In the novel, The Giver, by Lois Lowry, Jonas lives in a world of conformity. When Jonas became the new Receiver, he was presented with memories from years past, pleasant and troubling. Jonas quickly realized that conformity gives you some favorable options such as, security and respect, but, he longs for more, such as love, hope, and, individuality. Jonas travels beyond the community, the only home he has ever known, to Elsewhere, where he can set his burdening memories free and find a better life. In The Giver, Lois Lowry uses language, characters, and mood to develop the theme that conformity can go too far.
Lois Lowry uses language as a main signal of conformity. She uses euphemisms to show the readers that the citizens are being deceived.
