then goes on to say that she would go out of her small American area in Tokyo, without the consent of her parents. In the Giver we can see this through how the society Jonas lives in, purposely sets all these strict rules to prevent anybody from defecting. That by itself limits freedom, choice, and desire. This can be proven with the following quote, "“Then, after a moment, I realize my mistake. She has said, actually, “Kirei-des’.” She has called me pretty. And I look for her, in the crowd, at least to smile, perhaps to say thank you if I can overcome my shyness enough to speak. But she is gone.” (Lowry, 3)]]> 2020-04-09 19:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/501207916 Sikander Babar https://padlet.com/mbennett46/29vx5sflla5o/wish/501209240

The role memory plays in this novel is that, it is that all memories are held by one individual, the Receiver of Memory. Thus, memory is sort of a privilege/honor one could have. And with those memories, that person is able to witness terrible things that have happened in the past and then also feel those things. But they are also able to see good things that have happened, or good feelings that one may feel. And through those memories that person literally sees the world differently. Starting with seeing color, then even going on to see the society as it really is. Seeing that the society is keeping memories from the people, only to limit their choices, freedom, and desire. The society does this because it believes that it is keeping the people safe. Lack of memory affects society, due to the fact that it fully takes away the citizen’s ability to make their own decisions, decide what they love and do not like, and even how they live their lives. Lack of memory also allows the people of the community to easily be manipulated and brainwashed. The quote that supports this fact is, "

"Listen to me, Jonas. They can't help it. They know nothing." (Lowry, 153)

Consequences for a society when people have choices are that it causes for the people in power to have less control of their citizens. It can also cause conflicts society wide. Examples can include riots, caused by disagreement over certain topics. Society is impacted by personal choices, due to the fact that personal choices can set apart people in a society. Examples include Apartheid in South Africa and Segregation here in the United States. This can be supported with this quote, "

She stares at me in amazement that I have said such a hideous thing. (5)
