The Giver Book Series

In "The Giver," the society values sameness to ensure stability and control. By limiting individuality and differences, the community believes it can prevent conflict, jealousy, and competition among its members. This way, everyone is expected to conform to the same standards and rules, creating a uniform and predictable society.

He demonstrates this by helping Jonas escape, knowing that he would be taking the memories with him, and that with his death and not having given the memories to anyone else, they would return to the community.

The community in the book "The Giver" was engineered to be without color to suppress individuality and emotions. By controlling every aspect of their environment, the society aimed to create a sense of sameness and control over its inhabitants. This lack of color also serves as a symbol of the absence of diversity, creativity, and freedom.

The rules in "The Giver" are particularly puzzling because they limit personal choice and freedom in an effort to maintain control and create sameness within the community. This strict control contrasts with the emotions and memories that the Receiver of Memories experiences, leading to confusion and curiosity about the value of individuality and emotional experiences. The rules also create tension as characters grapple with the consequences of breaking them and the implications of questioning authority in a seemingly perfect society.

Jonas does not fully comprehend that the infant has been killed until he sees it put into a box and dumped away like garbage.
