Not only was there no poverty, divorce, racism, sexism, pollution, or violence in the world of 'The Giver'; there was also careful attention paid to language: to its fluency, precision, and power.
Lois Lowry

In any authoritarian society, the possessor of power dictates, and if you try and step outside, he will come after you.
