Characterization The Giver is a very patient, and nonchalant person.
I would characterize the Giver as a patient and nonchalant person, because he never ranted about how horrible the city he lived in was, and always listened to what Jonah had to say about his thoughts on the city’s ways. He never tried to argue, even though he seemed like a rebellious person with the plan to get Jonah out of the city. The Giver also didn’t seem to get upset when he saw the Release of the twin- he just calmly explained the situation to Jonah. The Giver never tried to speak out in the community that the author talked about, even though he had the power to tell the entire city what was going on with color and feelings and Releases.

It is very similar in many ways. The government has strict laws and guidelines, and if they are not followed, then the government can punish the offenders by death if it is severe enough. That only happens in extreme situations, however. Jonah’s world was much more strict, however. They would make city-wide announcements about wrongdoings, and if it was the adults who stepped out of line, they would normally be ‘released’, also known as killed. Another similarity between the two is how people have a job until they are at a certain age normally (the US’s average retirement age is 62 years old), then most people go to a retirement home. The citizens of the community in The Giver worked until they went to an Older home, which is a lot like a retirement home. The people have less of a choice where they go, and they have to stay at a certain job until the are at a certain age. In America, people can choose if they want to stay at a job or not, and they can also be fired. I would think that in Jonah’s community, if somebody did something so bad that in America they would be fired, then they would probably be released. One last similarity is about the children. Their birthdays might be celebrated differently, at a ceremony, but they also celebrate their age. The children get new items at each ceremony until they turn twelve and are assigned their occupations. Children start to grow up in our world at eleven, and that is when the females and males
