Many novels you will read are about what a perfect world or utopia possesses and how an absolute utopia is an impossibility.
What would a Utopian world be like for you? What would some of the rules be? Would there be rules?

There would be lots of rules and limits in a perfect world just as there are in Jonas's community. Everyone would be same and equal in a perfect world.
I think too many rules and sameness make life monotonous. For me in a perfect world people have the equal rights. The punishments for crime would be very awful so no one would dare to do something bad. Everybody would be able to have education and use their creativity. I think the people in the community in The Giver have boring lives
Jonas' community is sort of like a dystopia - something that was supposed to be a utopia but has gone very wrong.
sameness is not good. every person is so different from each other, it would be unfair to try to make everyone the same.
for me, the perfect world isn't where everybody is equal. it's unfair to be the same. people who works hard, deserves better. Jonas's community is unfair and boring.
I agree with Buse. Their lives are indeed boring. Everyday is the same and there is no excitement in their world. I think our lives are better.
In Jonas's society, which is supposed to be "utopia", everyone's equal, there are no discriminations, their budgets, their food, their houses, the number of children and siblings are the same. At first, you kinda think that this is a good thing, a good place to live in. But then, you start to see that there is nothing in the society that will make the people unique, special or different. Nobody has their own thoughts, experiences, difficulties, feeling of love, trust, or memories. The sameness they have destroys their spirits, and suddenly, you see that it's "distopia"
