Jona's Community
In Jonas’ and my community, there are many differences and similarities. In my community we do not refer to a community that is perfect. Jonas’ community refers to their community that is perfect. Jonas’ community has many differences, but here are a few. The people that live in that community can only see in black and white. They do not know what color is or experienced it. The people have never felt real emotional or physical pain. Sometimes they would fall and scrape their knees, but they take pain relief pills to stop their pain so it not real intense, throbbing pain. Jonas’ community can’t also feel love. When Jonas asked his parents if they loved him they said no because they don’t use that word “love” anymore. Jonas’ community has a lot of differences.
My community also has a lot of differences, and there are so many I can only list a few. The people in my community can see in color. After the rain has come and gone there is a beautiful rainbow stretched across the light blue sky. In my community we can feel real emotional or physical pain. I will feel sorry for someone that has died, and I have broken a bone but we never took pain relief pills. My community can also feel love. My mom and dad say I love you all the time and they really show their love. Compared to my community and Jonas’ community there are a lot of differences. Both our communities have a lot of similarities too. In both communities, they have a rule that if someone receives their third strike they will receive a discipline. In my community if we were caught in school we will receive a detention, but in Jonas’ community they will be released. Both communities have rules. In my community we have rules in school, at home, and everywhere, but in Jonas’ they only have rules in their school and in their home. In both Jonas’ and my community there are many similarities.
Jonas’ and my community both have similarities and differences. I would like to stay in my own community. Three reasons I

    Peck explains the word "community" as something that we tend to overuse without ever truly understanding it; almost making it meaningless. We have a tendency to relate ourselves to our neighbors, without having ever actually talked to them. I recently moved into a rental house close to school. I have been living there a few months and have only so much as spoken to one of my neighbors. This one neighbor, coincidentally, happens to be my landlord. While geographically this is an area where many people and I have…

    A community is a place where people around supposed to be able to live and thrive together. When one thinks of a community, the image that most likely is visualized is one of a place where each person lives harmoniously with all the other members of that community. While this may be the typical image of a community, it is not the realistic view. In reality communities can share both good and bad aspects. In Place Matters: Metropolitics for the Twenty-First Century Peter Dreier, John Mollenkopf, and Todd Swanstrom make the argument that the place a person lives ultimately matters over all else; the place which a person lives effects the choices that that he/she makes and determines his/her ability to obtain a high quality of life.…

    Jonas is the main character in The Giver by Lois Lowry. In Jonas’s community it’s natural to be doing everything the loudspeaker says, it is the way to surrvive. Only Jonas and the Giver can see in color. Everyone in Jonas’s community thinks it is natrual that the leaders can listen to every conversation. All adults have to apply for a spouse and children. Which means you get assigned to a family unit. Not very many people are even aware there is much life outside of the community because it is so closed. But, most of all no one even knows that when someone is to be released it means you are killed with euthanasia, except for Jonas and the Giver. No one even knows of the concept of death.…

    The Giver Comparison

    For example, Jonas and Brian live with totally different communities, practices, and lifestyles. Jonas lives in a community where everyone is based on sameness with no pain, emotion, or differences. Jonas grows up knowing only what Chief Elder allows them to know and doesn’t have any real family members. Brian lives in Detroit, Michigan, with his mother Liz and his father Cole, with no boundaries of where to go or what to learn, unlike Jonas. In addition, another difference they have is who they live with and who they have to take care of. Jonas lives with his fake mother, father, lily, and Gabe who Jonas takes care of and shares memories with. Brian only lives with his mother because his father left when he was little to become a pitching coach in Japan, leaving Brian to take care of his mom and that’s it. In conclusion, they have differences that set them apart from each other even though they are so much alike.…

    Family, culture, and community are essential foundations of our lives. People are influenced greatly by their families and communities. Our parents heavily impact us from our formative years since all of our time is spent with them. We are impressionable in our youth and spending most of our time with our parents can influence us in many ways. Firstly, family and community can create our living environment, and they help us develop our own characteristics of personality and various behaviors, whether good or bad. What’s more, the family environment might decide our hobbies and occupations; we might become like our parents. Besides, our lives are profoundly affected by our experiences in ethnic groups and cultural traditions, and we might have the same religion with our family members. Briefly, family and community have a tremendous impact on our lives and the decisions we make.…
