Sameness In The Giver

The only way to explain that is if he is alive, and if he is experiencing it, and if he is hearing it. Jonas must be alive to be able to hear and understand

HOOK: “Do you love me” It was a honor that jonas was picked as the receiver. Jonas felt the feeling of memories,Jonas gets to feel love,Jonas has the feeling of great happiness.

“‘I couldn’t quite get the word for the whole feeling of it, the feeling that was so strong in the room.’ ‘Love,’ The Giver told him” (Page 125). This shows words of the wiser because The Giver explains that love is what completes the feeling of family, and how great it feels. In the life that they are living, Jonas’ parents can’t say if they love him. They are unable to understand what that word means because they are in such a black and white world, where everything is the same. This next example shows us how Jonas wants to let other people

The things that make people human could be easily be taken away. In the book, The Giver, the government has made the citizens believe that sameness is good to have. The government would even go far enough to get rid of twins to completely avoid a little confusion. People are being forced to believe that sameness is a good thing and that being unique or different is a bad thing. These people are prevented from learning about the outside world. In The Pedestrian, people aren’t doing anything except for watching tv. The police catches a man, Leonard Mead, late at night walking and they suspect he’s doing a suspicious act. The police ask what he’s doing and he says that he’s just taking a walk like what he’s been doing for years.

By the end of the quote, Jonas is feeling a bit more relieved. This is telling the reader that Jonas was frightened and he got over

In The Giver, there is no difference, there is only sameness. And while everyone in the community are basically brain washed from past memories, the fact that there is sameness affects Jonas’s life completely. “It was a sound of rage and grief and it seemed never to end.” This sentence is from when The Giver gives Jonas a memory of men hunting, and is a perfect example as to why Jonas’s community chose sameness over difference, and why no one (except the Receiver) is able to pertain memories. The whole reason the community chose to go to sameness, is so there would be no chaos. What the community basically decided was, if there is sameness, there is no pain, and no chaos. But while this was a good reason for the community to choose

Jonas, the main character of The Giver, becomes different by being an intellectual (pg. 127). He knows more than most and therefore feels

What would it feel like living in a world which everyone is same and the life is monotone?In “The Giver”,written by Lois Lowry,there’s a community based on perfection and the citizens who have strict and ethic rules to prevent their community from becoming unethical and unequal.Lowry conveyed her ideas both with in advantages and disadvantages,and the diversity which citizens in the community have lost.

The Giver describes a society in search of perfection, which is a recurring theme in literature. Somebody in Jonas’s society decided that eliminating or limiting choices and feeling, among other things, would ultimately create a perfect place in which to live. By eliminating and/or limiting choices and feelings, the creators were able to implement Sameness, which would then provide a conflict-less environment in which to exist.

As Jonas leaves the community, he learns being true to oneself takes great courage, knowledge is useless without memories, and love conquers all. In The Giver, readers notice being true to oneself takes great courage. In Jonas’s community, the government tries to control the citizen’s feelings by giving them pills.

The novels, Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, show the negative views of imperialism in Africa. Chinua Achebe was raised in Nigeria, which gives him a particular credibility that is incomparable, his use of Pathos comes directly from the source which also gives him Ethos. On the other hand, Joseph Conrad had experience in both the French and British merchant navies.

Because their emotions will alter and will change the way they feel. An example of incompatibility is parents, over time and rarely immediately; lovers sometimes do get tired of one another and often would like to divorce after a period of time together. This scenario would not have come up in Jonas' community because couples are simply assigned to each other without question, with no emotional attachment to one another. Love like what couples have; a type that comes and goes; is the essence of the world. Imagine life without

Starting ninth grade almost what seemed like forever and a half ago, the last two weeks of October were filled with minimal Tri-State wide preparation for the imminent storm. “Remember how Irene was bull shit last year?” and “Being the weatherman is the only job where you still get paid for being wrong” were the two most hackneyed sayings. During the last week of October, the storm was taken a little more seriously; school had been shut down and all of the desks, pencils, and notebooks had been swapped out with jugs of water, cots, and self-heating military meals. The entire island was in a frenzy. The line to acquire gas could be compared to that of the 1973 Oil Crisis.
