Similarities Between The Giver And The Hatchet

Although Monster and The Giver are very different books, their protagonists still share some similarities. For example, Steve Harmon and Jonas are both very young. Within these stories, we see both protagonists grow up and experience change. As a result of their young age, there is a heavy focus on the future and how their decisions they make now affect how they will live their life later. In addition, both characters change

Despite the fact that he could be killed if he was caught. Jonas also wanted to release the memories into the community to make it a better place. Jonas looked to The Giver for advice, and The Giver was almost like a father to him. Jonas normally followed the rules of the community for what was right and what was wrong except when he ran away. Jonas learned that the rules of the community were harsh, once he had his knowledge he got from The Giver, he kind of made his own rules. The Giver shows lots of moral courage because he helped Jonas run away despite the potential consequences of getting released. Also the Giver took the risk of giving Jonas the memories when the previous receiver ran away because the memories were too much and then those memories were lost. The Giver has all the knowledge from the previous generations so he uses that to decide what is right and

The Giver transmits memories from the past to Jonas. He starts receiving memories of events like war, famine and disease. After receiving these memories

The Community and Elsewhere are two extremely different places. Jonas might yearn for a reminder of his old home, old friends, and especially the Giver. Bringing Gabriel with him on the escape solved the possible feeling of longing; Gabriel would be the one to remind him of his old home. Without Gabriel, Jonas would consider returning to the Community, just to see some people that never really knew him and never really remembered him. Gabriel would grow up knowing him and would love Jonas wholeheartedly. By saving Gabriel, Jonas also saved himself a best friend.

This is shown in my first quote which is when Jonas says, “ The worst part of holding memories isn’t the pain. It’s the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared” ( Lowry, The Giver, pg 154). In response the Giver says there might be a way to share the memories. After seeing a baby be released, Jonas decides he want s to flee the city with Gabriel.

Mary Radmacher once said, “courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow. ”In The Giver jonas gets selected to be the Receiver Of Memory. So the community don’t have to feel the pain, just jonas.

“Jonas has not been assigned,” She informed the crowd, and his heart sank. Then she went on. “Jonas has been selected.” The quote pertained to this story due to the significance that Jonas had differentiated from his peers that had their differences acknowledged by the Elders themselves, each with their own desires within a career. The quote influenced Jonas his decisions within the chapters beyond the quote within the story, nevertheless brought Jonas his viewpoint of the situation and his decision into escaping from the community with Gabe to journey off Elsewhere. For example, Gabe had been planned for release the same day Jonas had escaped from the community, due to Jonas’ significant viewpoints he couldn’t bare the loss of Gabe, especially since he would be the only few to discover the true meaning behind being “released.” In the end of “The Giver,” Jonas and Gabriel had hallucinated while freezing to death because of the wild berries, the memories, and the physical limits of his human body.

This meant that Jonas and Gabriel are at Elsewhere. Which meant that all the people in the community will have all of the memories that The Giver transferred to him. The Giver will be back in the community helping the people to suffer through their pain. Jonas’s accomplishment is that he went to Elsewhere, suffered a lot, and let the community have memories and

After the Ceremony is over and Jonas receives and begins his assign as the Receiver. The Giver gifts him with pleasant memories through his bare back such as sledding and a family spending time together during the holidays (Lowery). However, the Giver gives Jonas the memory of the Civil War (Lowery 150-152). Then something awakens in Jonas, and he realizes that the Release to Elsewhere is murder, due to The Giver also showing him a release of a twin and his daughter Rosemary. Jonas then escapes on his father’s bike to the terrain outside the community with Gabriel for he is the future

The Giver knows that the burden of memory is too much for Jonas to bear, so he and Jonas plan Jonas’ escape. In the escape, The Giver plans to leave Jonas with memories of courage and strength so that he can make his journey to freedom. The plan changes when Jonas finds that Gabriel, an infant the family had been caring for was going to be “released” the next morning. Upon hearing the news, Jonas takes Gabriel and flees The Community. The book ends with Jonas hearing music, which symbolizes finding his

Jonas wanted to live a different life. In his journey, Jonas travels with Gabriel, the child that was being nurtured by his family. He needed to saved him from being “released”. Together they faced danger and fear but it was just the beginning of a new life in the land of Elsewhere.

But the Giver stopped talking as Jonas walked away. There was nothing the Giver could do. He just had to give Jonas some time, so he walked into the kitchen and got some food for Jonas and Gabriel. Jonas was sitting on the couch, frazzled when the Giver walked in with a platter of apple slices, two cups of water, and a small bowl of tiny cookies for Gabriel. Gabriel still hasn’t moved at all. Not one bit, but Jonas was too preoccupied hating himself for what he had done. For what he had done to his friends and a whole community.

"The Giver" centers around the main protagonist, Jonas, and his journey throughout his learning experiences as the new receiver of memory. In this sequence, Jonas has had many milestones, however, breaking the barrier of memory would be the most important to Jonas. The reason why breaking the barrier of memory was his most remarkable milestone is because it consists of Jonas achieving his goal to give the memories back to his fellow civilians. For starters, Jonas went through a long distance trying to reach the barrier in order for his community to regain back the memories of the past. Jonas' and Gabe's (an infant who was going to be released due to inadequate growing) escape to Elsewhere was frought with danger, as they the two were near

The novels The Giver by Lois Lowry and Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, both have similarities and differences when it comes to their plot and themes. It might seem that the fundamental idea of the novels are opposites, but the strategies by which each society is kept up are surprisingly comparative.

Jonas’ family were taking care of Gabriel because he was too weak to pass his test. After learning what The Giver has shown him, he begins to feel a connection to Gabriel as well as realizing that he would be the next receiver due to the common mark the both shared. With each passing day, Jonas showed Gabriel the real world the way it used to be making him stronger and much happier. In the midst of Jonas’ plan to restore everyone’s memories and make things right he take Gabriel with him as he crosses the Boundary of Memories. In this film, Gabriel serves as hope.
