Symbolism In The Giver

“The practice of cloud-seeding garnered considerable attention in the run up to the Beijing Olympics.” Jonas had asked the giver why are there no colors. The Giver said, “Our people made that choice, the choice to go to sameness,” (Lowry 95). This describes how in Jonas’s community there is no climate as the community made the choice to have this type of climate control; and this exists in our society today. In The Giver, Jonas finds out that his community doesn’t know what the meaning of color and the feeling of it. Climate control still exists in our world today. Readers of The Giver in this world feel that as if Jonas’s community is a dense world because of the unreal climate control that still exists today, but is more successful.
First, climate control exists and is used all around the world. “President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez has enlisted the aid of Cuban pilots to combat the droughts a program of cloud seeding,” (Sullivan 7). Climate control seems to be very important to many countries as many do this.Secondly, climate control can be successful as to helping the environment. Climate control is not just used for events, but wild life too. “Then you can save the extra water in a reservoir for when you are in a drought,” (Moseman 3). This shows how climate control can lead you out of droughts which means it’s successful. Climate control still exists in many places though it still thrives, it is very successful. Climate control still exists in our world today. So people making the choice of sameness chose to have that type of climate control and are normal and successful with it therefore representing the same in our community today.
