    Another difference between the movie and the book are the animals that attacked Brian while he was in the wilderness. In the movie the bear attacked Brian and destroyed his shelter and he wrestled and injured the bear. Also in the movie Brian got attacked by a raccoon. While in the book Brian sees the bear but doesn’t have any physical contact with her. In the book Brian got attacked by a moose and a skunk.

For example, in the book the story of how 5 year old Eric Morse got dropped out of the 14th floor window was different from the story in the movie. In the movie it…

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…

    I know you are probably very concerned upon learning I have left the community. However, I have written to you to explain why I did so. As you both know, I have been training along the Giver to become the new Receiver of Memory. Over time, I have received many memories, and experienced pain like no other, you are unable to grasp the concept of some things I have learned, but I will try my best to explain them to you so you can understand why I have chosen to leave. I have been taught and experienced color, and how our community leaders had destroyed it in the time much before us. They have taken away what makes us different and diverse, emerging the community into a world of black and white and sameness. While I was in training, I came across a book called The Giver by Lois Lowry. It tells of a society where the leaders control everything and everyone. It sounded a lot like our community, there is release, sameness, job assignments, food deliverers, and so much more. At first, when I started reading, I thought it was a book written about our community. I have learned a lot of secrets about our neighborhood, most of which encouraged me to leave, proving our community is a false utopia. Therefore, I have chosen to leave because of the truth of release, and lack of diversity.…
