What Is The Giver A Perfect Society

The Giver is perceived as a perfect society, but has little bumps that cannot be worked out; a lot like our society, with big bumps that give us our freedom. For instance, in our society motorized vehicles are our main way of transportation; while theirs is a bike. We have the ability to see color and feel deeply, while they have to take a pill every morning to make those feelings (stirrings) and colors go away. In my opinion, and apparently also to Lois Lowry as this was the main point of her book, the biggest difference is the everyday citizens ability to hold and remember things. This is the need for a Receiver, to hold and keep the memories safe from the rest of the people.
