Throughout the reading of “Of Mice and Men”, written by John Steinbeck, I feel that the one quote that embodies the author’s message of the entire work is located towards the end of the novel. I find that the quote that embodies the message is, “He pulled the trigger.” (106). To me, this quote shows the loyalty of George to Lennie. In the beginning of the novel, we see that George has somewhat rescued Lennie, and taken him away from the danger that he was facing back in Weed.…
First, Jonas learns the power of pain when the Giver gives him the memory of the broken leg. For example, after Jonas receives the memory of the sledding incident, he realizes, “They have never known pain” (Lowry 139). His whole family is happy all the time because they have never felt true pain. The realization that only he and the Giver know the power of pain makes him feel lonely; and Jonas wishes that others could undergo a minimal amount of pain and everyone could share so the burden would be less on him and the Giver. But the Elders made the community this way so that all people except Jonas and the Giver would never experience pain, making Jonas feel more isolated than ever.…

There is no escape from the horrors that were all around me. Dead bodies floated silently around while the living ones were face to face with death itself fighting until the very end. Others just lost hope and gave up. “How foolish to believe we are more powerful than the sea or the sky” (pg.341). Everything seemed so hopeless but there was something in me that didn’t give up, I wanted to see my dear Halinka so badly and cradle her in my arms, reassuring her that everything will be alright. But the truth is that I myself also need reassuring, but one thing I knew for sure was that I knew that the knight would be a savior.…

¨If you treat an individual how he is, then he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he is what he ought to be, and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.¨ by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

The Giver movie and the Giver novel were very different. This is most likely because the Giver book was released in 1993 and the movie was made in 2014. First, the movie depicts the characters to look like they are eighteen or nineteen, in the book they are only twelve. Also, in the movie Jonas begins to see beyond like in the book, except he sees yellow, unlike in the book where he sees red. In addition to that, a more important difference would be that in the move Ashers´ job is drone pilot and he plays a much bigger role. In the novel, he is the director of recreation and he doesn't do anything important. Finally, in the movie, Fiona almost gets released because she helped Jonas leave. In the novel, Jonas does not receive help from Fiona…
