In life, people face the pressures of conformity in their everyday lives from school, to just going shopping for clothing. Throughout literature, protagonists face the pressures of conformity in their lives no matter the age of the character. Both The Giver by Lois Lowry and Number Twelve looks just like You by John Tomerlin deal with pressures of conformity, but they do so in different ways.

“’She skipped me,’ Jonas thought sunned” (57). Jonas didn’t know why, but the Chief Elder had skipped him and he was so embarrassed. Little did he know however, that his journey as a hero was about to begin. Jonas must walk through pain and danger. He must rely on support from the Giver and he must become mature, in order to complete his journey to heroism.
Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps it was only an echo. All of a sudden, Jonas spotted a tangled mass of yellow. Then, more colors appeared, blue and red, then green. Her green eyes were visible as Jonas sat in the bitterly cold snow with Gabriel nuzzled in his chest.
Chapter 12, the final chapter of the book begins with the hearing, which would determine whether Ponyboy, Sodapop and Darry would be able to stay together. The hearing involved Darry, Sodapop, Ponyboy, Randy and his parents, Cherry and her parents and a few other Socs that were there when Johnny killed Bob. There was a general feeling of tension in the room because everyone was nervous as to how it was going to turn out. Before the hearing started the doctor that had been treating Ponyboy talked with the judge probably because Ponyboy was sick and had convinced himself that he was the one that had killed Bob. After that the hearing was pretty uneventful as everyone answered truthfully and the judge actually asked Ponyboy nothing about Bob getting
Just think. Nobody has any knowledge of the past. You do not know what color is, you have no emotion, and everybody is the same. The world that you live in is colorless, emotionless, drab, even lifeless. This is the type of world that Jonas and The Giver live in.
Pony and Johnny are jumped and Bob is killed This is the most important event of the novel as had this event not happened, most of the conflict in the book would not have happened. Because of this event, Pony and Johnny end up on the run, leading to Johnny’s and later Dally’s death. Pony is almost killed, helping him to eventually understand that there are both good and bad Socs and that they can’t be lumped together just because they are rich and generally the enemy.

“Sameness” Chapter 11 in Lois Lowry’s book The Giver would be titled “sameness” because before the community there was varied climate. In the chapter Jonas receives three memories the first being of it snowing and hills. The second memory was of sunshine, and the third memory was being sunburned. Sameness is when the community was formed when the climate and other things went the same, so they made the climate the same because it was difficult to grow crops and hills were a nuisance to large vehicles.
English, Language and Composition Dayana Moreno Block 4 29/11/2017 The Giver Rough Draft In the Giver everything is perfect, no one gets hurt or injured, there is no color, no cars and no reproduction, and nobody recognizes that they live in. People don’t chose what they want to do or they lives. Everything is already planned by the elders that chose everything and can eliminate certain things. The elders fail at making at making a utopia because they ejected things that they thought they were bad for the community, such as eliminating individuality of people and having a lack of choice in choosing their careers.
Lack of individuality is a very scary thing. In a society where the government is very involved the phrase lack of individuality is very common. Throughout the movie, Giver, lack of individuality is shown multiple times. Some main examples are that the people in the community all see the same colors. Everyone has the same curfew.

In The Giver, Jonas’s society creates families much different than our society. For example, in Jonas's society husbands and wives are selected. Like Jonas's father and mother, “their match which like all matches had been monitored...” (pg.62). However, in our society, partners are chosen simply by emotions towards others. In addition, in Jonas’s society, people who apply for children must only have “Two children-one male, one female- to each family unit” (p.11).
