The Giver Questions:


 * a. What was the core value or theme of the community?**

The core value or theme of the community was decisions are dangerous. They believed decisions are dangerous and that they need to be made for people. Only choices could be made by a person if they believed it would not be dangerous or not important. Decisions that mattered they thought should be made for you.

**b. What did the community do well? What makes it flawless?**  This community did a lot of things to make it flawless. First, it made sure that there could be no over population. Second, everything was done for you, so that no one could ever make the wrong decision. Third, one of the community rules is not to lie. This prevents people from making mistakes. Fourth, families are put together based on compatibility, so that a person will be happy with their spouse, and not want to get a divorce. Lastly, all jobs are assigned; this prevents people from becoming homeless. Also, because the jobs are picked based on something you do a lot, or something you enjoy doing, you will never complain about the job you have. This community is perfect, because you can't make mistakes or be unhappy.  Although this community is supposed to be flawless, it does have some flaws. First, the people can not see color. Second, they can not make there own decisions. This doesn’t allow people to have there own personality. The city kills babies, and prevents large families. Children do not get to know who there grand parents are, and spouses are chosen for you. Children are given to the spouses, and you are limited to two children that must be a boy and a girl. Also, the people can not love. Everything is chosen for you, so you can't have your own personality. Everyone is exactly the same.
 * c.What did the community do badly? What do you think are some of the flaws of this community?**


 * d. How was it managed to keep things organized and under perfect control?**

One of the way things were organized and under control was sameness. Sameness did not let anything wild or different into the communtiy. With sameness ,weird weather feats or land designs didn't exist in the community so they couldn't influence people to do different things. Another thing that kept the community under control was releasing and punishment. When you punished or released a trouble maker quickly then they couldn't influence other people to follow them. It also served as a warning to not misbehave. The last thing that kept the community under control was the community made your decisions for you. With your decisions made for you nobody got into major trouble and nothing bad happened to the members. Nothing influenced the people to do anything differently. That is what kept the community under control.
