The speaker discusses the themes of control, neglect, dehumanization, and societal transformation in the books "The Giver" and "A Christmas Carol." They highlight quotes from each book and compare and contrast the different aspects of the societies portrayed. The presentation concludes with the idea that the dystopian society in "The Giver" and the social transformation in "A Christmas Carol" are interconnected. Which basically means that they couldn't control anything, the elders were in control of everything and they had to abide by what they wanted their community to do. A quote from the Giver, the worst part of holding the memories is not the pain, it's the loneliness of it. This was on page 77 of the Giver. Victoria England's Neglect in a Christmas Carol. So an overview of Victoria England's socioeconomic conditions. Neglect of the poor and impoverished. So he neglects the poor and he just is friends and not enemies with people that are rich. So yeah, dehumanizing effects on society, so they just did not treat society like humans. A quote from a Christmas Carol is, this boy is ignorance, the girls want, beware of them both. Which was on page 23 of A Christmas Carol. Comparing and contrasting in the Giver, a comparison of extreme control in the Giver is contrast to a Neglect in a Christmas Carol. So yeah, so both of those kind of are reflections of each other in both of the books. Comparison of devaluation in the Giver and dehumanization in A Christmas Carol. So both of them are kind of chaotic, but different in both ways, so yeah. And then more comparing and contrasting, technological in the Giver and societal in A Christmas Carol. Dystopian conformity in the Giver and societal transformation in A Christmas Carol. So it's basically saying how the dystopian society in the Giver and the social transformation in A Christmas Carol kind of tie together. And yeah, that's my presentation.
