After reading The Giver, it can be understood that our world and their community has many differences, but there are also some similarities.
In this fictional world, the government’s main goal is sameness. For that to happen there had to be some changes in the community and the people that lived there. This community, was meant to be an Utopian society, way different from our world, but as the time had passed. The perspective of looking at it changed in a dramatic way after more and more differences were found.
Even though the worlds are really different there are many similarities. One of the first similarities that can be easily spotted is that, the girls get new clothes when they turn eleven, Jonas explained,“ There was new clothing:

One of the main differences between worlds is that, the citizens of this community cannot see color, only Jonas and the giver can see them because of the memories of what it used to be the world before. In the other hand, everyone in our world and see all the colors except colorblind people, but this is not the government fault so it doesn’t count. In this novel age does not matter after twelve, because after that they start their training and will soon start full time on their assignments, and they don't need to track how old they are anymore. In our society, everyone keeps tracks of their age until they die, the meaning of this is to know how many years you have been living, I would think. Also in some cultures there are some important age that receive a celebration, like in the US the sweet sixteens. Another difference is that in our world, a person can start to work part time jobs at age fourteen. If a person decides to get an professional career like being a doctor or a lawyer, they will probably start at their twenties’. In our society, there are locks everywhere to keep precious things from not being stolen, but since there is no crimes in the The Giver, there aren’t any locks, except in the giver’s room, Jonas finds this out in chapter 10, when he went to his first day of training as the receiver of memories. This differences were easily spotted throughout the novel, but the main point of this was to see how much it our world and theirs differ from each
How similar are two characters from different books? 16 year old aspiring filmmaker Steve Harmon is good-hearted but struggles to fit in. Jonas is a kind, polite 12 year old boy who is quite complacent about his rather uneventful life. Steve Harmon from Monster and Jonas from The Giver have similarities and differences.
There are several similarities in the book The Giver and in the movie. One of the similarities is that Jonas runs away with Gabe from the community. Also, another similarity is that Jonas learns the word love and what it means. Another similarity is that Rosemary is the Giver's daughter and is released. The next similarity is that in the book and movie Jonas learns that released means that they will be killed.
The Truman Show and The Giver are filled with similarities such as they are both isolated. In the Truman show during the interview you see the dome with Truman’s world inside. Also you see Truman hit the edge of the scenery showing the wall of the dome. In the Giver the Giver says “help him find elsewhere that they were both sure existed.” Also in the book it says If you get away get beyond go to elsewhere.
The 1993 book, The Giver, has many similarities to the 1998 film, The Truman Show, but also has multiple differences at the same time. Jonas, a twelve year old boy with a special ability to “see beyond,’’ and Truman Burbank, a 36 year old that unknowingly is starring in a popular tv show about his life. As different as they may seem from the looks of it, they actually have an array of similar personality traits. But just how similar are they, exactly?
More than 10 million people were killed in concentration camps. Night, by Elie Wiesel, gives us a vivid picture of the horrors of these camps. Likewise, in The Giver by Lois Lowry, many people were released, or killed, which is equally as terrible. Both books are similar in many ways. Lowry and Wiesel use the evils of society, sadness, and fear of death to show how similar the two main characters, Jonas and Elie, are.
I liked the movie, The Giver very much, I also enjoyed reading Uglies as well. There are many
Sometimes, picking up a good novel is just what you need. Two novels, The Hunger Games and The Giver, are both popular and well- known, and are read by thousands, even millions of people around the world. Surprisingly, the main characters of these books, Katniss and Jonas, are comparable to each other. The two share some similarities. They possess some differences too. In some ways, the main characters characters of two novels, Katniss and Jonas, are alike, as well as differ from each other.
The Giver and The Truman Show have many similarities and differences. They both have Climate Control and the main characters in The Giver, Jonas, and the main character in The Truman Show, Truman, is that they are both not biologically related to their parents in the book and movie. Even though there are many similarities and differences in The Giver and The Truman Show there are only two main similarities and only one major difference.
The text ‘The Giver’ written by Lois Lowry and the film ‘Pleasantville’ directed by Gary Ross, both have utopia communities. A utopia is an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. Utopias present the illusion of happiness. In the effort to create a utopia many societies will shape their citizens to fit a set of ideals, whilst this can lead to a set of desirable qualities it can limit creativity and individuality. A lack of creativity and individuality in a utopia cause the people to perceive the idea that perfect worlds and societies do not require change, this consequently means improvements and progressions do not occur. Without improvements and progressions, it is still believed that utopias are perfect and free
The things that make people human could be easily be taken away. In the book, The Giver, the government has made the citizens believe that sameness is good to have. The government would even go far enough to get rid of twins to completely avoid a little confusion. People are being forced to believe that sameness is a good thing and that being unique or different is a bad thing. These people are prevented from learning about the outside world. In The Pedestrian, people aren’t doing anything except for watching tv. The police catches a man, Leonard Mead, late at night walking and they suspect he’s doing a suspicious act. The police ask what he’s doing and he says that he’s just taking a walk like what he’s been doing for years.
Could you imagine your world in which everything was predetermined for you, and you didn’t have a choice? This is the reality in The Giver by Lois Lowry, the main character Jonas faces these problems and many others as he completes his adventure. Although some may think this to be devastating, this is normal in his society. In the dystopian society conveyed in the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry, there are many similarities and differences to our modern day societies.
Books and movies are filled with symbols and references to the bible and other things such as beliefs and angelic names two examples of this are the The Truman Show and The Giver. I think the Truman show and the giver are similar but have differences in references and the way they are shown in the two dramas the giver is more serious and the truman show is more of a comedy but can be serious at times They have some of the same allusions like they reference the bible multiple times in both of them like when trueman is on the boat it is a reference to noah’s arc and in the giver the name gabriel is the name of an angel that served as god’s messenger he also told the virgin mary she would have a child. The truman show is filled with bible references
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.
In “The Giver”, written by Lois Lowry, one of the major theme’s is “sameness”, which effects very deeply the life of citizens in the community based on perfection.Sameness in somewhere just as this community, can either cause disadvantages or advantages at the same time, also including the loss of diversity.
Imagine a world in which everything is the same. There is nothing different or unordinary about this world. In “The Giver” that is the way the community was built. Everything was the same, it was horrid! The community should not have sameness because everyone is different, so for some sameness is boring.
