There are unfair things in life that can be difficult, and you can choose to do something about it or you can choose to do nothing. Both characters in the book “The Giver” and Kesha’s song “Praying” choose to take action. Jonas in “The Giver” sees how unfair his community is so he decides to leave. In Kesha’s song a young woman leaves an abusive and unfair relationship. In both of these texts, we learn that you should act on something that you know isn’t right.

A theme that could work for both texts is, things may seem perfect but their actually unfair and flawed. In “The Giver” Jonas is one of the only ones that sees how unfair his community is and so he decides to do something about. So he leaves and saves another character in the story. In “Praying” it states, “No more monsters, I can breathe again.” This shows that she saw her ex as a “monster” and she doesn’t see him anymore, and she saved herself for leaving the relationship.

There are things that are different in both texts. In “The Giver” Jonas doesn’t have some one that him loved trying to hurt him. Unlike in “Praying” the young woman loved the “monster”. When Jonas left that made things worse, but when the young woman left that made things improve. In the song it states, “Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come.”

In conclusion both texts, the giver and praying, show that leaving is best is if something is unfair like a messed up community or an abusive relationship.
