The Similarities Between 'The Giver': Comparing The Book And Movie

Movies are great visual representations of books, but not all movies are accurate. The Giver, by Lois Lowry, is about a boy named Jonas who lives in a utopian society where everything is the same without any diversity. One day, on the day of the ceremony, Jonas is chosen to be the next receiver of memory, and he gets educated with memories that were once erased. However, Jonas realizes that everything about their current system is wrong and he rebels. The book, The Giver, has a different plot and a different characterization, but a similar setting when compared to the movie.

There are many differences between the book and movie version of The Giver. The movie changed many parts of the book, to make the movie more interesting and intense, so that people will be more interested in watching it. One difference is the way that Jonas received the memories from the Giver. Another difference is the relationship between Jonas and Fiona. The final difference is when Jonas flees his community when he wasn’t supposed to and succeeded without getting caught. This essay will describe the differences between the book and the movie version of the Giver.

In The Giver, there was a boy named Jonas who was selected to be the Receiver of Memory and was trained by a person named The Giver. When Jonas found out Gabriel was about to be released, he desperately wanted to save him by leaving the community with him and was successful. The Giver movie and The Giver book had lots of differences. Just to name a few that stood out a lot was in the movie they skipped the beginning, Asher didn’t try to stop Jonas and there also was no map. Therefore, since both the book and the movie are really different it’s really hard to declare which one is better. The book was good because unlike the movie, it included the beginning part of the book. However, in the movie, they made it more intense when everyone was chasing after Jonas, which made it really interesting. The reasons of how the movie and the book are different will be explained in the next few paragraphs.

The third main difference between The Giver book and the movie was the Chief Elder's role. In the Giver book, the Chief Elder was not much of an important character, "The initial speech at the Ceremony of Twelve was made by the Chief Elder, the leader of the community who was elected every ten years," (pg. 51 - Lois Lowry). However, the Chief Elder played an important role in the Giver movie. In the book, the Chief spoke in a few chapters during Ceremonies and that was all. The Giver movie's Chief Elder always watched Jonas closely. She started becoming suspicious of Jonas, and so she would warn Jonas' mother and The Giver. She then found out about Jonas' plan to escape. When she did, she ordered Asher to "lose him" (The Giver movie). That meant she wanted Asher to kill Jonas.

Something was different, and they knew it. Their life was different and they didn’t want to live that life. Jonas from the Giver and Truman from the Truman show went on pretty similar biblical adventures to change their life. They wanted to change their similar easy life and wanted to experience real things. When reading and watching The Giver and The Truman Show, there are similarities that connect with the same idea. This shows that both the movie and the book were well thought out in some of the same ways, but had their differences. There are many similarities and differences in The Giver and The Truman Show.

The Giver and The Truman Show have many similarities and differences. They both have Climate Control and the main characters in The Giver, Jonas, and the main character in The Truman Show, Truman, is that they are both not biologically related to their parents in the book and movie. Even though there are many similarities and differences in The Giver and The Truman Show there are only two main similarities and only one major difference.

In conclusion, the book, The Giver, and its film adaptation were different in several ways, but the theme and storyline were kept the same. I preferred the movie over the book because it contained more action. I believe most of the changes to the movie make sense for telling the story on the big screen, though I do not think all of them were necessary or

In the book,

In The Giver their life is different from our life. The book and the movie are similar because the community takes the morning medication for their stirrings. The community also don't see color. The book and the movie are different because Asher is a drone pilot. It includes Jonas kissing Fiona. There is a variety of diffrences and similarities between the movie and the book “ The Giver ”.

His father tells him Gabriel is to be released soon, so he decides to leave the Community and release all of the memories which he has received to the members of the Community so that they can see the error of their ways. “The Giver” is similar to Brave New World in that members of both the World State and the Community seem to be completely unaffected by death and everyone is constantly delusionally happy. In addition, both societies emerged from some sort of horrific, world-shattering event. The main difference between the novel and the movie is that in “The Giver”, the protagonist managed to spread individuality to his world by releasing the memories to the Community, while at the end of Brave New World, John the Savage ends up killing himself. A major theme in both the movie and the novel is the importance of individuality. In both cases, only the individualistic character is able to see the fault in their worlds. Personally, my favorite parts of the movie were the montages of happy memories that Jonas received, because they created a sense of vitality that made me feel very

The Giver, a book by Lois Lowry, and The Giver, the movie version, have more differences than similarities. The movie changes some details to fit into the new themes and expectations of the film. There are some similarities between the two, such as the general idea of a community based off of Sameness and order. However, there are many differences in things like the themes, the plot, the symbols, and the characters that just cannot be neglected. The movie is more different to the book than similar because it removes important details, such as Jonas’ pale eyes, limiting exposure to themes like government surveillance, and changing the ending of the movie to being more literal.

The Giver is both best-selling book by Lois Lowery and a major motion picture. They are both centered on the same storyline and character but also have some major differences. “The movie (and the book) takes place in the confines of “the community,” something that started after “the ruin,” when all memories were erased and everyone became equal.” (Krule, 2014). The book and the movie and the book are very different in many ways such as the plot, characters and concepts. The book and movie are more different than they are similar, although there are a few similarities.

When The Giver gave Jonas memories in the movie he just held his wrists and he gave him the memories, but in the book he made Jonas lay down and take off his shirt and he would put his hands on his back and transfer the memories to Jonas. Transferring the memories in the movie is faster and more efficient if something bad happens then you can just do it really quick and grab his arms and just transfer the memories, however, if something bad happens in the book he would
