The Giver movie/book comparison


     In The Giver  by Lois Lowry, the book and the movie are similar and different in many ways. For example, One night when he was breaking the rules, by leaving the dwelling. (His home) And he ends up going to the nurturing center where Fiona helps Jonas takes Gabe. Also helps Jonas by leading the guards away from him. “... Hunched over on the bicycle, pedaling steadily.” (163.) This quotes shows that he was trying to stay stealth as possible when he was fleeing from the guards. If Fiona wasn’t there to help out Jonas, it would’ve been much more difficult to leave with Gabe.

     A Major  difference in the movie and the book is the setting, In the book it states the communities were divided by rivers. And that else where was far away. For example, According to the book, “ He could see the dark, churning water far below.” (163) This quote explains that it is kinda difficult to get to elsewhere due to the river in his way. But in the movie, It seemed much easier because it was basically right of the edge of the community.
