Decent Essays
In the novel, The Giver, there is more detail and there are a lot of differences. The three main differences are Asher saw Jonas leave, there isn’t any technology, and Fiona and The Giver were imprisoned. Therefore the book was better because it was more realistic.

In the movie, when Jonas was running away because Jonas wanted to go and pass the wall of memory. Asher saw Jonas leave as in the book, only Jonas and The giver knew about the plan. Asher was trying to stop Jonas but nothing could because he knew that Gabriel was in trouble and he knew that was the only one that could save him and also because he loved Gabriel really much. He ran out of Asher’s reach for now and he went to find Fiona so he could find Gabriel.

In the book, Jonas

    The society in the popular utopian/dystopian book, The Giver, may seem the better alternative of our modern day society, the dream land that everyone wishes we could achieve, but when we compare how each society functions, maybe this so called ¨perfect world¨ isn't as perfect as we would have hoped it to be. Modern day society and The Giver have may have some similarities, but when the two societies are compared to rules, family, and figurehead/leadership, it seems these two societies are worlds apart.
