Examples Of Utopian In The Giver

Humanity isn’t perfect, nothing is. In the book, The Giver, by Lois Lowry, the communities rules are not utopian. They just make sure everything is perfect.
One reason this community is not a utopian society is because old and new people get killed because of their differences. “We’ve never completely mastered sameness.” For example, newborn twins have to be measured and the lightest of the two have to be released. In order for this society to be utopian, it needs to be un flawed. This means that the society has to be perfect. Another reason is because of the rules: “two children-one male, one female-to each family unit.” (Lowry)
This may be a rule, but is not perfect because a family might only want two girls, two boys, or one boy and girl
