Answer:

The Giver describes a dystopian society, where people are assigned spouses and children. There are no holidays or traditions, and the people are unable to see colors. Meanwhile, the Committee of Elders controls every aspect of daily life, including what jobs people have, starting at age 12. Also, the Giver is a novel that at first appears to be set in a utopian society. As the story unfolds and the protagonist, 12-year-old Jonas becomes more aware of what is happening, we learn that he is actually living in a dystopian world.
