THE SIGNATURE OF A DYSTOPIAN SOCIETY IS THE PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. THEY FEEL THEY ARE IN THE NORMAL WORLD. THEN SOMETHING HAPPENS TO SHOW WHAT THE REASON OF MEAN THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING ARE. THAT GIVES THE MAIN CHARACTER TOTALLY REASON TO FIGHT AGAINST THE RULERS. DARKNESS IS IN BOTH STORIES.
TIME TO COMPARE THE GIVER TO THE TIME MACHINE. IN THE GIVER THE PEOPLE HAD NO MEMORIES UNTIL THE END. TO LEARN TO HAVE EMOTIONS NEED TO HAVE MEMORIES. TIME MACHINE PEOPLE HAVE EMOTIONS HOWEVER THEY HAVE NO INTELLIGENCE. TIME TRAVELLER TELLS THAT THE CITIZENS THERE ARE TONNE LIKE CATTLE. THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME.
HANDS DOWN FEEL THE GIVER NOT IN AS NASTY AS A PLACE WHERE TIME MACHINE GOES. TIME MACHINE GOES TO TIME WHEN CANNIBALISM IS HAPPENING. IT IS SCARY IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN THE GIVER SOCIETY. THAT TIME HAS TO NEED THE TIME TRAVELLER TO TEACH KIND PEOPLE HOW TO MAKE FIRE. BEING SO DUMB IS GOOD FOR GETTING EATEN. IT SEEMS INTELLIGENCE REALLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN EMOTION AT LEAST IN DYSTOPIAN SOCIETIES.
I LEARNED SOCIETY IS FRAGILE IN BOTH STORIES. I SEE GIST AS THEY BOTH HAVE EVIL RULERS. I GET MAD AT THE RULERS NOT THE CITIZENS. THE CITIZENS DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. IT IS INTERESTING TO THINK SOCIETY HAS AT MOST GOOD INTENTIONS EVEN WHEN DOING EVIL THINGS. IT IS A SCARY THOUGHT.
