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.
"Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, and "1984" by George Orwell are often compared to "The Giver" for their exploration of dystopian societies, control, and conformity.
