The word “equality” often is used in context with how people are treated as compared to other people. For instance, in today’s world the theory is that everyone should be treated equally. This means that people of all sexes, races, religions, and more should be given the same treatment. The word “sameness” has a very different meaning to me. Sameness would mean that there were no races, religions, or anything else to be equal. There would be nothing to be treated the same considering they are all the same. In The Giver, there are many examples of sameness. Each family has the exact same structure, all boys must take pills for the stirrings, everyone rides bicycles, and everyone must share their dreams within families in the morning.

Joel, you have presented your ideas very well. I to agree that there is a difference between sameness and equality. They have completely different meanings, and you have explained them well. Good Job Joel!
