the author of the giver is making  the community very boxed in and isolated and concealed from everything else. the community is supposed to be a perfect envirement but to me it doesnt seem like that at all because rules create problems, and no rules create problems so either way there community cant be perfect, nothing can. this community just sounds harsh and cruel very unorthidox to run a society because people are assigned children, jobs, and partners which is just having your life chosen for you and is in no way perfection. in my eye perfection would be straight 90s and up in school, going to the best college, having a job that you love to do and having a beautiful family that you will always lave and care for. not to be bossed around and living in a world where mistakes are unacceptable. making mistakes is part of life itself.
