The theme I got out of the this story was not eveyone is happy in a perfect world.I belive this is it because eventhough the society in which Joans lived in was a utopia it wasn't human. The whole community did not know adout love when Joans asked his parents if they loved they said the word was obsolete like they were robots or something.I know for a fact I do not want to live in a place that is hart less.Also I do not belive a place that thinks everyone is the same is not a grat place to live.
