The president is ironically helpful, as if fate ordained that the kids should succeed. Ironically, they have to trust a public official for change, because they lack the power otherwise to do the right thing. They can't participate in the rebellion, because the rebellion is a staged government program through which rebels accidentally give their identities over to government officials, so in this novel, they have to collaborate with President Collindar. The ironic PresidentĪs fate should have it, the kids are asked to fight the power from within. The Testing is government sanctioned murder. The Testing is an ironic symbol for this apocalyptic government and the sneaky ways that they take education and morph it into a horrible thing. The TestingĪlthough the Testing is a benchmark of achievement, the failures are eliminated by the state, and in the last novel in this series, the characters learned that the government sometimes eliminates undesirables in this way. Instead of going through the pre-established paths to success, these students take a new path, redefining success for themselves by resisting the institution. The irony of graduation in Graduation Day is that graduation would mean becoming complicit in a broken system. To graduate with a diploma seems like an automatically good thing, but this book shows that to go to a school with immoral ways is to lend credence to that institution.
