The Giver: Differences Between Book And Movie

One difference between the book and the movies is the characterization. Some of the characters have age differences in the book and the movie. For example, Jonas, Fiona, Asher, and the other kids in their grade level are all twelve years old. However, In the movie, the characters are aged up to sixteen years old. Because the characters are older in the movie, the screenwriter added romance between Fiona

One major change is that Fiona was interested in working at the Nurturing Center instead of the House of Old. If in the movie Fiona had been a carer for the old instead of a Nurturer the whole ending would have had to be different. Then she wouldn’t have been able to help Jonas when he tried to take Gabriel

Where to start with Jonas? I don't even know where to start but what went wrong with Jonas in the book he was suppose to be 12 but the actor that plays him in the movie is like 18, what a big jump. I guess i know why they did it, they did it for there can be romance in the book because it would be weird if they're little kids making out and doing romantic stuff. I can happily say Jonas full filled his role as a main/leading character.

Jonas and Fiona never really had a strong relationship in the book. However, they did have

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.

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.

The Community is a horrible place compared to our country. Read more to find out why. A utopia is a world or place that is perfect in every way, and a dystopia is a world or place that has major flaws and is horrible. (The Giver) is a dystopian society and that is because they kill the smallest of any one twin, also they have drugs that keep them from hitting puberty. The Community in (the Giver) and our society are similar and different because parts of the world and the Community have people that make decisions in society, and MOST of the nations do not kill twins like the Community does.

Jonas is very mature at the beginning of the novel. For example, he volunteers at many places, plays games, goes to school every day, shares his dreams and feelings, and most importantly follows the rules.

Another very significant change between the book and the movie is when the “12s” became adults. When Jonas became an adult, they referred to their transition to manhood as the “Ceremony of Twelve” in the book, but as “Graduation” in the movie. Also, in the movie, the “Ceremony of Nines” was called the “Halfway Point to Manhood”. This means that their manhood is the same as ours. Eighteen years old, which is much older than twelve.

“The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It’s the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared. (Lowry, Goodreads). In other words it’s saying the pain Jonas is feeling is mental and emotional but not physical. The giver is making Jonas feel these memories and they're coming back to his head. And by sharing memories it lets you get help or makes you feel good because people can help you. My Thesis is comparing and contrasting modern day to the Giver.

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.

Many differences exist when you compare our world to the world of The Giver. In the book age is celebrated up until the Ceremony of Twelve. In our world there are many milestones throughout our lifetime. We celebrate with presents and parties. Nobody in The Giver has a birthday party for just themselves. Instead they all share a yearly celebration together.

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 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.
