Predictions for Jonas's Future

These changes in Jonas that we have seen throughout the book will most likely, in my opinion, cause him to take some action against the community. Jonas is angry about how the community got rid of all of the color, and he is angry at the community for piling all of the pain and suffering onto him and The Giver. However, if he does take action, I expect that The Giver will reveal something surprising. What I expect is that The Giver would have tried this already, and it would have failed. Also, I think that that something bad might happen to Gabriel, and part of Jonas's rebelling against the community would have to do with that. Another thing that could happen is that The Giver might agree with Jonas's idea (although I think this would be pretty unlikely), and decide to help Jonas rebel. If this were to happen, something bad may happen to The Giver. Also, the fact that Jonas can transfer memories, as seen with what he did to Gabriel,  may play a part later in the book.

The Genre of Dystopia

The EXPLOSION of the dystopian genre in the 21st century is because the two World Wars were still pretty fresh in peoples' minds. So, some guy probably got around to thinking "hey, we could make a lot of money off of the sorrow of others, lets write books about the apocalypse." Well, this random guy didn't know what he was in for, because now there are such famous classics like Fahrenheit 451, and The Hunger Games trilogy. Teenagers like these books because it sort of relates to the turmoil of their everyday life. They believe that everyone seems to have a better life than them (or at least from my experiences), and that their life is a dystopia of terrible events. The Giver showcases a dystopian society very well, as the fact that their lifestyle and society are extremely different than ours. Some games are also set in dystopian societies as well. Games such as Deus Ex and pretty much ever game that involves zombies is a dystopia.
