Comparing The Giver And The Real World

Could you imagine your world in which everything was predetermined for you, and you didn’t have a choice? This is the reality in The Giver by Lois Lowry, the main character Jonas faces these problems and many others as he completes his adventure. Although some may think this to be devastating, this is normal in his society. In the dystopian society conveyed in the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry, there are many similarities and differences to our modern day societies.

Imagine growing up to become the greatest rocket scientist in the entire country, but then figure out that you make the exact same amount of money as a teacher. That is a prime example of communism. Communism is an economic and social system brought about by a nineteenth century scholar from Germany named Karl Marx. Communism is also a dystopian society where the government owns everything and everybody is equal. Throughout history Russia, Azerbaijan, and Laos were big communist countries, and today a few countries such as: North Korea, China, and Cuba are still at large. According to the West, communism is negative because no matter how hard you work or what job you have you still get the exact same pay and the people in control make every decision for you no matter if you like it or not. The Giver, a movie directed in 2014 by Phillip Noyce, is a negative western view of communism because of a few certain reasons: everything and everyone is equal, except for the ruler, the people are puppets in the government's eyes, and all disobedience is met harshly.

The Community is a horrible place compared to our country. Read more to find out why. A utopia is a world or place that is perfect in every way, and a dystopia is a world or place that has major flaws and is horrible. (The Giver) is a dystopian society and that is because they kill the smallest of any one twin, also they have drugs that keep them from hitting puberty. The Community in (the Giver) and our society are similar and different because parts of the world and the Community have people that make decisions in society, and MOST of the nations do not kill twins like the Community does.

Many differences exist when you compare our world to the world of The Giver. In the book age is celebrated up until the Ceremony of Twelve. In our world there are many milestones throughout our lifetime. We celebrate with presents and parties. Nobody in The Giver has a birthday party for just themselves. Instead they all share a yearly celebration together.

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.

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.

North Korea is ruled by a leader named Kim Jong II. North Korea is like an isolated country that are being brained wash by their one leader Kim Jong II. People are taken and are taught in a young age on who to rule and who are the bad people and have hate towards the US. North Korea has false fantasy about the US making

Books can be different and similar in many different ways. Comparing and contrasting characters from two different stories can be hard sometimes. Billie Jo and Jonas are two characters from different stories and setting, but you can find similarities between them two.

You are about to experience a brief compare and contrast paper between reality and a fantasy. In which our world is no long a mass chaos but everyone is equal to each other. I am going to compare the book to the movie. Many things are different and most are the same, but i'm going to point of the differences today between the movie and the book.

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.

In different literature, the Giver’s world and our world shows the relationship between family, rules, jobs, environment, and childhood. In The Giver (1993), Lois Lowry shows, how does the society lives and how they interact with it. Everything is decided for the community, so it is a very strictly society. Like, what to eat, what to do, and what assignment (job) the community members get. In contrast, our world, we choose our own path of living our life. We choose what to do and not to do, it all depends on our decision. Like buying foods (snack and candy) we like to eat, wear any clothes we want, and choose our own jobs that we want to work for. While over an unknown amount of years separated between these two worlds, they both shows

“The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It’s the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared. (Lowry, Goodreads). In other words it’s saying the pain Jonas is feeling is mental and emotional but not physical. The giver is making Jonas feel these memories and they're coming back to his head. And by sharing memories it lets you get help or makes you feel good because people can help you. My Thesis is comparing and contrasting modern day to the Giver.

North Korea is a harsh country to live in. It is very difficult to live in North Korea because health concerns are very high, there is barely any freedom, and schools there are very different than the United States. Health concerns are very high because North Korea can't even pay for enough food for their people so they start getting sick (¨Liberty in North Korea¨). There are a lot of poor people their so they can’t pay for medicine to make them feel better (¨Liberty in North Korea¨). After you finish your school year you still would have to work for the state during the summer (The World Book Encyclopedia 2006). Once you get in North Korea you can never come out. Which is unfair for all the people their that want to travel the world.

North Korea (officially named the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or DPRK) is a single-party Communist state in south-east Asia, ruled since 1949 by the Korean Workers' Party (KWP). Regarded by many in the international community as a pariah state (meaning that it is an outcast), North Korea has in recent years become increasingly poverty-stricken, with many of its citizens having barely enough food to survive.
