Significance of Signs

The signs are in the secret room of the Population Police Headquarters. The themes of all of the signs speak against third children. The signs were originally hung by the Population Police to enforce the law. In the end, Oscar's people hang the signs again above the stage where the TV interviews are taking place as a way to brainwash the audience. After Luke tells his story and a new government of the people forms, Luke and his friends tear down the signs.
