Similarities In The Giver

What would it feel like living in a world which everyone is same and the life is monotone?In “The Giver”,written by Lois Lowry,there’s a community based on perfection and the citizens who have strict and ethic rules to prevent their community from becoming unethical and unequal.Lowry conveyed her ideas both with in advantages and disadvantages,and the diversity which citizens in the community have lost.

The things that make people human could be easily be taken away. In the book, The Giver, the government has made the citizens believe that sameness is good to have. The government would even go far enough to get rid of twins to completely avoid a little confusion. People are being forced to believe that sameness is a good thing and that being unique or different is a bad thing. These people are prevented from learning about the outside world. In The Pedestrian, people aren’t doing anything except for watching tv. The police catches a man, Leonard Mead, late at night walking and they suspect he’s doing a suspicious act. The police ask what he’s doing and he says that he’s just taking a walk like what he’s been doing for years.

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.

The 1993 book, The Giver, has many similarities to the 1998 film, The Truman Show, but also has multiple differences at the same time. Jonas, a twelve year old boy with a special ability to “see beyond,’’ and Truman Burbank, a 36 year old that unknowingly is starring in a popular tv show about his life. As different as they may seem from the looks of it, they actually have an array of similar personality traits. But just how similar are they, exactly?

In Lois Lowry’s The Giver, the Giver and Jonas use the two following quotes to justify their community’s idea of “Sameness”, where everyone is the same but has no choice. The Giver tells Jonas, “Life here is so orderly so predictable—so painless.” In response, Jonas says, “We really have to protect people from wrong choices.” Eventually, both Jonas and the Giver realize that sameness is wrong and that it is better to be equal, to have the same rights, but able to choose to be different.

The Giver and The Truman Show have many similarities and differences. They both have Climate Control and the main characters in The Giver, Jonas, and the main character in The Truman Show, Truman, is that they are both not biologically related to their parents in the book and movie. Even though there are many similarities and differences in The Giver and The Truman Show there are only two main similarities and only one major difference.

Pain, suffering, hardships, cancer, disease, and judgement. In the book, The Giver by Lois Lowry there is concept called Sameness which eliminates all these terrible and horrible subjects and medical concerns. Many people today, the twenty-first century die of diseases and war. Sameness would cancel all these concerns in exchange for a few compromises like snow and sunshine. Sameness would also cancel out judgement and bullying.

The Giver by Lois Lowery centers around twelve-year-old Jonas, who exists in a society which, at first, appears to be utopic. But is revealed to be dystopic. The society has eliminated pain and suffering by converting to Sameness, which is total control over everything in order to make it the same. The government wants total control over everyone and everything, however, there are some who may disagree with this approach due to the lack of individualism and emotion.

Is sameness good? In the book The Giver by Lois Lowry sameness is throughout the whole community. The report below will include reasons sameness is a good and bad thing. Sameness is bad because of the way it affects people throughout the community.

The future can mean various meanings to other individuals. It could mean flying cars, hovering skateboards, or robots taking over the world. However, one author believes that the future might be what is called..”sameness”. Published in 1993, the author Louis Lowry written the Newberry prized novel,The Giver, has given a vision of what the 21st century might become.

(This is just my body paragraph) The system that the society prides itself most on is the system of Sameness. Sameness was originally intended to bring about order by eliminating differences between citizens of the society. In the beginning of The Giver, Jonas notes that after Asher shows up tardy to a class, he “...remained standing to make his public apology, as was required” (Lowry 3). The fact that a public apology was required shows that citizens take Sameness very seriously.

In the chapter 4 The Giver that we can explore the concept of meaningful for relationships. For example when Jonas says I know Roberto. Jonas said I helped with his feeding just a few weeks ago, he was a very interesting man. This shows that Jona felt the same way about Roberto because he thinks he is a interesting man. This is to evidence that Jona and Larissa haves positive feelings toward Roberto. Overall, Larissa and Jona gossip together and have positive feeling toward

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
