In the novel, The Giver Conformity plays a major role in it. Here are some examples of conformity playing a major role in the novel. In the novel, it states “This year you get your assignment.”(52)This shows conformity because they are assigned their jobs instead of being able to choose themselves and do what they want to do. But also in other stories, conformity plays a huge role like in The pedestrian. Here is an example of this. In the story, it states “Walking, just walking, walking?” This shows conformity because he is being questioned about doing something different than others and ends up being sent away for just doing something different. But in the end, I wonder why nobody questions conformity in these stories and just goes with it.
