Jonas

story, Jonas, the protagonist and narrator, is living in an orderly community in the future that runs on a strict set of rules. The book was published in 1993, and like any great book a film adaptation was filmed, and released about a year ago. Like any book and its film adaptation, there are some differences. In The Giver, some major differences included the age of graduation, the jobs of Asher and Fiona, who were Jonas’ best friends, and the endings of the story. During the exposition, Jonas…

experience pain and joy because it is what defines us. One event that Jonas feels extreme pain is when he is given the memory of war. Jonas see that the Giver is in pain and offers to help relieve some of it. The Giver is overwhelmed and agrees. “Overwhelmed by pain, he lay in the fearsome stench for hours, listened to the men and animal die, and learned what warfare meant,” (Lowry 120). This is the first time Jonas has ever seen, or experienced war. He is overcome with fear and at one…

Breaking all of the laws that Jonas did, and doing things that he didn’t want to do to reach his destiny, he was a true hero for saving someone whom he loved. One example of why I think that Jonas, from The Giver by Lois Lowry is a hero, is that he saved Gabe from a release, which is when the community will kill him intentionally because he didn’t meet the standards of life. When Jonas’s father said at dinner the night before, that Gabe would be released the next day, Jonas got upset and took…

The book and movie of The Giver are very different but alike at the same time. I liked the book and movie very much. There are similarities both big and small. One of the main differences that I noticed was about Jonas. In the book he was said to be 12 years old, while in the movie he looked 18 years old. One thing that was the same was his dark hair. I always imagined him with dark brown hair. In the movie he has dark brown hair. Another difference that I noticed was how the memories went back…

The Giver is about a young boy named Jonas who lives in a society free of hatred, memories, or individuality as a person. At age twelve, each child gets assigned roles that they will receive training on to eventually become productive members of society. In the beginning of the book, Jonas has complete trust and respect for his parents until the Giver shows Jonas’ father killing the baby, and disposing of the body through a garbage chute. When Jonas sees this, he can’t but help lose trust in his…

The Giver presents us the story of Jonas, a kid who lives in a utopian society. This society is described like a community in which almost everything is controlled by rules. At first glance it looks like a perfect world; however as the story goes on this concept changes. In like manner, this community has to develop under a considerable law called sameness. Basically, it means that the whole population has to have the same and no one can has individuality. When Jonas became a Receiver of Memory…

was weak. The producers of the movie added some characters. I think that some of these characters were not needed. Some characters were that fiona was not a nurturer in the book. I think that this was a good change because it made more sense that Jonas ran in got Gabriel and escaped. I think that the adaptation of Asher being a drone pilot could go both ways . Ithink this because it made the movie more action packed and to me made more sense, but to some others it didn't need to switch. I think…
