5 Looks on the Book:

The Giver



Oblivious: The individual's that make up Jonas' community are unaware of the amount of control the authoritative figures have acquired over them all. It's as if the members of the community are pieces to a board game in which the authoritative figures do as they please. 

Serene: Because everyone in Jonas' community is stripped of any sense of individualism there is no threat of rebellion upon them, thus keeping the community tranquil.

Obedient: Everyone living within Jonas' community abides by the strict values of their culture and their norms. There is never any question as to why something is. It simply is. 

Passive: The authoritative figures within Jonas' community have control over what emotions an individual might feel, if any, thus diminishing any chance of uniqueness. Everyone performs quietly as passive members of the community.

Dictatorship: The leading members of Jonas' community execute absolute power and control by sharing the duty at hand. The most minimal and intricate decisions lay in the hands of these citizens.
