This place is a closed community. In this community there are many strict rules And rituals they folow. The feeling in the society seems to be calm and peaceful. The community of elders are watching the kids constantly . I think that the fact that the people in the community must be all alike with no diffrences. Also I think that the fact that all of the kids gets their bycicles at the same time or celebrate their "birthday" at the same time is strange too. I think I would enjoy the voluntire hours because that if I'll voulontire in a thing I like I'll probobly do it as my assigment as well. I think what will drive me crazy is that everyone has to be simular and unified so I will not be able to stand out or be special.

ReplyDeleteThis community is a closed place and has hard rules. Everyone has family unit with one boy and one girl. The people in this society are act like robots, they never breaking rules. I would enjoy the fact that everybody same, nothing strange. I wouldn't like that there isn't much freedom and that nobody doing something against the rules. I wouldn't want to be in society that released people who are old, because nobody know what is mean to released.
The so called "community is a place that lives peacefully and ts foundations are rules, order and more rules. Although it seems like the community is just trying to keep everyone in line to make a successful utopia but it seems like its nearly impossible to make your own decision without breaking the rules.

ReplyDelete"The Community" is a place with many strict rules and routines. Everyone has the same birthday, same routines, and basically the same lives. It is rude to point out people's differences, because this society wants everybody to be the same. Everybody is always being watched and everything is decided for them, including the clothes they wear, their careers, their schedules, what they eat, who they marry, which kids they raise, and so on. There are many things that seem off or different about this society. First of all, the fact that there are Birthmothers whose jobs are to have babies for other families to keep is really off in my opinion. After suffering for nine months, the Birthmthers have to give away their baby to a family which "applied" for it. Another thing that is strange is that there is a ritual where everybody is forced to say what they're feeling even if they do not want to. Something I might like about this society is that their lives are so simple. Every day is already planned out for them, they all have the same schedules, they take pills to not fall in love, every December they get something new, they apply for which baby they want, and so on. They don't have an hard decisions to make or problems to solve, every little detail of their life is already planned out for them by the Committee of Elders. Something that would drive me crazy is that I would have to live under so many rules and I wouldn't be able to make any choices for myself. I would not get any room for freedom and would live almost exactly like all the other people in the society.
The place Is the comunity A strict Rule Heavy Place with harsh punishments and almost evreything about everyone is the same.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that seems off about the community is its creepy feel and its citizens happiness even though they have no choice and no fun in life and have to do the same thing every day.
The thing that would deffintely drive me insane about the community is first of all the every day rituals that you are required to do another thing is that once an assingment is assinged to you, you never change it ultil the day you go to the house of the old.
The thing I would enjoy is the fact that you are given food and evreyone who applies for a spouse/children gets them eventually and there is not alot of serching involved, at least not for you.
This place is like a big kibbuts that everyone in it is almost the same, has the same houses, goes to the same school and so on... Also, the rules are very tight and the punishments are large. I would like the organization but not having anything special in my life would drive me crazy.

ReplyDeleteThe community is a closed place without a way out. There are specific strict rules and if you don't obey them you get heavily punished. There is a lack of choice, no freedom, you're always watched- your privacy is compromised.
The difference between other places and "the community" is the way that people are treated. For an example: every age there is a special occasion where all the kids together at the same age at the same time, receive special items (clothes, bikes) according to their development at the same age. Everybody gets the same amount of food, not allowed to take more than it.
The thing that I think I would enjoy is the fact that everyone is treated the same without any certain preferences.
The thing that would drive me crazy is that there's no choice, no freedom and people decide for you what to do, when and where.
:D

ReplyDeleteThe community is a place that at the beginning seems imaginary and perfect, but turns about to be dystopic. The different things about the community are that the community is very strict and there are very specific rules and rituals to to follow. I would enjoy about this society that everybody has a job, mostly like their jobs, everybody has friends, and life is very safe.
What would drive me crazy is that the strict rules, the fact that I have no choice on anything, and that I am being watched all the time.
The commuinty is a closed place with many rules and rituals to follow. The community causes everyone to be the same, and they do that in those ways: everyone goes to the same school, everyone has the same birthday, same routines and more... There is a group of elders in the commuinty that choose almost everything for the people: who will they marry, what baby will they have, what will be the name of the baby, what will be their job and more... Everyone is beeing watched all the time. I will enjoy about this society that I don't have to worry what will happen tomarrow and that every thing is under control. I thing that in this society, the facts that I don't have a choice in my life, and that I am being watched all the time will drive my crazy.
ReplyDeleteThe community is very strict, they are shut off from the rest of the world.They have many specific rules and if desobyed- you will be realeased. The citizens have verry limited liberty and privacy aswell. Choices and laws are choose for by the elders.
ReplyDeleteThe differences between the community and a different town or city is that; people have much more liberty and the choose their own perfession in different places. Also children were born on different dates (like in the community) and celebrate by their real date, unlike in the community wich celebrate a passing year for a child in december.
I would enjoy the fact that there are no criminals, it is very safe and peaceful. The fact that i have limited liberty would drive me insane!
The community is a closed place with many rules to follow. Everybody in the community is the same: everybody does the same thing and grow up the same way. I would like to learn in the same school as everybody or the big punishments for everything, but I think the releasing and that everybody is exactly the same would drive me crazy.
ReplyDeleteThe community is a very strict and closed society, with many rituals and rules which the citizens follow. There is no freedom or choices in the community, for everything is chosen for you to promise the best way of life. I think I would enjoy the lack of responsibility, because there is no pressure what so ever, but still having an everyday schedule to follow. But I would become totally crazy if I had no privacy, no freedom, and no independence.
ReplyDeleteThe community which the book describes is probably futuristic in an unknown location, maybe a country, maybe even the whole world. It has it's own very clear methods of sameness and equality through all ages, especially the younger ones when everything happens to everyone at the same age with no exception. Anything abnormal or un-ordinary is avoided and needs to not be mentioned in public, and there is a monochrome shade for everything. There is an obvious lack for the freedom of choice. Also, there are very strict rules that should be followed, and if someone disobeys it he shall be punished harsh-fully. Yet, somehow the people in the community seem to be happy and calm under this control, where each one seems to fill his own part and everybody helps each other. I do not have a clear opinion on this community. I'm sure of course it would be very irritating to live in such a closed up place, where there is such a huge lack of choice and almost no difference between one and the other. Yet, there is some sort of sense of organization in this society, each one is happy with his own part and what they have, and I think there is something very positive about it. I am surely glad that I do not live in such a place, but I also think we need to see the good things about it and not only the bad ones.
ReplyDeleteThis place is a closed community. It seems odd because the people are forced to do almost everything they do. I would like not having to choose some stuff, but I think that no freedom would drive me crazy.
