In the book The Giver by Lois Lowry it starts out revealing that they are in late December representing short and dark days. If The Giver is trying to be portrayed as a Utopian society where everyone follows the rules and nothing "Bad" ever happens. Why does it start out so dark? Is it that it's forshadowing the future. In my opinion the society in The Giver is like a dictatorship because no one is allowed to express themselves unless they are given the gift too by the Giver like Jonas was. I think the society is more of a Dystopia beacuse no one really has a say to what they want.
Good point about the dictatorship like atmosphere in the book. Your post is a good length for giving us enough of your perspective to get a good take on this topic.
