Is The Giver Truly Worth Watching?

The memories are of everything from the past such as warfare, hunger, color, feelings, family, animals, and so on. The receiver is the only person in the community that has access to the memories. The people of the community are brainwashed robots. As the Giver says countless times throughout the book “They know nothing.”(pg 99) Without the memories, the community members cannot learn from their mistakes, and they cannot become better. Also, someone else dictates every choice they make. The memories belong to everyone and should not be hidden. As the Giver says on page 145, “Memories need to be shared.” By leaving the community Jonas gives the memories back to the people. The people will get to experience emotions such as joy and love, and they will also be able to see color and hear the music. By giving the memories back, Jonas is giving them a chance for freedom. Eventually, the community could possibly become like Elsewhere. In life, you cannot ignore history because, without it, you cannot learn from the past and you cannot

The Giver is a story about a city that is cut off from all memories from the past and is strictly controlled by the government or the so-called “Elders”. There is only one person in the community called the “Receiver of Memory” who has the role of holding all the memories of the past and giving advice to the government when they need it. When Jonas gets chosen for the Receiver of Memory position, he realizes that there is and was much more to this world than the people in the community know about. Jonas soon starts to see colors(which only the person who had the memories could see) and comes to the conclusion that the other people need to know about and have the memories. He goes to the Giver(the person who gives Jonas the memories) and asked him for a way he could return all the memories to the citizens. The Giver said he was proud of the courage that Jonas had; that he was proud he had the courage to rebel against the government to get what he thinks is right. The Giver gives Jonas more memories of courage so that he will be able to survive through the harsh conditions outside the city. Jonas goes to the outside of the city and is faced by many harsh conditions and also troops from the government. But he doesn’t give up. He has the courage to get what he wants.

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.

Being the receiver of memory was a very important job in the community, however the citizens have no idea what the receiver actually does. While citizens have a very simple life with nothing to worry about, the receiver and giver of memory take on a very emotional life filled with pain. They have so much knowledge from memories that they can’t share with anyone, and this can be painful in itself. The Giver tell Jonas, “The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared” (Lowry 33). This pain comes from living a meaningful life, so it can be considered beautiful compared to others in the dystopia who feel nothing, nevertheless it still hurts as shown by the

The Giver is about a young boy of twelve named Jonas who lives in a utopian/dystopian future in which everything is “perfect” and controlled by something called “Sameness.” There is no color, no music, no anything that creates individuality. When Jonas is chosen to receive the memories of the past from a person called the Giver, he begins to see what society has lost and learns dark secrets about what officials do to keep it that way. At the end of the novel, Jonas runs away with an unusual child named Gabriel, who is marked for death, in an attempt to share his newly found memories with the world and find the place called “Elsewhere.” “The majority of the bans on this book are because of children issues instead of grown up ones.

Memories that were full of unknown things to the community, such as color, and emotions like happiness, fear, and pain. These were the things that would change Jonas’ fate. As Jonas starts training with the former Receiver who is later introduced as ‘The Giver’, who just like Jonas is also pale-eyed, Lowry reveals that in the community, all pale-eyed citizens, which is rare would most likely have the Capacity to See Beyond. Jonas feels separate and different from everyone else, not only because his training was different from everything he knew, but because he later learns that all past and to-be future receivers would be have to through the pain of the

Everyone is taught these rules when they are young and how they obey them can affect their future occupation. Jonas possess the qualities of intelligence, courage, integrity, and the capacity to see beyond, which caused him to be selected by the Elders as the new receiver of memory. In becoming the receiver of memory, Jonas has a new set of rules that include: the ability to lie, allowing him to be exempt from all governing rules regarding rudeness, which allows him to ask any question, to not take any other medication besides his daily injection, and to not discuss his training with anyone including his family and the Elders. Jonas’s training consisted of the Giver showing him memories from the past, in order for Jonas to experience emotions that have been taken away from him, such as love and fear. Having experienced a variety of emotions, memories and having shared the feeling of love with Fiona, Jonas decides that something needs to be done in order for everyone to retrieve their emotions and memories.
