Similarities Between The Giver Book And Movie

There are many differences between The Giver book and movie. Some of them are major changes that made a difference in parts of the story. Others are minor changes that did not really change anything. Although the two have slight differences they have the same meaning and convey the same message. In this essay I will be discussing the similarities and differences between The Giver book and movie.

The third main difference between The Giver book and the movie was the Chief Elder's role. In the Giver book, the Chief Elder was not much of an important character, "The initial speech at the Ceremony of Twelve was made by the Chief Elder, the leader of the community who was elected every ten years," (pg. 51 - Lois Lowry). However, the Chief Elder played an important role in the Giver movie. In the book, the Chief spoke in a few chapters during Ceremonies and that was all. The Giver movie's Chief Elder always watched Jonas closely. She started becoming suspicious of Jonas, and so she would warn Jonas' mother and The Giver. She then found out about Jonas' plan to escape. When she did, she ordered Asher to "lose him" (The Giver movie). That meant she wanted Asher to kill Jonas.

The Giver is both best-selling book by Lois Lowery and a major motion picture. They are both centered on the same storyline and character but also have some major differences. “The movie (and the book) takes place in the confines of “the community,” something that started after “the ruin,” when all memories were erased and everyone became equal.” (Krule, 2014). The book and the movie and the book are very different in many ways such as the plot, characters and concepts. The book and movie are more different than they are similar, although there are a few similarities.

The Giver is an amazing novel and so is the movie. There are some differences between the book and the movie such as a border around the community, Asher and Fiona got different jobs, and The Giver passed memories to Jonas in a different way. There are more differences, but these three are the main differences between the book and the movie.

The Giver and The Truman show are similar and different because of biblical allusions. One reason they are alike is they both have god like people in them. In The Giver it is the Giver, on The Truman show is it Christof. A way they are different is in The Giver the apple symbols Adam and Eve. In The Truman show, Truman equals Moses. The last thing how they are alike is they have something to do with Jonah and the whale. In The Giver Jonas sounds like Jonah, in The Truman show there is a storm just like the story.

There are other significant similarities between the movie and the book, so if I overlooked or forgot any extremely crucial points, forgive me.

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.

Something was different, and they knew it. Their life was different and they didn’t want to live that life. Jonas from the Giver and Truman from the Truman show went on pretty similar biblical adventures to change their life. They wanted to change their similar easy life and wanted to experience real things. When reading and watching The Giver and The Truman Show, there are similarities that connect with the same idea. This shows that both the movie and the book were well thought out in some of the same ways, but had their differences. There are many similarities and differences in The Giver and The Truman Show.

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.

Lord of the Flies is a dystopian novel written by nobel prize winning author William Golding. The book captures a group of British schoolboys stranded on an island near the Pacific Ocean with no adults or signs of cultivation. They fight the line between civilization and savagery. Due to the praise the novel received, a feature film came out in 1963 directed by Peter Brook, an English theatre and film director. The differences between the novel and the film are more significant than the similarities.

Picture this: a place where you could never make your own choices. Somebody, the elders, makes your choices for you. Nothing is like your everyday life now. If you were a twin, you had a fifty percent chance of being chosen to live; the other was killed. In addition, if you broke the rules three times, you were released.

The difference between a book and a movie is that the movie has more important scenes than the book does the book has more details to it. The Giver was an example of an book that turned into a movie. So theres a person named Jonas he gets skipped because he gets to be memory then he talks to the old memory but since he doesn't have the job any more he wants to be called the giver I think the movie is better because there is more action and it focuses on the important interesting details. I think that the movie is better because it has more action. For example, at the end of the story, Jonas tries to escape his community because he wants to get everyone’s memory and have feelings again.

The giver revolves around sameness. All the girls have the same haircut and all the boys have the same hair cut. Everything is black and white because they don't want them to see color. There cloths are the same and there lifestyle.(Lowry) Reality is everything is in color and you can dress however you want and have whatever haircut you want.

As previously stated, the book and movie share a lot of aspects in common. They both have a goal to teach the reader/watcher

There are many dystopian stories out there that are about trying to create a perfect society that will last forever. I believe that this is impossible. It is impossible for us, imperfect human beings, to create something perfect in every way. But is fun to try and imagine what our version of a perfect society would be like. This is where these books come from, each entirely different from the next. The Giver by Lois Lowry and 1984 By George Orwell were two of the first dystopian stories ever. They opened up a whole new genre of books that many have branched off of. They are both about groups of people trying to create the perfect society, but they try to get the same result in different ways. They are similar in some aspects and different in
