Recommended: The giver similarities and diffrences between book and movie

The book and movie, “The Giver”, have many similarities ,but also many differences. Jonas is the main character and he is very daring and brave. One way he is daring and brave is because he risked his life, Gabe’s life, and The Giver’s life just so he could run away and have the memories go back to The Community. The Giver is very helpful because he helped Jonas create the plan to run away and have the memories return to The Community. Fiona is very loving and caring because no matter what happened, she would help anybody that needed help such as Jonas, the Old, Asher, and many more. In the movie, though, not everything was relevant to what had happened in the book. Therefore, the book and movie have many differences, but also many similarities. …show more content…

In the book Fiona did not know Jonas was leaving, but in the movie Fiona did know that he was leaving. Nobody besides Jonas and The Giver knew that Jonas was leaving in the book. In the movie, though, Fiona, Asher, and The Head Chief of Elders found out that Jonas was leaving. Now, I do understand that the directors and movie crew had to fit in as many details as they could from a one hundred and eighty paged book in two hours so they could not fit in every detail but they added too many different things in. In the book there was not even the slightest thought of releasing Fiona ,but in the movie they decided to add in an irrelevant detail about them trying to release her to “Elsewhere”, The Giver was the only one who wanted to be released so that he could see his daughter, Rosemary, again. So, I think the movie team could have done a lot better on the movie than they actually did.
To conclude, the book and movie, “The Giver”, have many similarities but also many differences. The movie crew tried to stay true to the story, but did not really accomplish it. There were way too many differences such as, the characters were older and did not look how I pictured them to look in my head, they could not add in extra details from the book, but they could add in irrelevant ones. Therefore, that made more differences than there had to be between the book and the

Although the plot has the same ending in both the book and the movies, the actual ending moments of each pieces of them are different in several ways. The movie ends with a flashback but the book ends with a dialogue and a line. Of Mice and Men ends with the death of Lennie by his best friend, George. The author built up towards it with several things lennie and george did for a tragic end since the beginning of the story. Like Lennie's trouble in Weed, his petting of the dead mouse, and his killing of the puppy have kind of shown flashes of his killing of Curley's wife.

There are many similarities between the movie and book versions of The Giver. One of the biggest similarities is how Jonas’s view of the Community changes throughout the plot.

Many movies have been made on books, but they are not always alike. As readers become more aware of what is happening in the book, they start to understand the general idea of the book. The book, The Giver, written by Lois Lowery and the movie, The Giver, produced by Nikki Silver have few similarities compared to their vast differences.

The Giver was an old man that just looked and acted tired just as they explained him to be in the book. One of the differences is how he transferred the memories. In the book the memories were transferred by Jonas lying on his back and The Giver would put his hands on his back and they would go through. In the movie The Giver would hold Jonas’ hands in order for Jonas to receive them. The memory of the sled on the hill with snow was the same except at the end of that memory Jonas could see the house and the family celebrating the holiday.

Giver analysis The book the Giver and its poorly made movie adaptation could not be any different. Given that the movie was made basically 20 years later, it's almost like the producers never read the book. The characters have very different personalities and the relationships between them are developed very differently.
