sameness vs. equality

In the giver not everyone is equal they are just the same to be equal everyone should get their own rights and they are able to feel and have differences. To be equal is to have the same rights and freedom. To be the same is to feel and think the same to have very few rights and to be identical in feeling and opinions. Lois Lowry uses the her language more precisely because in the giver every person is the same not equal but in animal farm all the animals are supposed to be equal but end up lower than others.

Feedback

One becomes an adult when they are mature enough to make decision, to care for yourself and understand that people make mistakes. When a child needs help they ask their parents for help, or when they make a mistake they are scared that they will get into trouble and that everything revolves around there consequences of what they did that was wrong and they cant care for themselves. When you get mature and grow up you understand that everyone makes mistakes and that the consequences will not ruin everything in your life.

To be an adult you must understand all these things and be able to work and do your daily things. To be able to take care of others as well as yourself. I don’t think there is an age you can be useless when you are younger or when your old you may be minimized to what you can do but you are not useless.
