Similarities Between Monster And The Giver

I liked the movie, The Giver very much, I also enjoyed reading Uglies as well. There are many

Jonas’s experience in The Giver molds him into the classic archetypal hero. The journey includes both positive and negative experiences from his call to duty, training, departure, and the return home. Through these experiences, Jonas grows into an archetypal hero.

The last similarity between both main characters is that the two both have family and friends that they love, and would sacrifice their lives for. Katniss risked her life for Prim when she volunteered in place of her for the Hunger Games (Collins 22-23). Katniss has feelings for Peeta and cares for him when he is injured. Jonas learns to love, and loves Gabe, and protects him from being released. What is also interesting to note is that both characters have a younger sister, and parents they cannot be truly loved by. Both characters care deeply for and want to protect people they are

What draws a contrast between the two are the regulations instructing the limitations that must be put into put in order for the community to function. In The Giver, the point of the severe authority is to safeguard the community. The Elders made restrictions to attain a perfect society, bare of all antagonism. Memories are kept from the civilian as a defensive control so none of them has to undergo any sort anguish and hardship. As Jonas

“We don't dare to let people to make choices of their own.”In The Giver they decided things like their jobs,spouses,and children, whereas in our society we decided these things on own.The society in The Giver has many differences and few similarities with modern day society.

In the novel “The Giver,” written by Lois Lowry, Jonas is a boy who follows the rules, spends time with friends and family, goes to school, and at the Twelves Ceremony is given the job as the Receiver of Memory. At the end of the novel, Jonas learns information that makes him leave the community to save the people he loves. As Jonas becomes older, he acknowledges that he is different from his family and the people surrounded by him. Once Jonas got his assignment as the Receiver of Memory, his maturity became inconsistent throughout the novel.

In The Giver, Jonas escapes outside his home and into Elsewhere with a baby boy named Gabriel, whom he has given memories of a lost time when emotions were cherished, in the hope that he will grow up and carry on the legacy and beauty of the emotions. Likewise, Equality escapes his home with The Golden One into the Uncharted Forest, and they eventually have a son, who represents the hope Equality has that things are starting to change for the better. Both stories are also left on a cliffhanger of sorts, with a slightly scared, but pining desire for change and a new way of life. Both Jonas and Equality have an extremely strong will to change things beyond their past restrictions after learning things from the past, and represent mankind’s constant hunger for knowledge and

More than 10 million people were killed in concentration camps. Night, by Elie Wiesel, gives us a vivid picture of the horrors of these camps. Likewise, in The Giver by Lois Lowry, many people were released, or killed, which is equally as terrible. Both books are similar in many ways. Lowry and Wiesel use the evils of society, sadness, and fear of death to show how similar the two main characters, Jonas and Elie, are.

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.

Lois Lowry wrote a science fiction novel called The Giver which was turned into a movie directed by Phillip Noyce. The novel The Giver is about A twelve year old boy named Jonas who lives in a world that is utopia (everything is the same). Until Jonas is selected to be the new receiver of memory and gets memories like color,love,and pain that know one else can see or feel. Until one day when he wants to bring change to his utopian world. In the novel/movie The Giver by Lois Lowry takes away memories and things in characters like Jonas that make us human which in the way the movie portrays it is more remarkable in similar and different ways between movie/book.

Albert Einstein once said, “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” What he is trying to point out to everyone is that if someone is really good at math, it doesn’t mean that he/she has a good mindset, thinking wise. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and The Giver by Lois Lowry are both books that have a similar idea of how a society is supposed to be run, but with different plots. In both books, the government took away the citizen’s power to think for themselves. Similarly, they both have main characters that release later on how messed up and nonperfect their community is.

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.

Through our society we are all raised up to be independent and unique individuals such as being ourselves and expressing who each of us are to the world. However, in the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, everyone is raised to count on one another and everyone must look and act the same. Our society differs from Jonas’s in many ways, such as the family units, birthdays, and the way we each learn about our past.

The Giver's plot line can be summed up relatively easily. In the beginning, Jonas is serene and content with his life and he has adherence. But as he spends more time with the Giver, he becomes sad and mad at the changes of his world. In the end, Jonas leaves the community. But what about the similarities of the beginning and end of the book?
