The Giver

Jonas finally reached the summit of the hill. Feeling the warmth of happiness to have the feeling of being so close, he continued on strong and excited again. His family unit, friends, and Giver came to mind.

A renowned novelist and former imperial policeman, George Orwell, in his essay, Shooting an Elephant (1936), addresses the problems of imperialism. He argues that imperializing others, specifically Burma, will force the colonists to lose their own conscience and freedom. Orwell utilizes a variety of rhetorical elements throughout his essay to help bolster his claim. Firstly, Orwell uses first person perspective to showcase his experiences in order to establish his credibility. He then uses word choice to indicate his imperialistic sentiments and emotions. Lastly, he uses imagery to portray the pressure and emotions that were elicited while shooting the elephant. The purpose of Orwell’s essay Shooting an Elephant is to inform the reader about the inherent struggles that are engendered by imperialism. Orwell adopts a critical, subjective tone for his audience, the readers of his essay, anti-imperialists, and scholars studying imperialism.

The Giver by Lois Lowry is a story about a boy named Jonas who becomes the receiver of memory. Jonas's society was unjust because they had no choices and harsh punishments. Jonas's society was unjust because they did not get to make any choices of their own. I think that Jonas's society is unjust because they have no choice at all. This is wrong because people should be able to make choices of their own.

The book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry is a good book and I like the idea that there is no color or weather. Although the book was good I liked the movie better. I always like the movie better because I get to actually see how the story looks like. The differences from the book and movie changes the story a lot and makes the movie better for me. One of the differences is the jobs that Asher and Fiona have. Fiona in the book is the care taker of the old and in the movie she is the nurture. Asher in the book is the director of recreation and in the movie he is the drone pilot. If the jobs weren't different in the movie then the movie wouldn’t be as exciting. Like when Jonas was about to run in the book he took Gabe from his home and in the movie

Have you ever wondered if you could survive a nearly impossible drop? What about going through a snowy mountain with almost no supplies? A man named Jonas and a toddler named Gabriel in the movie “The Giver” had conquered this ridiculous feat. “The Giver” is a book written by Lois Lowry, and “The Giver” movie is directed by Phillip Noyce. This duo did this because the people of their Community had elders who had taken away the memories of the people and made the citizens follow strict rules. Jonas and Gabriel had found answers to escape their former home in different ways in the movie and the novel version of this story. In order to determine if the movie had a better escape as opposed to the novel “The Giver”, we might consider the following

Jonas turned around, listening to the bells ringing all around him. He woke up, as it was all just a dream. Everything from escaping-- his plans, gone. He struggled in the Giver's room to get up and was thinking all about how it could of gone down if it was somehow real. The Giver was awake reading a book. I said hello, and he turned around as if he was shocked to see me. "Are you okay? What happened, I heard you mumbling in your sleep". I told him about my crazy dream of running away from the civilization. He warned me not to, or else everyone would know I am a savage and that I left. "How are you feeling about your father? Are you ready to go home?", he asked me. I said "I guess"-- still feeling puzzled about that dream. Later, I arrived

When considering the similarities between Lois Lowry’s novel, The Giver, and the real world; one must consider all aspects of our domain, and history. A few similarities stand out as being predominantly controlling. The Giver, possesses several resemblances to Nazi Germany. The novel also portrays an appalling method for dealing with newborns that are less desirable. The novel also reflects on the way those who are too old are sent on a vacation to elsewhere. The novel leads one to assume that the handicapped would be met with equal cruelty. The story primarily sets forth ideas that are relevant of the era; when politically correctness would have been obstructing to an individual’s uniqueness. There reaches a point where conformity and perfection is controlling of an individual’s free will, and Lowry tries hard to portray the issues found in a world where everyone is the same; in which she indisputably succeeded.

1. As you can see, the book and the movie are similar in a way but very different. Asher’s character is very different by strictness to carefree . In the book it states that Asher has a carefree personality than in the movie. In the book Jonas is concerned for Asher’s assignment, because “he makes a game out of everything”. Also in the bookit says that “Asher ran through the standard apology phrase rapidly”. So we all know that in the book Asher was very lazy, carefree and trouble. He didn’t care what he did. Although in the movie when Jonas was showing Fiona an example of sledding, by sledding on a lunch tray, Asher hesitated. Jonas asked “Why are you chicken” and Asher said “no” and ran away. Looks like he was scared of breaking the rules. His personality affects the conflict of him ditching his best friend, and makes sure he doesn’t get out of the community boundary. He was helping the chief elder defeat Jonas.

The main character twelve-year-old Jonas lives in an undesirable society(destopian).The society assigns him a mission of the "Reveiver of Memory"; Jonas' job is to hold the abolished memories of the people, joy and pain, the feelings that they no longer experience. Seeking guidance, Jonas asks the previous Receiver, which is now called the Giver, what the word release means. In response the Giver shows Jonas his dad euthanizing a baby. Later on, Jonas decides that he wants to save the society so he returns the feelings back to the people and plots to runaway and the Giver assists him in doing this. Jonas decides to reschedule because he discovered that his brother Gabriel was going to be released the next day, he waited for Gabriel and left with

Scientific research has shown that the human brain starts to remember things from the womb twenty weeks after conception. In the giver, memories tend to be a main topic in terms of subject importance.

Lois Lowry should be pleased about the movie that Phillip Noyce made from her book. She should have been given more publicity and appreciation about her book. Noyce made us feel and see how Jonas was seeing everything. Also how we felt when he was around Fiona. Noyce had action all the way through the movie that kept my attention throughout the whole movie but during the book i lost interest sometimes. For instance when Jonas took off with gabe and asher came in in the drone it caught my attention because it never said anything about it in Lowry’s Book. Another important part is how Jonas feels around Fiona and how she helps him. Jonas shares his feelings with Fiona so she can help break Gabe out so Jonas can help save

The Giver is a great book and I recommend it because it’s a very interesting book to read. One reason I recommend is that it takes place in a community where they don’t tell pain and sadness. The main chapter of this story is Jonas be plays an important role in the story. In the community, they can’t leave the community they think they are the only once that are in the world. The main part of the story is that Jonas gets picked as the new giver.

The movie starts out with a short exposition, with Jonas asking if us to decide if what he did was wrong and if he should regret what he did. the movie continues, and with a critic's eye such as mine, you may notice the movie has no colour in it. On certain points, we see some colour from JOnas’ perspective, but mostly everything’s gray. Jonas lives in a community, where you must take a small injection every morning. At the age of 16 (12 in the book) everyone is assigned a job, or “Role” in the community.

Imagine a place where there is no color, no choice; a place where uniqueness and freedom have been traded for sameness and security. Lois Lowry has created such a place in the novel The Giver. This place, or rather a community, is expected to be in the future and is supposed to be a utopia where everyone follows the rules. The Giver is an amazing piece of literature; the characterization, thematic elements, and literary devices that are used just prove this point further. The characters in The Giver make this novel an amazing story.
