Throughout chapters 16-18, the book 'The Giver by Lois Lowry expresses many themes of freedom and choice.
When Jonas transmits memories to Gabriel to calm him down, he made the choice to share some of his memories with Gabriel.By making this choice, he could lose the memory to Gabriel, who will not able able to return it. He did not have to or get told to do so, he just did. Jonas had the freedom to do whatever he liked with the memories that were shared with him. (eg. sharing them with Gabriel).
Also when Jonas decides to discontinuing taking the anti-stirring pills, themes of freedom and choice were expressed. By making the decision he has put himself at risk, what if something bad happens, what if there was another reason as to why people in the community took the pills. Jonas had his freedom to make his own choices, he did not alert his parents about this.
In chapters 16-18, more themes of freedom and choice were shown. When Jonas plays 'Good Guys, Bad Guys' with Asher, Fiona and the others, he decides to stop playing. He decided on his own will that he would not play anymore. He had the freedom to make his own choice and opinion about this game.
Overall, I believe that throughout chapters 16-18 many themes of freedom and choices were shown.
