Question

Compare The Reaping from The Hunger Games to The Ceremony of Twelves from the Giver. How do both societies limit individual choice, and what is the impact of this on the community?

Answer 1

The Reaping in The Hunger Games and The Ceremony of Twelves from The Giver are both ceremonies that

limit individual choice and demonstrate the anxiety and fear that can occur when people do not have control over

their destinies. In The Hunger Games, The Reaping is an annual ceremony that every child must participate in to

determine which children will be selected as the district’s tributes in the hunger games, a fight to the death between

24 children across the country. Katniss’ reflections during The Reaping demonstrate that she resents the way in which

she has no choice but to be entered in the drawing, and she expresses disdain for her government because of the

power that they yield over her. Although she demonstrates some personal choice by volunteering in her sister, Prim’s,

place, because she is essentially volunteering to die, one can conclude that she feels as though she has no real

options to live a meaningful life in her society. In a similar way, the Elders of Jonas’ community control the decisions

for its people. In The Ceremony of Twelves, the Elders determine the jobs for each twelve­year­old in the community.

Following the ceremony, the children begin to train for their assigned profession. Jonas expresses his fear and

nervousness about this assignment, both in his reflections before the ceremony and in his conversation with his

parents. He is concerned that the Elders will assign him a position he does not like, and recognizes that decisions

made by the Elders are not easy to change. As a result, he feels anxiety for the future because he does not have

control. Although Jonas does not face or fear death like Katniss, both individuals feel a sense of fear and lack of

control as a result of their societies

Answer 2

The Reaping from The Hunger Games to The Ceremony of Twelves from the Giver decides the fate of the young generation of the society without their say in it.

Explanation:

Societies depicted in The Giver and The Hunger Games show oppressed livelihood. They are governed by a higher power (The Capitol and the High Elders) who decide the fate of young individuals.

In The Giver, people lack a basic sense of emotions while in The Hunger Games, the districts perform a particular set of task, practicing anything other than that is punishable. Both societies lack freedom.
