Prompt 1 - In the Giver, everyone is nearly the same. All things are controlled and individuality has been eliminated. All this is done to bring peace to the common good Is there an advantage to this way of life and how can it be used in today's world?

Prompt 2 - Discuss the attitude toward euthanasia as expressed in The Giver. Does the novel condemn, promote, or donditionally accept the practice? Explain your choice with evidence from the text.

Answer 1

Answer:

Prompt 1: The society in the Giver, is structured in such a way that promotes security over freedom. The people have no choices or freedom of any kind, yet they don't need to worry about getting enough resources, or basic survival needs because everything is planned out by the government.

Prompt 2: I would say that the attitude toward euthanasia is mostly accepted because that is what is written into the society, and part of your planned out life. However, I think you would need to go back to the text and pay attention to the tone and word choices around that subject.
