Comparing The Giver Book with the Movie There are many differences between The Giver book and movie. Some of them are major changes that made a difference in parts of the story. Others are minor changes that did not really change anything. Although the two have slight differences they have the same meaning and convey the same message. In this essay I will be discussing the similarities and differences between The Giver book and movie. One major change is that Fiona was interested in working at the Nurturing Center instead of the House of Old. If in the movie Fiona had been a carer for the old instead of a Nurturer the whole ending would have had to be different. Then she wouldn’t have been able to help Jonas when he tried to take Gabriel
America has come a long way since Columbus began his voyage in 1492. In “Beyond 1492: Encounter in Colonial North America,” James Axtell explains that when it comes to the Indian-European encounter, there’s more to the story than what the average person grasps. Most people know of how the Natives were mistreated and killed off by the Europeans with biological warfare and that a couple thousands of years later the Pilgrims and Natives had their first feast together known as “Thanksgiving”. However, in chapter four, Axtell’s essay describes that surprisingly, there was a “variety of ways Indians responded to the Europeans that invaded their lands in the wake of Columbus.” Axtell chronologically recapitulates the history of the Indian reactions to the European encounters up until the 1700’s and categorizes them into 5 strategies.
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.
Also there were many differences in the book The Giver and the movie. The first difference is that the number Jonas that Jonas was assigned in the book was 19 and in the movie it was 52. After that, the next difference is that in the book they took pills for the strings
Lois Lowry wrote a science fiction novel called The Giver which was turned into a movie directed by Phillip Noyce. The novel The Giver is about A twelve year old boy named Jonas who lives in a world that is utopia (everything is the same). Until Jonas is selected to be the new receiver of memory and gets memories like color,love,and pain that know one else can see or feel. Until one day when he wants to bring change to his utopian world. In the novel/movie The Giver by Lois Lowry takes away memories and things in characters like Jonas that make us human which in the way the movie portrays it is more remarkable in similar and different ways between movie/book.
One major difference between the movie and book is the events that took place. One example is when Charly met Fay. This never happened in the movie. But in the movie, when he met her he let all of his inner feeling out into the open and had a great time. In the movie he only went away for awhile and even then he only had what seemed to be a few short flings. With Fay, Charly was able express himself to
This essay was about the three main differences between the Giver book and the Giver movie. The first main difference was talked about in the first body paragraph. That paragraph was about
After reading The Giver I had high expectations for the movie to be just like the book. I was hoping that the ending would be better explained. . Don't get me wrong, Lois Lowry did an amazing job, I just feel that the ending happened too quickly and it was not detailed enough. Concerned with the ending of her book I thought that watching Phillip Noyce movie The Giver would clearly thing up. I was obviously wrong, it was too serious, I mean for the most parts it was OK, but the book was a little more chill. Another thing that bothered me was the chief elder, she only appeared in the book like twice, but in the movie she was like in every other scene. Really it was like they were trying to put her everywhere and make her like one of the main
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
The Giver is a book with many important messages, and one message that I feel that wasn't conveyed as well in the movie is that freedom of choice is important, and we shouldn't take it for granted. The movie focuses on a lot more on the importance of memories.
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 ”.
children's lives. For young adults, those fairy tale characters give way to darker characters and
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.
The Giver is an amazing novel and so is the movie. There are some differences between the book and the movie such as a border around the community, Asher and Fiona got different jobs, and The Giver passed memories to Jonas in a different way. There are more differences, but these three are the main differences between the book and the movie.
Another major change is that Fiona was interested in working at the Nurturing Center instead of the House of Old like in the book. If in the movie Fiona had been a carer for the old instead of a Nurturer the whole ending would have had to be different. Since in this adaptation, she was interested in being a Nurturer, in the beginning of the movie Jonas, Asher, and Fiona had gone to the Nurturing Center, where they had met Gabriel. If they hadn’t met Gabriel there themselves, that scene would have been exactly like it was in the book. Jonas would have gone home and found Gabriel. Then his father would have told him the baby’s name. Fiona is given a bigger role in the movie and for this sole reason, characters had to be manipulated in order to hit the action quota that the director believes all young adult dystopian films need. The writers wouldn’t have been able to play out the elaborate escape scene the writers decide to add to the movie. So, Fiona’s occupation was changed and she was given the larger role as Jonas’s love interest. This way she would be able to help Jonas when he tried to take Gabriel with him and create a distraction so that they could get away. Without her knowledge of the Nurturing Center that would not have been possible and she also serves to be the damsel in distress targeted by the elders for release against her will.
