Lois Lowry in The Giver does a better job capturing how the citizens and Jonas is restricted to the community and has a fear of the places beyond the boundaries of the community, where as Lois Lowry in Gathering Blue, Kira and the people are not restricted, but fear the places outside of the boundaries. In many ways there are the same like how the citizens have a fear of the outside world or how there is a group of people that are worshipped throughout the community.
In Gathering Blue, the female protagonist Kira, is assigned the weaver of the future, and in the community people are independent and some are even left for dead, they do follow the rules even during desperate times because if not they would be sent to the field to be taken away from the beasts. In The Giver, the male protagonist Jonas, is selected for a job where he has the power to relive the past and in the community, everybody is taught to follow the rules and isn’t allow to brag, complain, or violate the rules or else they will be released or killed. A dystopian community, is a community where a perfect society is built through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or totalitarian control.
In both dystopian stories, Gathering Blue and The Giver, Lois Lowry clearly captures how the citizens of the community has a fear for the outside world, but in The Giver the way they control the community is more efficient and organized, while in Gathering Blue they are more messy and heartless.
