The Giver Benefits

“Were any elevens disappointed, your year?’ Jonas asked.” This points out that some people may hate their assigned jobs. They might be disappointed and be sulking the rest of their lives. You might have to train for years and end up doing something you don’t find appealing. “He killed it! My Father killed it! Jonas said to himself.” Due to his job Jonas’s father had to kill an innocent baby. In spite of the fact that he didn’t know you can see what certain jobs make you do and you have no knowledge about it. Giving up your rights to decrease pain is brave, but not smart. Everyone should have a choice, laborer or

Lois Lowry's The Giver describes Jonas, as we jump into his world of sameness. But Jonas isn't quite the same as everyone else. With what is called ''the power to see beyond'', Jonas is able to see slight visions of color that no one else can. To them, the world is in black and white, to prevent any jealousy relating to color. When Jonas is selected to be ''the reciever of memory'', he is immediately confused, as he should've gotten assigned to a job like ''teacher of the fives''. It turns out with Jonas' special abillity comes great responsibility. When he meets The Giver, he finds out his new job will be to take the memories of the entire world from The Giver, to provide wisdom to the community when they most need it. Only Jonas, The Giver, and a select group of the community known as ''The Elders'' know what the world was before sameness came about. Sameness might be tough to describe, but the best way it could be put is that it's a eutopia with a multitude of downsides. With this, I hope to describe what the pros and cons of having a world of sameness would be.

In her article, Miya Tokumitsu states that most people who follow the principle “do what you love” become self-centered. Being focused on ourselves and our happiness, as the author says, make us prouder than we ought to be. As a result, we create a division between those who love their jobs and those who do not. The writer defends those who do not love their jobs by claiming that not all jobs are enjoyable yet are socially necessary.

I would not want to live in this society because they want everyone to be the same and not make mistakes.Jonas stated,”We don’t dare to let people make choices of their own.” (Lowry 93)This is one of the reasons I don’t want to live in The Giver’s society because I like to make my own choices. They also stated,” “They chose their own jobs? “ “Frightening isn’t it?” The Giver said.” ( Lowry 93)

Workers may need validation or appreciation, a sense of belonging, feelings of accomplishment or achievement, or respect or power. Jobs that provide these determinants or values in the quantities that the individual needs are good jobs in that the worker is going to be happy. Jobs that provide most of these determinants may still be unhappy jobs because the job may be missing that one value that a specific individual needs most. The same job is seen differently by two different people because the values of the individual are the most important determinants of whether or not the job is a happy one.

The Giver is a 2014 film directed by Phillip Noyce. The film is solely based on a novel with the same name by Lois Lowry. It talks about a teen, Jonas, living in a society where none of them is different. Each individual in their society is equal. Labels like popular, losers, winners, and as such does not exist within their society. They have created the new definition of fairness.

Imagine living in a world where nothing changed and everyone was the same. In Lois Lowry’s novel, The Giver, the society is all the same. For example the people of the society do not fight and there is no war. Sameness is slowly working its way into our society. It is used as uniforms in some schools, even secluding yourself to a specific friend group because everyone has the same interests could be considered as Sameness. I believe Sameness is a major advantage due to no one suffering, but living where a society is completely the same would not be an interesting life to live. The Giver portrays how sameness in a society could have advantages and disadvantages.

You are about to experience a brief compare and contrast paper between reality and a fantasy. In which our world is no long a mass chaos but everyone is equal to each other. I am going to compare the book to the movie. Many things are different and most are the same, but i'm going to point of the differences today between the movie and the book.

How would you live life if you were trapped in a cage, like an animal, with no freedom, individuality or the ability to make choices? In The Giver by Lois Lowry a young, different boy by the name of Jonas, finds himself in a community where all people live a similar lifestyle with balance and control…. except for two people, The Giver and The Receiver who hold the strongest feelings and emotions of the community so the leaders can maintain balance. It is learned early on in the book that Jonas has “the capacity to see beyond” and will be selected to be the next receiver of memories (as the previous one was killed ten years ago because she could not handle the pain of memories). Jonas then begins training to become the next Receiver of Memories

Would you want someone to take the freedom you deserve away from you? Most likely not, but because of the rules made in some places, people have no idea what the real world is like. People only get to experience a limited amount of what really is in the real world. In the science fiction novel, The Giver by Lois Lowry, Jonas tries to find Elsewhere because he is tired of living in a community with so many restrictions. During his journey, he faces many difficulties and experiences many problems he did not know existed. Sameness is a disadvantage because it requires people to follow the rules even when they think they are not right to and because it does not let people choose their decisions for themselves.

In the novel, The Giver, by Lois Lowry, there is a community in which the leaders try to make life perfect. Although that life may not seem perfect for some, it is apparent that the community definitely has at least two core values on which they built their town off of. One can also clearly see that those two values are order and safety by reading the first few chapters of the novel. Safety is often a concern in every type of community, and it should be, because it provides a way for the citizens to be well, but when an announcer yells, “NEEDLESS TO SAY, HE WILL BE RELEASED,” (page 4) referring to a beginning pilot who made one little mistake, one can see that safety is definitely a priority. To be released in this community is the extreme

The Greeks valued Theseus’ nobility and bravery, and even today, his traits would be still be valued. We live in a world where so much time is spent on building a future for ourselves, that it doesn’t give us much time to be adventurous. This is seen in a number books, including Divergent and The Giver. Divergent revolves about this character who looked down on for being different in a community where all is standardized. In The Giver, everything is regulated, but one character has a special gift which makes him stand out. These books are fairly modern, which makes me believe that Theseus’ traits would still be valued. Bravery is not something that is common and sticking to your morals can be difficult when you live in such an opinionated world.

The giver is a fictional novel authorised by Louis Lowry dedicated to informing readers about the devastating impact of extreme conformity on a community. As we progress throughout the book we start to realise and learn all these new things about the giver's community, such as creating and trying to maintain a perfect community, that comes beyond our abilities, while the givers society is having a huge impact on the individuality and individual choices on the members of the community. We learn that the inhabitants of the society had a hard time handling all the different memories, in a sudden event. All hints and evidence to these statements above are hidden and presented throughout the book.

In The Giver, Gabriel symbolize love. Jonas reveals this when he takes Gabriel with him to release the memories into the community. “ And he had taken Gabriel, too” (208). This is Jonas experiencing love for Gabriel. He wants Gabe to grow as a person and in a society that will except him. Jonas didn't want Gabriel to grow up in a world where everyone is the same. Jonas knew the world Gabe was to grow up in had he not taken him. A world of perfection in the people in The Giver was to take away pain and violence. Although pain and violence were gone, so is love and happiness. They created a world without emotion.

I feel I was one of the lucky one who got a job in very nice and organized company. I received a good salary, had a nice working environment and was given respect by other employees which were really amazing despite being the youngest employee. When I entered in this job, I knew nothing. I was completely inexperienced and unskilled worker but after working here, this job helped me to improve my working skills such as how to communicate with people around me, never try to be hypocrite, stay calm and focus only on my work. Having a job also taught me to value my own work, and what I put into something. As my mother said, this job also taught me how to handle my responsibilities by myself. I became responsible for some of my own expenses. This was a valuable experience for me. I learned the value of the money and taking my own decisions about what I spend my money on. On Short, I feel that if a person works just for the sake of money then there’s no point of working. Yes, money is important but no person can enjoy the work if that person is only working there for the sake of
