A world without feelings is like a donut without a jelly filling.
That is what I think is the main difference between out world and the Givers
world. In my comparison I have found that the Givers world is a better place
for everyone because of sameness but I would rather live in our world full of
choice and freedom.
In my first statement I found that our world is better because of
the choice to buy what we need and what we desire. Unlike in the Givers world
they are given what they need but not always what they desire. I will show you
why I think this in the paragraph below.
In the Givers world they are given what ever they need but only on
special occasions are they given things they want. Unlike us, we buy things we
need and desire. The bad thing about this is that if we don’t have enough money
we sometimes can’t only buy what we want but also what we need. In the Givers
world they are never left without things they need but most of the time left
without things they want. That is one of the reasons I picked our world over
the Givers world.
The second statement is the choice to decide your job unlike in the
Givers world where you are GIVEN a job that you might like or might dislike. I
like being able to choose my future in a desired field of work. This is one
thing I wouldn’t give up and I hope to show you why below.
There are both pro’s and con’s about having the choice to pick your
job. If you get a good education in our world you have a much better chance of
picking what ever job you desire. In the Givers world they get their jobs based
on what they did in their recreation time. In our world they don’t really care
what we do in our spare time as long as we do well in school. If you do not
succeed in school you do not end up with a decent occupation in our world. So I
guess when I say you get to choose your occupation I guess I’m lying a bit.
None the less I would still rather do things our way then the Givers way in
getting a job.
In my last statement I would like
to bring up the argument of color. We get the opportunity to see color and we
probably take it for grant it. In the givers world color only exists to few
people in the community. Color is a wonderful thing and if I was put in to the
Givers world right now it would be really plain and boring. Like Jonas said in
the book “ I wish everyone could see color”.
You could also
bring up the argument that if we didn’t have color there would be no racist or
blond jokes. Lots of people would rather not have color because of those
reasons but I cannot put myself under that list. Even though there are racist
comments I still think this world needs color. If we didn’t have color we could
not experience color T.V, the stars at night or a rainbow.
In my conclusion I find that our world is better then the Givers for
one big reason. CHOICE. Choice is one thing I couldn’t give up no matter what.
I would rather live in our world with Choice and color (even if we aren’t the
perfect world) than live in a world without choice and color.
The End
