Have you ever read the novel, The Giver, by Lois Lowry? The movie is similar to the novel, but there are many differences from the novel to the movie. Some of the main changes are the jobs, the ending, and most importantly, the memories. These three changes make a big impact on the movie. There are also many other small changes in the movie, but I noticed when I was watching the movie that these three were the main ones.
For starters, the jobs that the Elders choose for Asher and Fiona are different than the jobs that they received in the novel. In the novel, Asher’s assignment is the assistant director of recreation, but in the movie, his assignment is drone pilot. This assignment leads to Jonas showing Fiona a sled ride. Because in the movie, Jonas, Fiona and Asher go to the place where Asher trains and Jonas and Fiona use a mat to slide down to replicate a sled ride. Fiona’s assignment in the novel is caretaker of the old. In the movie, her assignment is nurturer, like Jonas’s father. Towards the end of the movie, Jonas steals Gabriel from the nurturing center and leaves his community. If Fiona hadn’t of been there to help him steal Gabriel, then Jonas wouldn’t have been able to pull of what he had accomplished in the end of the movie.
Also, the ending is different in the novel and the movie. In the movie.

Although most of them that the Giver gave to Jonas were the same, some of them were different, and some of them were new memories that weren’t in the book. An example of one of those memories was when the Giver gave Jonas the memory of a bee sting in the movie instead of a sunburn in the novel. That was one of the painful memories. Another memory that is different was the memory shown in the movie that was about Rosemary. That memory was about when she was teaching the Giver how to play the piano. In the book, the Giver never shared a memory with Jonas about her. He just talked about
This essay is about comparing the Giver book and movie. The Giver is a story about a boy named Jonas who was chosen to be the community’s next Receiver of Memory. He lived in a community where everything was chosen for the citizens, and everything was perfect. During Jonas' training, he realized that the community was missing something and that there was more in the world. Jonas wanted the everybody to know that. The Giver book was then made into a movie. Though the two were based on the same story, there are three important differences that could've made them two separate stories. The three main differences between the book and the movie are Asher and Fiona's Assignments, the similarity all Receivers had and the Chief Elder's role.
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.
He threw Jonas with Gabe in a lake which is bad, and how it was good is because they were in a desert and there was no water so Asher threw them in the lake which has water for them to drink. Fiona’s job is a nurturer in the movie, which is a nurse and takes care of the babies in the nurturing center. But in the book, she gets a job in the House of Old which does not exist in the movie. She is Assigned Caretaker of the Old. “...Fiona was given the important Assignment of Caretaker of the Old” (pg. 71). The House of Old is a house with old people and someone takes care of them. Fiona’s job didn’t help Jonas in the book, but her job in the movie did because he went to the nurturing center and told Fiona to let me take Gabe and she showed Jonas where Gabe was. Then there were these guys that came to the nurturing center to take Jonas. But Fiona took an empty box that was supposed to have a baby and the 3 guys chased Fiona and Jonas left.
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.
In class we have been reading The Giver, and learning how the book is related and different from the movie. The Giver movie is related to the book by how everything in the community was identical, from the houses, the bicycles, and the clothes. This is important because they needed to keep this the same so it would give the community its sense of sameness and no individuality. Also, the similarity of the Giver giving Rosemary the memory of loss, being the child taken from its family. This is important because it shows why Rosemary left her assignment to be released. This is significant because Jonas had a memory of death and war and wanted to leave and never come back. Finally, the similarity of Jonas seeing most of the same memories that he
Hadn’t you always seen different things that happen between the book and the movie? Well, today I'm going to be finding similarities and differences between the book and the movie of the book The Giver by Lois Lowry. To begin with, first are similarities about the book and the movie. My first similarity is in the book and movie they used an injection to kill the people that's going to be released. They would take them to a room and will inject them.
There are multiple different similarities in between “The Giver”: book and movie, and here are some examples. First, both had the main idea of a perfect world with no war, hunger, emotions, or color. This was because the Chief Elder did not want change. Another key similarity is that the book and movie had the same stories and characters. They both had the story of Rosemary and the same characters like Jonas, Fiona, Asher and Lily.
First, in the book it says that Jonas is 12, but in the movie he is 18. Also, in the movie he looks, and acts 18. In the movie Jonas didn’t really seem to have pale eyes like described
In the movie Jonas was taller and he was 18 but in the book Jonas was 12 and he was small. In the book Jonas and Fiona are friends but in the movie they are friends and they have a romance. Jonas friends had totally different jobs like in the book Fiona was a caretaker and asher was the assistant director but in the movie Fiona is a nurturer and Asher is a pilot. They also wear different clothes like in the book jonas wears a cloak in the movie he wears a shirt and pants.
The plot of The Giver novel was changed slightly in the film to make it more realistic. The thing that Phillip Noyce kept the same that was most important was the ceremony of release. The ceremony of release played a big role in in the novel, taking it out would have
The first way The Giver is different from the “The Giver” is Jonas’s relationship with Fiona. In the book, Jonas starts to get feeling for Fiona when he starts his stirrings on page 35 but throughout the movie he has feeling for Fiona especially after he stops taking his medication. During the movie Jonas turns Fiona against the community and she does things she’s not supposed to, but in the book she never stops taking her stirrings medication or helps jonas flee. Another part extremely different between the movie and the book is in the movie Jonas and Fiona kiss multiple times and that never happens in the book. I think they changed the relationship between Jonas and Fiona in the movie because it gives Jonas more emotions and feeling and allows people to see inside characters more, and you can see it in other characters too like Asher.
"Is it worth giving up the experience of beauty and joy and love in order to end pain and suffering," The Giver. Color and landscape are two elements that are in both the book and film, yet they have differences in them. The director interprets what he thought of while reading the book, through the movie. The film is basically what he got from the novel. Even though color and landscape are in the novel and film for the same reasons, the director uses these elements to go about the ending in a different way by restoring color when Jonas breaks the barrier. The two elements, color and landscape, affect the movie and novel in different ways which can leave you uncertain about some scenes or chapters.
The Giver simply did not have enough action to be a movie that was interesting to an average person, so they added another plot line. It may have buried the book’s real plot line, but it provided entertainment for the
Next, I noticed that Jonas and his peers seemed older that the age of twelve. My observation of the age difference from the movie and the book was not mentioned during the movie. However,
The movie and book on The Giver have many similarities and differences with each other.
