I thought the community in the story the giver was very well organized so there would not be that many problems. Must have been very easy to run a community where everyone just had their assignment picked for them. But I would not consider this a perfect community because people are not free to do what they want. Everything has to be done a very specific way. Especially when walking out in public. If you do one little thing not community chosen that mean you have done something very severe and had to serve big time. I think its good for organization but I like to be free to make my own choice instead of always being picked. So I think that every community may have a weak point.

Mark Twain created the Satires in his books for his readers to find entertainment. So far I have seen Tom make fun of churchgoers and the church judges. He is telling the children how their parents were when they were young. One satire I saw was when the church teachers dog kept on playing with a beetle and then the teacher threw the dog out of the window. I think Mark Twain was a good satire writer for those times during the 1850’s.
