The part I got was to ensure domestic tranquility. To ensure domestic tranquility means that the government is trying to make sure we could live as peaceful as we could. I think if they take that to far then i think our community will become like Jonas'. Depending how they make it peaceful, it might help us a lot but will hurt us if they don't do it right.
Freedom is an opinion. Like to be able to walk around, that is freedom to someone. But freedom to someone else could be going around the world. How they make sure everything is peaceful might be the greatest decision or the worst decision they could have. It all depends how they do it.
Freedom in the Giver isn't really freedom. But everyone in that community is so used to it, they believe that, that is what freedom is. They have rules about everything. You can't even bring food home if you lived in their community. I don't think that is even freedom. There is freedom in the giver but very little of it.
