What would it be like to live in a community where everything appears perfect? What if all decisions were made for you? In the book The Giver, by Lois Lowry, the main character Jonas lives in a community where all the choices are made for the citizens. There are many pros and cons to living in a community like this.
A positive thing about this community is that the elders pick the right job for you.This is good because you don’t have to worry about picking your job. Another reason is that you don’t worry about picking the wrong job. A last reason is that you get more time for your family.
Another thing is that the elders pick the right person who you will marry. A reason why this is good is because you don’t have to search who you like. Another reason why this is good because you don’t have to worry about divorce. A last reason is not having to pick who you mary gives some time to yourself.
A negative thing about this community is that they never give you the power of choice. A reason is that you can’t pick who you marry. Another reason is that you can’t pick your job. The last reason is that you can’t pick who you really want to marry.
Another bad thing is that you get released. A reason why this is bad because they will kill you. Also they released the old and the unhealthy babies. The last reason is that when you are released you will never see your family again.
This community appears perfect and makes the choices for you.I would like to live in this community because i won’t have to search for my job or who i will marry. Even though I will get released and I won’t have the power of choice i still want to live there.
