 Foreword
We do it an analysis in which two questions will be answered based on two books, the first
book is “the giver by Lois Lowry” and the second book is “The handmaid's tale by
Margaret Atwood”, both books are a dystopian novel. Taking into account the books
mentioned the questions to responds are: How could it be related to the real world? and
history of distopic literatur.

The Giver by Lois Lowry …..

A futuristic, imagined universe in which oppressive societal control and the illusion of a
perfect society are maintained through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or
totalitarian control
In the Given we can find a dystopia, all the people are controlled but the don´t care
because they don’t recognize the real world. A committee order theirs lives, they choose
what the people are going to do in the future (work, marriage, house, children, etc). They
have rules for everything and in this way the can controlled the people: and if they don’t
follow the rules, the committee punish them. In the book the protagonist jonas is the
person who knows he is in a dystopia, exactily when he go with the giver, after receiving
the memorias and he start to doubt and go against the rules giving Know what you have
seen.
In the real world we can find Some things that we can see or relate with a dystopia, the
goverment Sometimes controlled us, but they dont do it directily. The society have rules,
laws and the people must follow it. Also the religión is a other thing that wants controlled
the people telling to them goo things Sometimes but if they dont allow the rules or its
commandments its bad. In conclusion the society make us belive that we are free but we
cant do whatever we want, because we live with others and we cant do anything.
