Similarities Between The Giver And The Lego Movie

The citizens in In the Dystopian novel “The Giver” by Lois Lowry and the film “The Lego Movie” by The Warner Bros have very similar settings. The setting in The Giver is not as controlled as The Lego Movie. The Lego Movie every day the characters do the same things every morning and every night, but in the giver the people have some freedom in the day and go where they would like to get their volunteer hours, but they still have no freedom of thought and no choice of what they want their assignment to be when they get older. The Lego Movie the people in the town have no freedom what so ever and they have to do what they are told to do and they have to like the same song “Everything is Awesome” no matter what. The People from The Giver and The Lego Movie have no freedom of thought and what they want to do compared to our world and our lives.

On page 23 it says “Each child has to get the same haircut and wear the same clothes at the ceremony or 12’s” (Lowry 23). The quote means that all the children have to where the same thing in/at the ceremony of 12. The children can't wear what they want mostly ever because all the children have to be uniform and the same. IF the children wear different things at the ceremony of 12 they could be released. If they have a different haircut then they also might get released. Now The Giver has somewhat the same topic as The Lego Movie. The people in The Lego Movie are controlled everyday in the same way and they have to do what they are told even if they don't want
