The Giver

Like I said before, there are major differences between these two. Some are very visible; the names of the characters. There are others that even though are minor, they are completely unnecessary. This minor differences are small details that we remember from the book, and we were expecting to

The giver follows the life of a young boy named Jonas. In the future, society is different from now, emotions, colour, pain, and liberty are all things of the past, in this alleged dystopian novel. Thorough explanation of this is left out in the novel, what we know is some war or tragedy due to all the emotions, opinions, cultures etc. led to great measures being taken. Thus eliminating all feelings both good and bad, which in turn dehumanized the whole population almost making them in to living robots, just so that the chance of another catastrophe is narrowed down to almost zero. Liberty is merely an illusion in this novel since no choices are made by the people only by the “elders” who aren't explained a lot either

Jonas begins to receive painful memories from the giver and he finally understands why the community would want to avoid such painful experiences. If people had these memories it would create choices, which can lead to many mistakes (Lowry 98). People could choose the wrong mate, the wrong job, and people could get angry which can lead to war. The elders, from a time long ago, did not want to worry about incidences like those happening; therefore they created a community with no memories or choices. So they gave all of their collective memories to a receiver of memory. Jonas, after a year of training

In the novel “The Giver,” written by Lois Lowry, Jonas is a boy who follows the rules, spends time with friends and family, goes to school, and at the Twelves Ceremony is given the job as the Receiver of Memory. At the end of the novel, Jonas learns information that makes him leave the community to save the people he loves. As Jonas becomes older, he acknowledges that he is different from his family and the people surrounded by him. Once Jonas got his assignment as the Receiver of Memory, his maturity became inconsistent throughout the novel.

Starting the story, Jonas receives his assignment at the Ceremony of 12. He was chosen to be the receiver of memory. Jumping forward to his training, an old man named,¨The Giver¨ transmits memories for Jonas to cherish. He was told he will experience joy, happiness, loneliness and most importantly, pain. Beginning his training, Jonas lays on a couch for The Giver to lay his hand on his back to transmit Jonas´s first memory. It was very joyful. As an

One big difference was when Jonas went to the Givers home in the book he was let in by a woman maybe his secretary but in the movie there was a facial recognition procedure that allow him in. The movie is basically an advanced place filled with drones, 3D transmissions and impressive looking devices of all sorts. In the book it's not as advanced as the movie but it's still pretty impressive. The book The Giver has books in in it and the movie jonas has never saw a book in his life.

The Giver is a dystopian book written by Lois Lowry, that has recently been adapted into a film. If you have read the book, and are a fan of it, like me, then you should definitely spend the money to go and watch the film.

One major difference is that in the movie, Jonas’ two close friends, Fiona and Asher, received assignments than in the book. In the novel, Asher was assigned Assistant Director of Recreation, while in the movie, he was a Drone Pilot. Fiona received the assignment of

One major difference was Rifka. In the movie they combine Gritl and herself. In the movie Rifka was her cousin. Tzipporah and Ruven were made into one person named, Sarah. There were lots of characters that were left out of the movie, like hannah brother, Aaron. Another difference was the Age. In the movie Hannah was sixteen years old, but in the book she was twelve. The Execution was different. In the movie the people who disobeyed the rules were hanged, but in the book they were shot when they were trying to escape the concentration

At the start of the story Jonas is feeling nervous about the ceremony of twelve's, where the children are given their assignment. This is where for the first time in the children's life, they will be doing something different then every other person in the community. Jonas is given the very special occupation, which isn’t really an occupation at all, of Receiver of Memory. He is the only one that can have memories of what life was like before sameness. The memories are given to him by The Giver, who was the current Receiver of Memory. The Giver must transmit all memories of history (the good,

Jonas and The Giver are two important characters in this story. The Giver is someone who transmits the memories and passes them on to the Receiver of Memory which is Jonas. Jonas’s community is dystopia because only two people are able to have the memories, lives are taken away from people with no choice (released) and also only

To start of, the two versions have many similarities. There is a basic story line and plot that the movie keeps in common with the book. All the events happen in the same

Here they are. The movie and the book have all of the same characters. The movie didn’t add anything or leave out any characters. The book and the movie have the same concept. Like Jonas has been chosen to be the new receiver of memory.

However, Jonas is different. Unlike those in the community, he has light eyes, and the rare ability to see objects change; he can see flashes of color, before the object returns back into a monotonous shade of black and white. One day, his father, a nurturer, brings home a “sick” baby boy, Gabriel, and begins to take care of him. However, this baby has a strange characteristic; like Jonas, he has light eyes. If this baby does not get better, he will be released. At the Ceremony of Twelve, due to his traits and his ability to see beyond, Jonas is chosen to become the Receiver of Memory, the holder of the Community’s

Lois Lowry’s novel, The Giver, offers a thought provoking, well written story, because it changes the perspective of anyone who dares to read it to. Lowry places her novel, at some point in the future when mankind has gone away with changes and choices in life. She forces readers appreciate, or at least re-think the world they live in today. Her novel presents a fully human created environment where people have successfully blocked out conflict, grief, and individuality. Each person follows the same routine every day. Failure comply with standards, to be different, means death. Jonas, the main character, finds himself trapped in this world.
