"Climate control.  Snow made growing food difficult, limited the agricultural periods.  And unpredictable weather made transportation almost impossible at times.  It wasn't a practical thing, so it became obsolete when we went to sameness."

A theme that is beginning to form in Chapter 12 is

• Jonas begins to see sameness as wrong.

• The Giver explains to Jonas what society was like when Jonas's community allowed free choice; he said making wrong choices is important

• anger is part of growing up; Jonas is upset and angry when he can't figure out the flashes of red he is seeing

• Jonas is opposed to the Giver's teachings; he feels the Giver is wrong to go against the values of the community
