There are also a few similarities between the book and the movie like how Kenny almost drowns in both.

The bombing at the church happens in both the book and the movie. A big similarity is that in both the book and the movie Joey leaves the church before it blows up.
The two men share struggles with who they have associated themselves with and how they think about things. Truman has troubles trusting others around him and questioning his life choices when he notices the way others act around him. This also relates to Guy Montag because he does the same thing as well such as: not being able to trust his wife or his boss, questioning his job, and questioning the way others in his society interact and communicate. One major similarity that I found both in the book and the movie was that Truman and Guy both deal with their bad
The difference in both stories is one does not mind the friend being in the same building while the other wants the friend out of their house.

The characters and the theme of Fahrenheit 451 have many distinct characteristics that allow for it to be compared to The Truman Show. Fahrenheit 451 and The Truman Show both present the theme that people generally accept the reality they are given. Characters in the film and novel portray this theme by setting artificial reality against actual reality. What is shown as reality to the people in the film and in the novel is not what the actual world is. The reality presented is that knowledge is power and in both Fahrenheit 451 and The Truman Show there are people without knowledge and people with knowledge.
The setting also differs and relates to one another in the Truman Show and The Giver. There are bikes in the Truman Show and there are bikes in The Giver but there are cars in the Truman Show and no cars in The Giver. The Truman Show is also a somewhat controlled community but rather the Truman Show is an act inside of an act or movie inside of a movie.

One similarity is, the main characters are both trying to change something from their city or their community.

The popular novella Anthem by Ayn Rand heavily influenced the beloved novel The Giver by Lois Lowry. By saying Anthem heavily influenced the novel The Giver, that indicates that the two share multiple similarities. Ironically, it almost seems as if Lois Lowry copied the ideas directly. Anthem and The Giver are similar in that they both take place in futuristic settings. In The Giver it is easier to realize this because they have referenced future technology that we do not have in our universe yet.

Imagine, living in an artificial world, where everything is planned out for you. There are no choices, lots of rules, and no way out. At least, you don’t think.

Truman’s life is broadcasted on live tv and Jonas’ life has no experiences or feelings.
The book The Giver, a dystopian novel by Lois Lowry, and its movie adaptation have many similarities and differences. There are many aspects of Lowry’s story that remain the same in both versions of it. Generally, the characters, setting, plot, and events stay true to the book.

A difference is his reaction to his most painful memory of war.
“The Giver” by Lois Lowry and “The Last Dog” by Katherine Paterson are both similar and different. One way the stories are different is in “The Giver” they live in a community and do not have true feelings but in “The Last Dog” the people live in a dome and a machine on their clothes tells them what their feeling. Even though both societies live in a different way they are not the same as are when we live in houses and all have different feelings.
