How is the family structured in The Giver? How can I write three paragraphs about it?

This might seem like too narrow a subject to you, but really, there is a great deal to be said about the structure of a family in The Giver.  People clearly do not choose their own partners, which is the basis of the family structure.  They do not bear the children they raise, and they do not even get to select which children they will raise.  The family structure in this community is always a two-generation structure, since grandparents do not exist in any family unit.  Those who might be old enough to be grandparents are either still doing something productive or are in the House of the Old.  Consider the unusual structure of the families in this community. It is without any biological or emotional bonds.  You might ask yourself if that makes for a more successful family or if it fatally damages the concept of a family as we understand it.  No matter which way you consider it, you have at least three possible points to discuss your opinion.
