Recommended: Book analysis the giver

The Giver was about a boy named Jonas who was elected the job of receiver. This book reminds me of another book called The City Of Amber. This book was about a strict town that was so limited on resources they had assigned how much paper each person got. Much like Jonas the main character did not like the lifestyle they were living. Both story’s consisted of strict towns where the people really did not have a say in politics. And they both solved their problem in a similar way/path. Both story’s resolution involved exploring new places. For Jonas it was exploring regions and different climates. While The City of Amber encountered climbing high to find a new village above there heads. Two different problems can often be solved the same way.

    Imagine a community that you live took away your personal rights; the things that you know and even the way that you think. This is happening to a boy named Jonas not only him but also the inhabitants of Jonas’s community. In the book The Giver Jonas and his community is living with no personal rights. I believe that the inhabitants of Jonas’s community and Jonas should be given personal rights. The community should be given personal rights because they can learn from their mistakes, to have memory and to have emotions. Those are the reasons why I believe that the community should be given personal rights.

  • The Truman Show vs. the Giver

    1576 Words  | 4 Pages

    Life is a very valuable asset, but when lived on someone else’s terms its nothing but a compromise. The seemingly perfect image of Utopia which combines happiness and honesty with purity, very often leads in forming a dystopian environment. The shrewd discrepancy of Utopia is presented in both the novel ‘The Giver’ by Lois Lowry and the film ‘The Truman Show’ directed by Peter Weir. Both stories depict a perfect community, perfect people, perfect life, perfect world, and a perfect lie. These perfect worlds may appear to shield its inhabitants from evil and on the other hand appear to give individuals no rights of their own. By comparing and contrasting the novel ‘The Giver’ and the film ‘The Truman Show’, it can be derived that both the main characters become anti-utopian to expose the seedy underbelly of their Utopian environment which constructs a delusional image of reality, seizes the pleasures in their lives and portrays a loss of freedom.

  • Differences Between The Giver Movie And Movie

    One of those differences being, that Jonas does not have pale, blue eyes, instead he has brown eyes like everyone else. In the novel, Jonas having different eyes played a major role in the plot. Likewise, in the movie Jonas and Fiona have a love relationship unlike the novel where they were just friends. “He felt such love for for Fiona. But she could not feel it back, without the memories.” - The Giver, Lois Lowry. In the movie their relationship is much more intimate than it was portrayed in the novel, this majorly affects the plot. Despite the differences, a similarity between the novel and the book is that the main characters are the same. The movie included characters such as Asher, Jonas, Fiona, Gabe, Mom, Dad, Lilly, The Giver and The chief elder. Without these characters the storyline would be nothing like that of the novel. Although there are many similarities and differences in the characters, there are also many in the plot of the novel and the

  • Argumentative Essay On The Giver

    The Giver is actually one of my all-time favorite books, so I’ve looked into why she left the book so inconclusive in the past. The Giver is basically about a boy named Jonas who lives in a perfect society. He lives in a household with his two parents and his little sister Lilly. When he becomes a 12, he goes through a huge ceremony and all the elders assign them their jobs. In this community, there is no lying, stealing, racism, pain, sunlight or color. Jonas was chosen to be The Receiver, and he didn’t know what to do because this job was such a big deal. Jonas then goes through training with the current Receiver, who is now The Giver. Training consists of The Giver passing down the memories from when the community was not what it is today. Memories that are passed down are things that are normal to us. Memories of sun, snow, pain, and sorrow.

  • Theme of Utopia in The Giver

    808 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Giver presents a community that appears to be perfect on the surface. Jonas's community is free of warfare, pain, sorrow and other bitterness we suffer in our society. The world seems to be secure and undergoes little conflict. Such a community seems flawless and is the idealistic society that we longed to live in. However , through Jonas's training, the imperfections of the Utopian community are revealed. The community allows little individual freedom and choice. In allowing only one person, the Receiver, to bear the memories of the world, the community frees itself from suffering and conflict. As a result, it gives up the ability to experience true feelings, passion, individual privacy, freedom and knowledge. To maintain the community's order, strict rules are applied to the inhabitants. "Releases" ( a less offensive term for kills) are performed to the citizens who jeopardize the stability and peace of the community. The inhabitants' careers and spouses are chosen by the Elders (or government).

  • Maze Runner Questions

    As I was reading the book the Maze Runner I was frequently reminded of the Giver. In both books the time is sometime in the future and is in a community separate from the rest of the world. Both communities have their own way of functioning separate from the rest of the world. In both stories there is one main character, in the Giver Jonas, and in the Maze Runner, Thomas, who help change the norm of the society. In both stories there were a specific group of people assigned to govern the community and the people (Elders and the Keepers). In both the Giver and the Maze Runner our interests assign different jobs and everyone does their job so the society can function properly. The Giver seems tried to be a Utopian Society while The Maze Runner is the complete opposite and is a Dystopian Society. In the Giver there are no endangerment or threatening situations while in the Glade there is danger everywhere around you. The reasons why I believe that the Giver and Maze Runner are similar are because they are both separate societies that function differently and are isolated from the rest of the world and have their own way of functioning.

    The book The Giver is a dystopian book because you don’t get to make any of your own decisions. You would never know the truth about release. You would never experience life how you should experience it. The world may seem perfect from someone’s view inside the community, but from the outside it is harsh and horrible. Their world could be turned into a utopia eventually, but as of right know it is a
