Differences Between The Giver Book And Movie
The movie, “The Giver” was a lot different from the book. Although many scenes and parts were contrasting, it keep the same meaning, idea, and characters. In the book, Jonas escaped without any help from his friends, Fiona and Asher. While in the movie, Fiona helped make a diversion with the baby, so Jonas could depart with Gabriel. Asher also helped Jonas when he released him into the water. Jonas could then live and complete his goal, that Asher had to trust. Asher and Fiona don’t understand what Jonas is talking about. Friendship, and trust becomes a theme/idea when his friends trust him to complete his goal, even when Jonas was breaking the rules. In the book, Jonas and his friends are 12, but in the movie they are around 16. This brought

    Movies and books are always different; in a movie you can show multiple characters, and in most books you're stuck in one character's narrative. For instance in the book The Giver the character Fiona doesn’t care about Jonas as deeply as she does in the movie. In the movie she stops her injections, and she starts to love Jonas. However in the book she only “enjoys having Jonas’s company”. In the movie she also helps Jonas steal Gabe before he is killed, and she is put in the community jail for helping him. Before she is going to be released she talks about how she has felt things. That she knows what it is like to truly feel, and in the book she isn’t this unorthodox.…

    Jonas’s plan is to leave at midnight and take his bike along with Gabe who is still living in his unit. He would write a note so no one would know he was gone right away and chase after him. The Giver movie showed Jonas leaving was unplanned. Jonas escaped to the Giver’s house and gets a map of the community and beyond from him.

    In The Giver, Jonas starts out as an ordinary young boy with no significant positive traits. In the novel, Jonas shows no out of the ordinary characteristics. There have definitely been no outstanding achievements, or noble qualities presented. All that is given based on Jonas’ “personality”is Jonas’ obsession with correct language(Lowry 3). He shows a constant weariness and concern with his word choice and the word choices of others around him,…

The Giver is a story of a boy named Jonas living in a dystopian society where everything is the same; the people, the homes, the weather. Though they have eliminated all fear, pain, war, and hatred, they have also eliminated choice. But when Jonas is chosen as Receiver, he must fight to bring choice, passion, joy, and love back to the hearts of his community. This type of society differs from modern society.

    In other words, Jonas is not happy with the rules he wants them to change, he wants to see change. Even though, the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry and society today have plenty of similarities, they also differ in some ways. Some of these differences are strict rules, age limit to when you officially became an adult and the difference between colors. Although, in society today we must follow many strict rules, we do not follow as much as what the characters in "The Giver" had to.…

    We may see this Lois Lowry story as only revolving around our protagonist, Jonas. However, there are many secondary characters that have been given a lot of thought and detail to truly make “the Giver” amazing. Having secondary characters develops the story on the main character’s life and adds detail to the storyline. As an example, Fiona, a friend of Jonas’, who has striking red hair is one of the first things Jonas sees colour on. Without her, The Giver would not have explained colour to Jonas. Fiona shares many qualities with Jonas. She is a good student but she balances her academics with fun (Lois Lowry, The Giver, pg. 35). She is also very polite and kind. “if we finish at the same time, I’ll ride home with you” (pg. 91) she…

    Mark Zusak’s novel, The Book Thief, was better than the film, as it dives deeper into the various perspectives and personalities of the characters. It builds up the character of Max, and the minor characters (such as the Holtzapfel family) build up the story. By reading this story, you learn about the themes of mortality and the power of words which aren’t as present in the film.…
