The Giver is considered a dystopian society because the government in The Giver is controlling the freedom of the people living there. In the text it states,"Jonas thought again about that incident.He was still bewildered by it. Not by the announcement or the necessary apology; those were standard procedures, he had deserved them- but by the incident itself. He probably should have brought up his feeling of bewilderment that very evening when the family unit had shared their feelings that day." (Ch3,pg 29)

The Giver is considered a dystopian society because it's a bad place where a government can be controlling and has rules. Most people don't like the fact that their life is planned for them but can't do anything about it while the government just gives orders. "ATTENTION. THIS IS A REMINDER TO FEMALES UNDER NINE THAT HAIR RIBBONS ARE TO BE NEATLY TIED AT ALL TIMES". (Lowry 28 par 2).

The Giver is considered a dystopian society, because of how the government treats their community. The government controls everyone in their community they have multiple rules for them to follow and the community follows the rules without questioning what they are because they don't want to get in trouble.

The giver is considered a dystopian society because of the controlling government and loss of freedom. According to the text,"Three births, and that's all. After that they are Laborers for the rest of their adult lives, until they enter the House of the Old."(Lowry,27) This proves that they have a controlling government and loss of freedom because birth mothers are forced to have three births and becomes laborers until they enter the House of the Old.

The giver is considered a dystopian society because of how the government is controlling,and how the people are not allowed to do normal things like we can. For instance they are only allowed to have two kids one being a girl, and the other being a boy. For proof, "Two children one male, one female to each family unit. It is written VERY clearly in the rules". So that is one example of how in "The Giver" they have a dystopian society.

The Giver is a dystopian society because Now, thinking about the feeling of fear as he pedaled home along the river path, he remembered that moment of palpable, stomach-sinking terror when the aircraft streaked above. Jonas was careful about language. Not like his friend Asher, who talked too fast and mixed things up, scrambling words and phrases until they were barely recognizable and often very funny.(paragraph 1 & 2), page 4

The giver is considered a dystopian society because of the government controlling them, and not allowing them to do normal things like having as many kids that they want. For example they are only allowing them to have two kids one girl, and one boy that is it. For proof, "Two children: one male , one female, each family unit. It was written very clearly in the rules." (P.g. 8). So this explains how, "The Giver" has a dystopian society.

How does Jonas's POV help you understand how, he feels about the upcoming ceremony of 12?

The Giver is considered a dystopian society because it is simply not a good place to live. The families are constantly being controlled by the government, over things that they really can't control, evidence that supports is, "you know the rules Two children --one male, one female to each unit. It was clearly written in the rules" (Lowry 11) this is not a good rule because it takes away the family's freedom to choose how their house holds looks, and it takes away the families freedom to have their own kids.

How does Jonas point of view contribute

to the dystopian society?

2025-12-09 20:38:45 UTC

The giver is co a dystopian society because the government is controlling them and treating them like they are robots. The texts states that " LEAVE YOUR BIKES WHERE THEY ARE." (par 3) pg. 2 and " All citizens are being ordered to go into the nearest building and stay there." this tells us how they are controlling their every move.
