    The book, Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, and the movie, The Giver, directed by Phillip Noyce, each portray the story of a community that is trying to achieve or maintain a form of utopia. Although there are many differences in the way utopia is achieved and ultimately the way it falls apart, the peace and harmony desired from the utopian world is the same. In Fahrenheit 451, firemen are the people who have the job of hunting down and burning any books found in the community.

This essay makes a critical comparison between the book, Fahrenheit 451, and the movie, The Giver.…
