The Similarities Between 'The Giver': Comparing The Book And Film

I preferred the book version of this story, because it gives us a more in-depth story about Jones and the giver. The book tells us how Jones feels and it makes us feel what heś feeling. It also gives us more information about the giver telling us more about his daughter Rosemary and how he loves Jones. The giver book was a great story about a 12 year old boy living in a dystopian city where he thinks everything is perfect but as time goes by he learns that not everything is perfect and he needs to change it. But the best reason I like the giver book instead of the movie is because….I like to read.

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 book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry is a good book and I like the idea that there is no color or weather. Although the book was good I liked the movie better. I always like the movie better because I get to actually see how the story looks like. The differences from the book and movie changes the story a lot and makes the movie better for me. One of the differences is the jobs that Asher and Fiona have. Fiona in the book is the care taker of the old and in the movie she is the nurture. Asher in the book is the director of recreation and in the movie he is the drone pilot. If the jobs weren't different in the movie then the movie wouldn’t be as exciting. Like when Jonas was about to run in the book he took Gabe from his home and in the movie

The Giver book and movie were very similar but also very different. Jonas , the main character was very different in the movie than in the book. In the book, Jonas is twelve but in the movie Jonas looks to me at least seventeen. In the movie Jonas looks very different from how he is described in the book. In the book, Jonas is described to have pale eyes that let him have the capacity to see beyond.

In The Giver movie and The Giver book, there were lots of differences. Just to name a few that stood out a lot was that in the movie they skipped the beginning, Asher didn’t try to stop Jonas when he tried to escape and there was also no map. Therefore these differences are a big part because since they are being left out we are seeing something new in the movie that we didn’t and did see in the movie. For example, since they skipped the beginning they didn’t talk about when Jonas had a dream about Fiona and the wanting to do something. Also, when Jonas tried to run away from the society Asher wasn’t even mentioned in the story. Lastly, like how Asher was not mentioned in the story neither was the map that The Giver gave to Jonas. These

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 book was in chronological order, which means all the events happened in order. The movie however, is a flashback, meaning Jonas is going back to what has already happened. In the book Jonas’s assignment is given to him when he is twelve years of age, but in the movie it happens to him when he is eighteen. The point of view in both books also was different. In the book, it is third person limited, in contrast the movie was in first person.

The Giver was one of the most controversial books to come out in 1993. Because of its main focus on wars and in the strange plot of democracy. The book was banned in many countries around the world many who even prohibited to even be read or sold in the country. But times have changed and the book is now hit the big screen here in the U.S. Though the book and movie are meant to be very similar in plot, we can see that there where many differences between the two. In things like the main focus of the story’s, the way that their government is portrayed, and the setting.

The movie and the book “The Giver” were quite enjoyable.Although it was the same concept there were some differences and some similarities.

There are many differences between The Giver and the movie. Some of these differences create or remove plotlines from the plot. The major differences that completely modify the plot are when Asher and Fiona were assigned to different jobs than in the book and The movie seems to depict the Chief Elder as an antagonist.

Have you ever wondered if a novel and film could be the same? Well, yes it can be. There are many differences in both versions of The Giver. Jonas becomes the Receiver of Memories, and has the power to remember the past. He then starts to think of why the community he lives in doesn't have the beautiful thoughts he's experienced.

Phillip Noyce did a horrible job of adapting The Giver. The movie is absolutely nothing like Lois Lowry’s book. If I had not read the book before watching the movie, the movie would have made zero sense to me. The movie does not make it clear what is going on. One major point in the book is that Jonas is 12 years old. It shows readers his confusing journey into adulthood. The readers can sympathize with this because they are around that age when they first pick up The Giver. It shows how his young innocence is broken with the memories of war and death. Another big change is how Jonas feels about Fiona. In the book it mentions that he has “stirrings” to show how the community suppresses even natural feelings of attraction.

The novel details how when we try and be perfect we forget the important things in life and how unrealistic and unattainable utopia is, also that there should not be secrets. The giver reinforces the fact when he explains to Jonas that 'the memories tell us that is has not always been." In contrast in the movie nothing is said, except the memory of Jonas' dad killing one of the twins, other then this its all through action and that's what reviews want, but a viewer having read the book first would be wanting and waiting for more. Understanding that the novel is about more then just taking risks and living in the moment, gives the novel greater meaning and makes the reader feel a real connection with the character and novel it self. Noyce does not faithfully honour the original

The first characteristic I liked about this book was the unique enviroment the characters were set in. "The Giver" takes place in a perfect world where life is so simple and organized. Books nowadays are about the characters coping with struggles, but I didn't expect to read about an easy (not too modern) setting. Personally, where the story takes place hooks me and this book really caught my
