Good morning class. Today we are going to talk about the Giver. In the communities of the book, there are odd things and good things. 
One of the odd things is that children all have the same birthday. This probably means that they don't want to express( ask someone "what?" ) individuality. They want everyone to be equal. Some Communist countries do this too. The idea is for everyone to be equal and there to be no poverty and injustice. In the book this is what happens, but in most Communist countries, human greed overtakes their leaders and they become tyrants. 
Another odd thing is that jobs are chosen for them. Again, this probably means that they don't want to express individuality. This is also done in Communist countries. For some people, like Asher, this would be good because they don't have to make tough decisions for themselves. For others, like Jonas, this would be bad because they are able to make these kinds of decisions for themselves and might be disappointed at what job they recieve. 
One good thing about the community is that there isn't any poverty. Because of the Communist style community that works, there is no poverty as well as unemployment. Without these nobody would go hungry, nobody would go thirsty, and everybody would have money. This means that everybody would be well-educated, well-groomed, and well-informed about everything. Just think what the world would be like today if Communism worked.
