The Giver
by Lois Lowry
Dark, (11/27/2022)
This book is not fun. It is not for a 11-15 age group in my opinion, since many in this age are too ignorant of the past. Some people can say it is thought provoking, wow what a weird society..But I suggest a thorough reading of Anne Franks Diary or “The Testimony” by Halina Wagowska. These are real books about real life dystopian societies that occurred in the not too distant past. The saviors for oppressed people are sadly few and one thing this author seems to forget is the greed and selfishness that make up human nature, regardless of the society or system of government we live in. Human nature is what makes a painless society something truly impossible. Communism promises everything that this fake society does in a similar way, and is probably the closest reality or parallel of an existing society today. Take a look at Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea and China, these are similarly dystopian societies of the real world. The communists never want to admit their system of government is a piece of garbage that only leads to more pain and poverty, with fake promises of equality, fairness and opportunity, instead they infiltrate the educational system and look to brainwash young ignorant people with lies. The product, AOC and others like her. Sadly these idiots are elected government officials, lets see what future dystopia they have in mind. I am not too excited to find out about a world where you own nothing and are happy, but that seems to be the mantra.
