Giver Vs. Book

One of event from the book that is different from the movie is having Fiona have feelings and emotions for Jonas and making her help Jonas escape from the community with Gabriel. But in the book not a single person helps Jonas escape with Gabriel.The Giver only helps Jonas escape from the community by making a plan but not with Gabriel. “Jonas went over the plan in his head - Jonas and The Giver had gone over it and over it” (158). This shows how in the book “The Giver” helps Jonas escape the community by making a plan but doesn't help Jonas escape with Gabriel. Then in the movie Jonas tells Fiona not to take her shot and she starts to think in Jonas. Making her release she had feelings for Jonas. Making Fiona helps Jonas escape with Gabriel in the end. As well as in the  book Fiona doesn’t have feelings for Jonas it never says in the book she liked Jonas more than a friend. But in the movie she ends up having feelings for Jonas.

The thing that is different from the director showing us the community than how we find out in the book is that in the book you find out how the community is as the book goes on.You get to picture the community how you think it looks like. But in the movie you see how the community is. How the people are how the buildings are. The bicycles are, As in the book you imagine the character’s bike differently. I think the director chose to do it this way was because the audience will have a better understanding of how the setting looks like. As well as a better understanding on how these characters live and how this time in the world is. This changes the story by giving away how the community looks like to the audience. Instead of having the audience figure out and imagine how the setting looks like. Or how the characters look like. Just how the book makes you do that. It makes lyou use your mind and imagine the characters and settings the way you want. It changes the way you see the story when you have a different way or picture of that movie. Like “The Giver” movie.

The Novel impacted most the understanding of The Giver because in the book I get a better understanding on how Jonas feels about the memories he receives. As well as how the world he lives in is different from the world they use to live in. The book is more detailed about the way the characters are and how the community is told. It shows the reader/me how the characters are and how they behave. As well as it attracts the reader into the book when they don’t know how the community is. It makes the reader use his/her mind to imagine the setting and characters. But in the movie the director gives away how the entire setting is.Yes, I know that that's the point about making a movie to have a visual, But the director gives away every little detail to the audience. As well as in the movie the director changes things in the movie. Like how old the characters are. What Jobs the characters get. Fiona gets nurture instead of caring for the old. This changes the story. It also has Jonas and Gabriel have the same birth mark instead of the same pale eyes. These changes confuses the audience. The book makes me have a better understand about The Giver because I can understand why Jonas doesn’t tell Fiona anything about his job and why he doesn’t receive help from the other characters only the Giver. Because there is no coming back for Jonas  he left the community. “So if you escape, once you are gone - and, Jonas, you know you can never return (155). But in the movie Jonas tells Fiona that he will come back for her and the rest. As well as in the book Jonas doesn’t cross anything that is the boundary of where the memories are. But in the movie he does. All the memories go back to all the citizens in the community. This is why I have a better understanding about The Giver threw the book.
