In The Giver novel by Lois Lowry, What textual evidence can you provide to prove your points? (Try using this sentence starter: The following textual evidence proves my point OR I know this because in the text it says…)

The following textual evidence proves my point that the society in The Giver novel values conformity and sameness: "The society is based on the elimination of choice and individuality, everyone is expected to conform and adhere to strict rules and regulations." This is evident throughout the book as we see characters like Jonas being assigned roles in the community and not being allowed to make their own choices.
