The Giver’s society will not let you do what you want. “He had been trained since earliest childhood,since his earliest learning of language, never to lie.”(Lowry 67) This text supports my answer by stating how in this society people can not lie at all.“You’re starting to see the color red.”(Lowry 89)This sentence from The Giver supports my thesis by saying that there is no color and they will not let you see color in the society in The Giver.“I want to wake up in the morning and decided things!”(Lowry 92)This text states that people can not decide things in the society of The Giver.
The society in The Giver will not let you decide to make your choice.“He might make wrong choices.”(Lowry
93).This refers to the quote that also states my answer by stating that citizens can not make wrong choices.“, because the books are forbidden to citizens.”(Lowry 96).This recalls to my thesis, because it says that books are forbidden to citizens.“Did you know that once there really were elephants.” (Lowry 95).This cites by saying that elephants nor animals do not exist in the society. The Elders who rule the society have strict customs that you must follow.“A blue tunic or a red one?” (Lowry 92).This text from The Giver says that children must wear tunics and not normal clothes.“This is a reminder to females under 9 that hair ribbons are to be neatly tied at all times.” (Lowry 12).This cites that from The Giver it says that if a citizen is nine and under that they must have their hair in ribbons and not down and free.“The difference between snack and smack.” (Lowry 52).This says that people living in this society can not mess up a word or they will be whipped.
