Answer: I think that jack hits piggy to assert dominance and show piggy that they are not at the same level.
Explanation: Jack is the type of guy that shows power by putting down the weak or the people in the lowest of the food chain. For example, Jack is rude to littleuns piggy, and also Ralph (because ralph is in the way of jake ruling).
Yes, I will look at these in a little bit when I get free. I love Blake's Tyger :)
The Giver is trying to explain that Sameness was meant to be a trade off, so that the Community would be free of pain, safe from all possible harm, have perfect climate control, and an orderly existence.
The claim which is consistent with Sartre's concept of anguish is the following one:
We are aware of our being freely choosing beings and we experience that freedom as a burden.
Jean Paul Sartre stated that we were slaves to freedom, which is a huge paradox. However, since every choice we make implies rejecting or renouncing, freedom can be a burden indeed.
E.g.: Imagine you have met the woman of your dreams and want to marry her desperately. You've made your choice. Nevertheless, marrying such a woman implies renouncing all the others you had met previously or will meet in the future. Plus, your marriage can turn into a nightmare, and you will have no one to blame but yourself for having made that decision of marrying.
Life would be quite easier if we were just told what to choose, that is, what the best choice would be. If that was the case, we would have someone else but ourselves to blame in case things turned out wrong.
