The Giver Research Paper

The themes of suffering and death, outline the author and director’s sociological perspective on manipulation and are developed through the techniques of juxtaposition, symbols, camera angles and sound effects. Lowry uses juxtaposition when associating a cruel act with a normalised blameless deed as Jonas is granted the opportunity to witness the “release” of a child. “…the new child, no longer crying, moved his arms and legs in a jerking motion. Then he went limp. His head fell to the side, his eyes half-open. Then he was still” (Chapter 19). Lowry uses subtle yet effective language to describe the death of the child; however, the incorporation of laughter and happiness expressed through Jonas’ father contrasts with the reality of the

How many freedoms would you be able to give up for a “perfect” society? In the book “The Giver”, describes a society where people are given an assignment at age 12. The main character, Jonas was appointed the Receiver and follows a wise old man with the name of “The Giver”. Over time he receives the good and bad memories of the past and soon realizes what his communities deepest darkest secrets. So where would I think the line between public safety and personal freedom should be drawn? I feel if that should be up to the individual and that people should be aware of what is the truth and not be hidden by anything. Being hidden by color/diversity/red, having no love as well as no hate, and no personal freedoms? Is that fair?

In The Giver, everyone is equal. There is only equality. If you were to compare the society of The Giver to our own society, there is a big difference. Their society is almost perfect there is no poverty or wars. Our society is very far from perfect. In The Giver, there is freedom, but not freedom of choice. This is the difference between our society and theirs. In The Giver, people are equal, there is no discrimination of any kind; in our society we have discrimination of all sorts like racism, sexism, and ageism.

My thesis for the giver is that you have to make decisions in your life because if you don’t then there really is no purpose in life, what's the purpose to be alive if you're not going to do anything with it all they do is feed you and you go to work and your job isn't even your choice sure you can do volunteer work where you want but Jonas didn't get that choice.

“You’re not the same individual you were a year ago, a month ago, a week ago. You’re always growing experiences so don’t stop. That’s life” (Jorge Infante).

“It’s our choices that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities,” said J.K Rowling. No, it’s not worth losing your choices to go live in a perfect world. To have your choices is very important in life. Living in a perfect world doesn’t always mean that everything will be perfect. In the book’s utopia, nobody gets to celebrate their birthday, nobody gets to choose their child’s name, and everybody is always being watched.

Imagine living in a world where everything is controlled. No emotions, love, choices, and color. There were no conflicts, but lives were completely controlled. This is how life is in the thrilling novel by Lois Lowry, The Giver in 1993. Once a young adolescent finds out what has been stolen from him and his community, through memories from the Giver. After finding this out, he devises a plan to save the community and escape. As the Giver helps him, Jonas escapes with his baby brother Gabe to Elsewhere. Lowry creates many themes in The Giver, not only on how good and bad memories are needed to grow, but also how you should be steadfast to do what you believe in even if it goes against society and government, and how perfection isn’t something to strive towards.

Jonas (no last name) is the main character of the book The Giver. Jonas lives in what seems like a post-apocalyptic world in a community that has no color or music or memories but is a utopian civilization. He is faced with a tough challenge at the Ceremony of Twelves (Where they turn 12) and is chosen to be the Receiver of Memories where he must burden himself with memories of the past so he can provide wisdom to the community. Jonas then realizes through many long lost memories that there are many dark and horrible secrets that build the foundation of the community, therefore, The Giver and Jonas decide to make a plan to leave the community to confront them with the memories of what life was like back then so that the people would know what

We were sitting at our dinner table, going through the usual nightly routine. We say how we felt throughout the day. we can only express our feelings in one word, its one of the rules. I usually fight with my sister for who gets to go first, but today I just tell her to go. "Thank you, Jonas." I hear her say. I am just too worried to fight. Because all I've been thinking about is the ceremony of twelve.

“Emotion without reason lets people walk all over you; reason without emotion is a mask for cruelty” Nalini Singh.

The Giver seems to begin as another adaption of the all too common heroic teenage films that seemed to follow the booming success of The Hunger Games with Katniss’ heroic volunteer and Tris’ dauntless traits in Divergent all destined to save their dystopian societies. Ironic as this novel was written in 1993, long before Suzanne Collins put pen to paper, however as you pan across the beginning of the black and white film it appears as a Utopia. Featuring the likes of Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges the story follows Jonas (Brenton Thwaites), who lives in a society that has been stripped of all emotion and memories of any such life and are controlled by a higher power. Jonas, inquisitive from the very beginning, is destined to become the receiver of memory and save his brainwashed society. Many

Is killing ever okay? IN Lois Lowry’s novel The giver, the community believes killing is okay. The Giver begins with Jonas who is a 12-year-old boy and his sister Lily who is 7-year-old girl. They all are assigned jobs and The Giver is the Old Receiver of Memory. The teacher teaches Jonas about color, love,war, and pain so he can feel those some day.
