(Anonymous) 2012-06-06 12:59 am (UTC)(link)This is what velvet_mace said, "Just couldn't buy into it other than it being a kind of a philosophical sermon that doesn't take in account for a lot of reality."
But that's implying that unrealistic population statistics (of all things) made her think that the world was unrealistic and basically a philosophical sermon...and not the fact that everything the Giver does is pretty much entirely magic with absolutely no basis in reality and no explanation given that exists only to illustrate a philosophical sermon.
It's using a silly justification to come to a conclusion that is already present in the text. A conclusion that seems disparaging in tone despite the fact that that was the point of the book.
