The Giver: Create A Utopian Society

A Utopian society is a place that is the perfect place to live.  Jonas lived in a ‘perfect’ world where there was no war, pain or fear.  The Community was also a place without color, personal choice or individuality.  Some might argue that The Community was not a Utopian society, but a place of sameness, rules and cruelty, while others might think it was a safe and efficient place to live.  What do you think?  Would you like to live in Jonas’ world or perhaps the world he escaped to with Gabriel?  If you were to create your own Utopian society, what would it look like (use vivid language to describe this place using sights, sounds, feelings, actions)?
 How would it feel to be a part of this society?  What would be the rules/laws of your Utopian society? Where would your utopia be located?   Who would live there?  What would be your population?  Who governs your society?  How does it run?

“What is it really like to live here? If you were to tell a story about living in Vermont to someone from another country, what story would you tell to show that person what it was like? What descriptive words could you use to help the reader create a mind movie about Vermont?  What things could you share with the reader to show them how if feels to be you for a day?  You may chose to tell them about maple syrup, cold snowy days,  mountains or fall leaves. Tell the person a story that would show him/her what your life is like. “
