I will be adressing the character question: Does the main character change or resist change?
In The Giver,the main character, Jonas, changes immensely throughout the course of the book.
In the beginning, he was content to live his life in conformity, however, as he learned more about what the community was really like, as well as just how much they were all missing, he realized just how horrid conformity can be. He stopped taking the pills that take away feelings because he found out one could have strong feelings. He wished for choices because he found out there were differences. In the end, he found what he once saw as perfectly normal so unbearable, he longed for change and yet, the community changed not once in the book. He was the one who had changed.
Sierra, This is a little on the short side. . .
