In The Giver, Jonas has to conform to his

community's expectations and has to be the same

as them to do this. Text evidence can be found on

page 70 "females lose their braids at age ten, and

males, too, relinquished their long childish hair and

society, he has to conform and dress a certain way.

Another example of this can be found about

dressing to signify your conformity and therefore

conformity is a theme in The Giver. In A Wrinkle In Time, conformity is a theme. On

page 5 when Meg does not act the way her

classmates do and expect, a girl says to her "After

all Meg, we aren't grammar school kids anymore.

Why do you always act like such a baby?" Meg

wants to conform with the society around her and

fit in. In chapter nine, when Meg confronts an

extension of IT, IT suggests that Camazotz is a

perfect society "Everybody exactly alike." Meg finds

that everybody conforming as one being is not a

perfect society and that being the same does not

put everyone on the same level saying "No! Like and

equal are not the same thing at all!" This shows that

in the beginning of the text Meg longs to

conform to society's expectations but by the end

thinks that everybody conforming and being alike is

bad and embraces that she does not meet her

worlds expectations.
