Lois Lowry's 1993 book, The Giver, portrays a collectivist, futuristic, altogether foreign society simply known as The Community. Its residents live sanitized lives and by stringent, even dictatorial statutes. Precision of language, telling one's family unit their dreams at breakfast, and a formal apology for every interruption are just some of the bizarre rules that virtually all citizens must follow, on penalty of being released into elsewhere.
However, while we real-life readers might find The Community to be one heck of a strange place, we're still able to comprehend them. The Community residents trying to comprehend us, on the other hand, is a whole different matter entirely. So, upon being magically bestowed with the needed knowledge by the powers that be, how would they react to the world that we present-day OTL people live in?
Thank you in advance,
