This is a matter of opinion but I read this book a while back so i’ll give it a shot.
I believe that sameness is not desirable. With no differences, life wouldn’t be as fun or as interesting. While differences cause wars, oppression, and other bad things, they also lead to wonderful things like relationships, culture, and emotions. In the Giver we see that Jonas finds beauty in being able to have intense emotions and live in his memories. Everything is dreary in this dystopian and I would never want to live that way. I can’t imagine a world where people don’t have different stories to tell, cultures to share, or love and opinions.
The answer choices to this question are in the attached file. The effect of the word "surplice" is:
A. It reinforces the difference between the natural things the speaker holds dear and the rituals of the church.
- "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" is a poem by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) in which the speaker talks about keeping the Sabbath.
- When the speaker mentions the "surplice," the garment worn by the clergy, she is emphasizing the difference of her Sabbath to other people's Sabbath.
- The speaker prefers to stay at home, with her family and her garden. To her, staying at home is Heaven already.
- Other people "keep the Sabbath in Surplice," that is, would rather go to church to secure their place in Heaven when they die.
- In other words, the speaker is already in Heaven, while others only wish to be.
- In conclusion, the word "surplice" reinforces the difference between the natural things (garden, family) that the speaker holds dear and the rituals of the church.
