What do you like and dislike about the rules in the society in The Giver?
What job would you think would suit you best in this society?
I dislike this society because everyone dresses the same and they do the same job over and over again. I really would like to dress different and have a different job from other people.
I do like this society because there are no wars, crimes or hunger. Everyone is treated the same and I also like that everyone is riding a bike instead of driving a car.I do not like that you are given an "assignment" and must work there even if you dont like it.I also do not like that you are given a family instead being allowed to make your own.

I didnt like their society because everyone is the same. There's nothing different , all the people get their jobs given to them , they don't choose anytihng. They all have to wait till they're a certain age to get certain toys.
I don't like the way things are in this book , because you can only have two kids in their community and the birth mothers don't get to see their child. The community gets to pick your future job.
What I like about the Giver is that there is freedom, their is communities, how they respect each other. I dislike how they don't get to choose their spouse, and they don't get to choose their jobs.
I hate the world because if you mess up you die like really, come on, that is so not fair. I think that it should be against the law to sit there and kill someone because they made a mistake. Be honest! I HATE the book because I find it is mean, cruel and just not right whatsoever.
I dont like this world because its not normal.and if you do anything wrong you die or they let you go.They make you do somthing you'r not good at and if it's your first day and you make a mistake you die or they'll let you go.
The book is a good read, it is hard to put down. In a way, it is kind of messed up. I would recommend it to someone. The job I think I would be good at is a lawenforcement officer.
I wouldn't like to live in the world of The Giver. I don't like the whole idea of people telling what to do and making choices in my life. I like to make my own choices and try different things in life. I would like a job repairing bikes.
The Giver is a very good book but doesn't make total sense. Why would the community make your own choices for you when it's your own life? I would like to make my own choices. There's not a lot of freedom and no music or animals. There's lots of rules and half of them dont make sense. I would not like to live in The Giver world. But the world sounds very pleasant and respectful. I would like a job helping people, like the nurturing centre or an elderly home.
