  1. Introduction to The Giver

  2. “Utopia” In Context My utopia is called Awesomeville. It is very awesome here! It is everything you would ever want. There are big buildings everywhere! Everybody has a huge awesome house with 14 rooms, 15 bathrooms, and in every room of every house there is a golden chandelier covered in diamonds. On the streets candy shops and malls are on every corner. The streets are made of smooth stone. The sidewalks are always paved. It would be so cool to live here! The only jobs are the mall managers and candy store keepers. The most awesome thing is, Money grows on trees!!! The rules are: You have to have fun at all times, you have to like sports and you can’t be dangerous in any way! Please come and see my utopia for yourself.By: Christina
