Description

Me reading the voiceover of a read a graduate student was required to have as part of a project for her graduate school course. The assignment focused on the theory of sameness from the The young adult novel The Giver. This right here is the podcast transcript presenting voices of 4 different eighth graders, the students are in conversation discussing how the theory applies to every day life and the psychological effect that the theory has on us - throughout the read there are examples the how it is used in certain aspects. Since each character had their own emotions, it was my priority to to differentiate my voice for each…such as sounding like a narrator, sounding concerned over people applying the theory, sounding as if people believe in me going along with the theory, and stating this book was written for a reason we could see why. My intention was to believe that there was an audience out there questioning the benefits as well as the downfall of living the sameness lifestyle. By the end of the content it seemed as if the rest of the play/the rest of her project was the kids believing that the author was right, there should be a theory of sameness.

Okay, a three sentence synopsis here I g o the giver follows a boy named Jonas who lives in a community regulated by sameness. Same. This controls the climb in people who looked the same, see the same color and die the same. Yet people are assigned different work assignments starting at the age of 12. Seen this raises eyebrows at what differences can really exist in a homogeneous society and the power of control. Jonas is the only member in his community who has the capacity to see beyond. What does he do with that power? Nolan, You gave it in five sentences. Two sentences over Jackson. Oh, man, Meghan. Okay. Same. This is a policy to regulate people's lives in Jonas's community. This dooming theme functions as an allegory to examine levels of control in our own country. Judases community represents a microcosm of control that forces us to look at control on a macro cosmic level in our country from the media black of Internet privacy surveillance, to name a few. There are national levels of control. Lisa one being the government capable of tracking our exact location through the GPS device on our phones. Noland.

Where I came from, a Catholic school and a lot of the girls would hike up their skirts or roll down their socks to a cool or to simply fit in with the other girls that seem this on in aesthetic level of fitting in.
