The Giver- 5 Looks
Censorship.Truth.Pain.Perfect.Knowledge.
I chose these 5 words because although they are different they all revolve around the concept that the truth hurts.
I chose censorship because as its obvious the whole community in which Jonah lives at is unaware of the "real world" because they are censored from that information.
Truth is probably one of the most important words for this novel, the giver explains to Jonah what happened when memories were revealed or the "truth" people went insane so its right to say that the truth hurts.
Pain is a word that is used a lot in the books especially from the Giver, Pain is something that the community does not experience much of because the truth is hidden.
Perfect also comes to my mind in this society since that's what they strive for by keeping censorship but well see how that plays out.
Knowledge the Giver being the most knowledgeable also makes him the most powerful. What ive seen through this book that knowledge is power, it can be used either way right or wrong.
Very true about knowledge being used for a variety of purposes in the book.
