In the book titled "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, the author illustrates the future as a utopian society. The Giver is the one person that is able to see the reality of the world while the rest of the people are blinded and living the perfect life. It all goes wrong when the receiver which is Jonas decides to go against the tradition and rebels. He reveals the truth to the people. This book proves that there is no such thing as a utopian society. All the negatives are part of life, and that is what makes life cherish able.
Being human means being able to learn from your mistakes, see in color, and falling in crying. We need to be able to learn, experience, and feel. Life has its ups and downs and we should have the right to know it. Shielding the people from all the negative things won't show them that they are living a great life. They need to see to know the difference and know what is better. The people in the community live in equality and that is something that is unable to be achieved in the real world. Equality will sure take away some of the drama but at the same time, it takes away competition for one to strive for the better.
