This article by Maggie Stiefvater explains her thoughts on the  dystopian trend for teenager readers. She feels that these books reflects these readers’ world. Teenagers want to experience this black and white choice that is presented to them in these novels.  Also, Stiefvater states, “If only the evil in the world was named Voldemort, we could get down to the business of slaying it.”This demonstrates readers actually having the ability to understand what is evil and in this world it is hard to decipher this.  I agree with the author because dystopian novels are here to give young readers an outlet to a different world than what they are used too. Although, these novels do have some realistic characteristics it allows us to think about life in a different way. This creates imagination for not only young readers but anyone who reads these novels.  The connection I found with The Giver is Stiefvater talking about this black and white choice. Jonas lived in a world that was based off of this choice no adventure or creative was allowed. Everything was either this way or that no in between especially when it came to his father deciding what twin to release.  All in all, these novels are important for young readers to have this outlet available to them.
