What did I learn about Dystopian Fiction?
I learned about what Dystopian Fiction is and how it can change the view of our modern world; dystopian fiction is an imaginary world where the society is being oppressively controlled in a dehumanizing way. The message of this style of writing is to usually question the methods of how our modern way of life is being managed.
How does Dystopian Fiction Encourage me to think about Real Life?
Dystopian Fiction commonly encourages one to see the inequalities of this world, and how it is managed. For example, in the Giver, we are shown to be in a “perfect world”, with no major issues. This, however, was at the cost of dehumanizing the population using conformity and social control. In our modern world, thought it would seem more inhabitable, the consequences are far more immense, such as deforestation, warfare, and destruction.
Was the Giver Enjoyable?
I enjoyed the Giver, for a vast variety of reasons. The Giver was a very suspenseful book. The author Lois Lowry would constantly delay or separate major events between chapters, making the novel exciting to read. Additionally, it had made me personally think and question, whether it was within the book or in the outside world.
