20. Discussion: Jonas (The Giver) meets Other Characters (2)
Storyboard Text
- The government here is so controlling and oppressive. At times, it feels like we have to live our lives the way they want us to, rather than the way we want to.
- Really!? We also faced the control and oppression in Isiuwa, the land that I come from.
- Here, the government decides what your job is, they're completely against the idea of change, and the people who oppose the government are "released," which is just a nice way of saying killed.
- WHAT!? That's nearly identical to the problems we faced in Isiuwa. Like the government here, Isiuwa's government is also completely against change, and they have also established a way of life that they want all citizens to follow. Plus, not only does the government forbid people from leaving, but if they do leave, then those people are exiled.
- Do you think it's possible that all worlds have the same problems as us? What if all worlds are a part of a universe in which oppression and control are simply rooted in governments?
- Honestly, maybe you're right. I guess we'll never truly know, but I really do think that both of those ideas could be possible.
