Explain why you think this might be. Think about why calling your "dwelling" a home would be changed for sameness in this community. en-us 2017-10-19 14:37:36 UTC 2017-10-23 19:53:14 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199192720 Because a home can have special meaning to someone and home could be different for everyone. A dwelling is just a place where you stay and there are no emotional connections with that place so that can allow sameness in the community.]]> 2017-10-20 19:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199192720 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199192749 In The Giver, I think that they only call a home a dwelling because it refers to a place someone lives. If they call it a home, it also means that the person that lives there shows emotional feelings toward the place where they feel the most comfortable. If the people called their dwelling a "home", it would counter the idea in Jonas's community, where there are no strong, human-like emotions. ]]> 2017-10-20 19:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199192749 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199192796 I think that they call their house a "dwelling" only because maybe if they call it a "home" it will mean something special to the family that lives there, and maybe they would have strong emotional feelings to their "home". They call it a "dwelling" because the family that lives there probably would not get as attached to their "dwelling" as they would to their "house" and they probably would not get such strong emotional feelings to their dwelling as they would to their home. This would let the community have the idea of sameness because there would not be any strong emotions toward a place.]]> 2017-10-20 19:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199192796 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199192822 I think that the people in the community call their houses dwellings because in our world, people think of a home as somewhere with people that we love, and where we have multiple emotional connections in it. In the Giver,  people can't feel emotions like love. This is where sameness comes into play. Everyone feels as if their dwelling is just where they live, which it is, but when I say home, I mean a place where i have multiple memories, and where many feelings take hold, and where  my family and I live. But, in the book, it mentions that there are birthmothers, and parents recieve their children. So, technically the people who are living with you in your dwelling aren't family at all, because these people aren't related to you in any way.]]> 2017-10-20 19:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199192822 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199192866 They're are many different ways to call a home, which could be called many different things such as abode or living space. A dwelling doesn't seem as family-related, and more standardized to me, so this relates to the topic of 'sameness'. The so-called-leaders want everyone to keep everything the same: almost nothing unique (Except for names of course), so it would only make since to make a home seem less opening to family and more of the standard protocol.]]> 2017-10-20 19:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199192866 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199192883 A dwelling is simply a place where people reside.   It has no connections to family or anything other than a place to  spend  your time there.  At least that's what I believe.  A home is a place of family, and every family is different. The community in the Giver strive for sameness. I believe that they call the housing units 'dwellings' for the same reason they take away feelings, and basically anything that makes a person unique.]]> 2017-10-20 19:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199192883 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193026 I think that they refer to there home as a dwelling because they all have the same house but in our world everyone house is different and in the Giver they do not like differences  Also home is where you are from and in the Giver everyone dis from the same place.]]> 2017-10-20 19:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193026 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193080 I think that their home is only called a dwelling because it might be given to another family once the family has died. They also might not think of it as a home and more of a gift because the might have gotten it from the elders when they had kids to take care of. If they do get a house when they have kids they might get an even bigger house if they have a second child to take care of. If I called my home a dwelling for my type of reason would be for sameness so people don't get their hopes up when they say their getting a new house so they make them all the same. ]]> 2017-10-20 19:12:25 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193080 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193101 I think a house is called a dwelling because a "home" could not be accurate. Some people may not feel like "home" is "home" and since it is called a dwelling, it doesn't have the same meaning as home. For example I may not think my house is "home" to me. Home has a special meaning while dwelling is just where you live.]]> 2017-10-20 19:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193101 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193107 In the book the Giver they call their homes a dwelling because when someone calls something a home they can mean many different things. For example, when someone says that they feel home somewhere it can mean that they feel like they fit in or they are loved. The masters don't want this because they don't want people to show or feel love towards anyone but maybe their family. They don't want people to show love because it is to strong a feeling in the community]]> 2017-10-20 19:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193107 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193192 I think that they refer to their house as a dwelling because if they call it their home it can mean many different things. A home is where you live with your family and you have fun, but a dwelling is just where you live.

After this, the "dwelling" is given to a new family.]]> 2017-10-20 19:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193275 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193480 In the Giver, I think the reason the community calls where the people live "dwellings" because a home has a personal connection. When you have a home you have an emotional connection with it. You live there with your family and had made lots of memories. You feel love towards the house. With the pills, the people of the community don't feel love so they just refer to the place they live as a dwelling. Without the connection with the house, it is not a home, but only a dwelling.]]> 2017-10-20 19:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193480 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193513 In The Giver, the "dwellings" aren't homes as we know them. Dwellings in the book are simply places they sleep and eat. A home refers to a place filled with love where you have fun, stay with your family, etc. The word dwelling implies just what it is- a place you dwell. ]]> 2017-10-20 19:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193513 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199193813 I think that they call their home a dwelling because the word home can bring back many memories bad and good. So to prevent this they call it a dwelling which is not as powerful as a word as home.

For some people, it reminds them of fun times  and family. However, dwellings are just places that you stay, or dwell, because the people in the Giver have no feelings for emotions like love. This is also where sameness is applied. For the community in the Giver, it is only a place to eat and stay.]]> 2017-10-20 19:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199194788 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199413356 I believe it is only referred to as a dwelling, because a home or house has more of a sentimental meaning. A home is a place were family live together and have a fun and loving house. However dwelling is simply a place to only live, eat, and sleep, along with little conversations that each family unit they has. For these reasons, it's is only referred to as a dwelling and not a home.]]> 2017-10-23 00:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199413356 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199765533 The reason that the community in the giver call their home a dwelling is because of what a "home" is defined as . For example, some people may refer to a home as the place that they live whereas others might refer to a home as a place that they love and can spend time with their loved ones. A dwelling is simply just a place where you live eat and sleep. This will help keep the sameness in the community because by calling them dwellings, the people in the community will all feel the same about their homes.]]> 2017-10-23 19:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199765533 https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199767265 2017-10-23 19:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_tuttle/6xbefnm5yfoq/wish/199767265
