The communities of The Giver and The Village are both very different from ours but they are also very different from each other. For example The Village is in modern day but The Giver is in the future. The giver has no felling, no emotions at all but The Village has most of the emotion, and the last example is The Village even though it's in modern day has technology that were available in the 1800, The Giver has more technology than we do right now.
In The Giver they have no emotions at all. There is no love so people have to apply for a spouse. In The Village for marriage it is the same thing here you find love and then you marry someone. There are emotions and feelings in The Village so it is a lot like our environment when it comes to feeling. In The Giver you not only have to apply for a spouse to get one you also have to apply for a kid. In The Village they have babies the same way we do.
Lots of things get covered up by elders in both of the community however they're completely different. In The Village the elders say that there are creatures in the woods so no one goes to the woods which lead into the towns however the creatures are actually the elders dressed up. They don't want the people to go to the towns because the elders that use to live in the towns have a bad experience and all of them have lost a family member. In The Giver everything is covered up about the real world. Not even the elders no what the real world is like because it was made a long time ago. The only person that really knows about the real world is the receiver of memory.
The Giver and The Village were both made for completely different reasons. The Giver was made to get rid of pain and do this they removed all the colors, took away the memories from everyone and took away emotions and feelings. They did this by technology of the future. The Village however was made for completely different reasons it was made to protect their people from the awful people of the towns. They say that bad things like murder happen in the towns.
It must be tough to live in these communities but I guess if you don't know about the real world it shouldn't be tough. I would rather live here but between the communities I would live in The Village because not only because it has feelings and emotions but also because it has colors and I can't even begin to imagine a world without colors.
