I think that the reason for calling their home a dwelling is to help understand that your is like everyone else's and you shouldn't be attached to it.

# data[].attributes.body
the reason that the call where they live a dwelling probably is because a house is where you live and only you and also a house is yours and special and a dwelling is somewhere you live and is standerdly like every other dwelling.

I think they call a house a dwelling in Jonas's community because in your house you have things that you like in them, and in a dwelling, it is just like everybody else's and by making all the houses the same, you wont get close to your house.

i think they might call their homes a dwelling because all of their homes are identical and home is someplace that makes you feel comfort and safe in and since their homes aren't unique or personalized they just call it a dwelling

I think that they call them dwellings because the houses are meant to be identical. It would be changed because the dwelling you live in is your home, and only your home.

I think they call their houses "dwellings" because there will be no emotional attachment. Houses are unique,  and people get attached to them. All the dwellings are the same, and the are only there a little bit of time, (eat sleep) and they dwell there. There is no emotional attachment to them. If you were to call your dwelling a home, people would think you are weird, and it you make you different.

I think this is the case because calling it a house or home would relate too much to the outside world. It could also be because they do not get to pick where they live, and a dwelling is a designated place where something lives.

I think that in Jonas's community calling it a house or a home might indicated that the house belongs to you. This isn't the case however because every home is exactly the same give or take a couple "comfort items."

They call a dwelling a home because a dwelling is just a building but a home has feelings and every home is different than another persons. For example, in my home there is a feeling of love and that can't be replaced but if it was all the same then that feeling wouldn't be as special.

I think that they refer to their house as only a "dwelling" because all of the dwellings are very similar and do not have anything personalized like many homes do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they call their homes "dwellings" because their homes are all very similar, and the leaders in their Community do not want people to fight and brag about their homes. The leaders want everything to be orderly, equal, and the same; they do not want people to try to be unique. The members of the Community do not personalize their homes with decoration, and they just think of their homes as a place where they rest, eat, and spend time with their families.

I think that the people of Jonas' community call their homes a dwelling because the people do not personalize their houses so every house is the same. The community is like this because they do not want people to get attached to something like their house and it helps everything stay the same in the community and supports the sameness.

I think that they call their houses dwellings, because they might not want people to get too comfortable or get too creative with how their home looks. This is so they can control their society.

I think that in The Giver they call their homes dwelling  because if they were to refer to it as a home they might get to attached to it. Furthermore,  referring it to a dwelling helps to achieve more sameness. because all of their dwellings are the same. No one has a higher status over another, therefore everyone has the same dwelling.

I think that in the giver they call their house a dwelling because they don't want them to get to comfortable and start personalizing it.

# data[].attributes.body
They refer to their homes as a dwelling because they do not see it as a place that is their home and theirs only, because a home is something that you personalize and make your own.  In their community being different is not good, so they try to make everyone as similar and equal as they can, also ensuring that people do not have an emotional attachment o their homes and the "dwellings" have no real meaning in their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they refer to a house as a dwelling because their houses are all the same and that is how the government wants it . If it was called a house, then it would suggest that is would be unique and different from other houses.

I think that the people in Jonas's community commonly refer to their houses as dwellings because the people in this community value sameness.  To call your house "your home" is personalizing it and making it "your" home.  If you call it "a dwelling"  it does not have the "your" in it and is then more if an object than a valuable possession.  Also, it seems in this community, citizens do not experience complex emotions (sentimentality, grief, etc.) and if the houses are more of "your" house than "a" house then the people may start to feel complex emotions towards the house.

I think that in The Giver they call their home a dwelling because calling your house a home is like how you make it feel and how you personalize it and it is theirs. If you were to call it a dwelling it would be the same to everyone else, creating the sameness they want in the community. Also, they would not want someone to have a nicer house than one another because a law is no boasting, so they all have a similar dwelling. Also, if they have a designated place to live it really would not be their home, it would just be a place to live, a dwelling.

I think that the people of Jonas' community call their homes a dwelling because it's the same for everybody. It's not a small apartment or a huge mansion. The whole concept of their society is sameness and one of their rules is, no boasting. If somebody had a huge, big, castle-like mansion when someone else lived in a small hut, people could compare themselves to the person who has better than them. A dwelling is just a dwelling, and nothing is different or unique about it. This way, the citizens don't feel uncomfortable or inferior about the fact that there is someone who has better than them. In the minds of the rulers, this is creating peace.
