There are many comparisons between our world and the world Jonas lives in. Lois Lowry has created a made up world that has many diffrences but also some similarites.

Jonas lives in a world of Sameness. In his community, life has been changed to be a place without color, choice, feelings, love, or inequality - a “perfect” world to all. No one ever complains: this is how the community runs, and has been running for as long as citizens can remember.

In modern day society, it is important to view media through a critical lens to interpret the purpose of each piece. This interpretation skill is also necessary when viewing old pieces of text. William Shakespeare wrote The Taming of the Shrew at the end of the 16th century.

The play focuses on a concern of the Renaissance English society that some women were shrews, gossipy wives who resisted the assumed authority of a husband in a marriage.

In Lois Lowry’s The Giver, the Giver and Jonas use the two following quotes to justify their community’s idea of “Sameness”, where everyone is the same but has no choice. The Giver tells Jonas, “Life here is so orderly so predictable—so painless.” In response, Jonas says, “We really have to protect people from wrong choices.” Eventually, both Jonas and the Giver realize that sameness is wrong and that it is better to be equal, to have the same rights, but able to choose to be different.

A hero traditionally envisions themselves as a hero when they are put through countless challenges and trials. A hero’s journey follows a certain pattern known as The Hero’s Quest Cycle.
