Control or Power? - The Giver

in my book, the giver the theme is mostly about control. they dont rally talk about power. the only part they kind of talk about power is when they say the elders only have power to choose peoples jobs, but not really more things than that. so i think the theme of the giver is more of control because they are controlled by the elders and they talk about how they are controlled and what they are being controlled. and if there is a thing that they think that does not benefit the society, then they just remove it from the people. only the reciever has the memories and thoughts. their feelings are controlled by making them take stirring pills. their jobs were chosen by the elders so they are controlled with their jobs too. and one interesting technology was the wwather was controlled as well. lastly there are lots of laws or rules that they cant beark, so they are also controlling their freedom. so people dont have to worry or know about it. soo i think that my book.s theme is more about being controlled.
