Everybody has their own opinions on whether or not Jonas’s community is a utopia or a dystopia. The author got the inspiration for this story when her father was losing his memory.

“’May the Force be with you' is charming but it’s not important. What’s important is that you become the Force – for yourself and perhaps for other people.” – Harrison Ford In the Giver a young boy called Jonas the age of twelve learns about his past which is our present and tries to let all the things that he knows out to his community but the problem is that his community is a place where everyone is equal now this sounds like a socialist society but it’s not everyone has limits but no feelings and emotions.

A major difference between the film and novel The Giver is Jonas and Fiona’s friendship. In the novel, Jonas and Fiona only ride their bikes together, and Jonas has dreams about her.

She is so important to Jonas that he wants her to leave the community with him and go to the boundary of memory. Another difference between the novel and film is Jonas’ reaction to traumatic memories.

The Giver by Lois Lowry does not have a movie true to the story and depth that the book portrayed. The movie, The Giver, is a mixture of mindless images trying to imitate a book with truth, curious themes, and beautiful relationships. Hollywood has, once again, changed a thought provoking book that is an example of unique literature into a romantic, unemotional, and shallow film. The heartbreaking and meaningful relationships between all of the characters in The Giver and their depth is completely lost on the idiotic film created by people that may not have looked beyond the names of the characters when making the script. The movie, The Giver, should never be thought of as an extension of Lois Lowry's original novel it is apparently based upon.

Jonas goes through a lot while receiving the memories from The Giver. He first gets happy memories such as the sled, but then The Giver has to give him painful memories.

“’Memories are forever”’ (Lowry). People make new memories every day without even realizing it. Some good some bad, that’s just the way of life, but in The Giver nobody knows what happened before them. People barley remember what their childhood was like, they don’t understand the importance of memory and that memories are forever.

How would it feel if this world didn’t let people have choices, didn’t let people share, or if they didn’t let people celebrate birthdays, holidays, or just celebrate anything? Well that’s what it was like for Jonas in The Giver. Jonas lives in the future in a community where The Giver is the only one who knows everything, but soon all that changed for Jonas. He became the the community 's new Receiver of Memory, and soon Jonas learns the terrible secrets of this “utopian” community. Later on as he learns some more about the community’s secrets he makes a plan to leave the community, and to take Gabe with him so he wouldn’t get released.(which means they die, but the community doesn’t understand that) In this book choices, sharing, and celebrations would have made The Giver community more positive.
