👁️ The Giver ~ Jonas and the Giver 🤲
The Giver.
- Lois Lowry.
Old youth literature, the dystopian genre that the setting of the subject is a "community" that will not have pain, competition, or even a deep sense of something (such as love) to lead to a society with as much "order" and "equality" as possible.
.. "Life here is so orderly, so predictable - so painless. It's what they've chosen."
The order is controlled by a group of people called "elders," and the elders control even who has a duty to do what within the community (the people cannot choose their own occupation)... who have a duty to conceive and give birth (the people who do not have this duty forbid their own pregnancy, have their own children)... and the babies born will only be sent to the families of the elders' choice (the children will not be with their own real mothers), and so on.
🤯 ---- Personal comments ---- 🤯
The story opens up like a utopian story, but it finally turns out to be a dystopian where everyone is unwittingly controlled, a kind that no one doubts, and there's a dark hidden "release" that everyone understands as a journey to a beautiful place, but actually... 😳🤯
At first it felt very good. The concept of "Sameness" is that everyone is equal, but when you keep reading it, it's equal!? Is it equal like this? It's done this much!? My parents bullied me + eggs in a super mega rock.
And while everyone seems to have the pleasure of not having to perceive joy and pain, there are two people who are underbearers of the whole community! When reading, they want to scream out loud instead... pity, and very uncomfortable instead.
This is fun, addictive, strange storyline, but not a fantasy whiz... easy to content, moderate weight, can be read to delimit heavy content books to a certain extent.
