How Is The Giver Related To The Bill Of Rights
The rights granted to a U.S citizen in the Bill of Rights is different than the rights Jonas has in The Giver. A U.S citizen has more freedom than Jonas does. In the Giver the city or town is being controlled, there are only a few things you can do freely. Only a few things you are allowed to say as well. A U.S citizen only has to follow a few rules here and there to prevent trouble.
A citizen can worship anything/anyone they choose to (willingly). They are allowed to vote for whom is running for president or mayor, as long as they are eight teen and older. Along side with that they are allowed themselves to run for elected office. If you wanted to get a federal employment that only requires u.s citizenship. Of course they have responsibilities, one of the main ones is if needed defend the country. Paying income, taxes and or bills on time is another big one. Of course all of this requires work and trust, but any u.s citizen will be allowed these after they become an adult. …show more content…

Such as letting your family know how you were feeling today, angry, sad, happy, upset. They do not use love in any way. The community is at peace because there is no war, not between friends or family or outsiders. You do not choose your job, your wife or your own kids. As you succeed in the community things that effect life will be given to you. Whether it is good or
