Introduction: Having meaningful experiences is what makes us experience human life, and by being same and pleasant restricts that. Both Gary ross’s pleasentvilles and lois lorry’s the giver, demonstrate that both the citizens of the giver and pleasentville are not actually living a happy fulfilled life. whilst both members of both societies are safe, they don’t have experiences that you grow and learn from, and both also explore the idea that we should all treat differences and normal because…

view, of a girl who is being deported by the Soviet police during 1941, and sent to death in a prison camp. The book opens up when Lina and her family are being placed under arrest by Russian officers. Lina, her mother Elena, and her younger brother, Jonas, are taken to a railroad station, and then loaded into cars; Lina slips away to find her father and that’s the last time she sees him. Lina, and the fellow passengers, are taken to a prison camp in Turaciak, which will be their home for the…

The Giver was written by Lois Lowry and was originally published in 1993. The book follows the story of a twelve year old boy named Jonas who lives in a dystopian world, in a place called ‘The Community’. I enjoyed reading this because there was a strong hidden message that carried on throughout the book. As a whole it was intriguing, but I found it slightly confusing because some details didn’t seem to have much of a connection to the overall story. The story takes place in ‘The Community”,…

Seahaven, a wonderful place in the world of The Truman Show. The Community, another wonderful place in the world of The Giver. Why would anyone want to leave these two places? Truman left the show, and Jonas left his community. Seahaven is a passive city, there is no poverty or unemployment. The Jonas’s community is also like this, they have little to no conflicts at all in the community. This also happened during the Enlightenment period. The situation was a bit different back then, their…

Rigid Rules Result in Rebellion Are following rules easy for you? What if they controlled your life, like rules that told you when exactly you could get a new jacket or that one was not to step outside unless under certain conditions? This essay is about characters who rebel from the novels Journey to the River Sea written by Eva Ibbotson and The Giver by Lois Lowry. The kind of rebellion I’m addressing means resisting or acting against the rules. Although these characters may be disobedient,…

access to health care, preventative as well as consistent quality treatment for illnesses before they become disabling or life threatening (Kovner & Jonas, 2011). The United States leads the world in life expectancy after the age of eighty years only. This may be due to better access to high technology for those who can afford this type of care (Kovner & Jonas, 2011, p. 4). Many poor Americans have shorter life expectancies because they are unable to read. This may be due to a language barrier…

past makes us learn, like when we experience pain, it tells us not to do the thing that caused them pain again. We all still need to use the past to shape our future. When people get hurt they learn things. Like in the giver when Jonas receives the memory of a broken leg “Jonas was jarred loose and thrown violently into the air… he could hear the crack of his bone.” (137). Later in the book he realized he could steer. That is how he learned through pain. People learn through pain. Everybody…

However, no hope lies in a world without freedom. In The Giver and The Truman Show, readers and viewers are introduced with a sharp contradiction, dystopia. The dystopias presented in both the film and the novel evenly picture no freedom whatsoever. Both The Giver and The Truman Show have a controller, an all mighty force who regulates every facet of their dystopia. In the novel, this dystopia is the Giver, the force who does not let his citizens have freedom of thought and alienates them from…

citizens of the community are living in an illusion of a perfect world. A dystopian society is always under close watch by the people in power. In the community of The Giver, the main character, Jonas, gets called out for a mistake he had made as soon as it happened. On page twenty-three, it states the Jonas had taken home an apple and the announcement, “This is a reminder to mle elevens that objects are not to be removed from the Recreation Area and that snacks are to be eaten, not to be…

From the background color to the texture of the brush strokes this painting feels complete. We do not see what is around him, we do not see a complete individual, but the artist has given a complete picture of the man portrayed. When looking at this bearded old man there is not a longing for more of the portrait. That creates a feel of unity and completion of the piece. The texture in this painting implies worn skin with a rough and wrinkled feel. While there is no defined end to the man’s…
