Jonas 'Change In The Giver'
In the book they made small changes to certain things that affected the mood of the story. First they changed the daily pill to a injection, this made it harder for Jonas to avoid taking it because he had to put its blood on the apple and scan the apple without being caught. Another change is that Jonas, Fiona and Asher were all 16 in the movie instead of 12. This made the characters maturer and that the relationships made more sense. Also when the Giver would give memories to Jonas he would have to put his hands on his back but in the movie they only had to be touching hands. This probably was a change because of time and because it's easier just having to hold someone's hands.his combines with another change that instead of the future gibbers

    The differences are subtle, but they are all there. One difference between the two are the order of events. Certain scenes, such as Paul and Albert's injuries, the French girls and Paul's leave, are all done in different orders in both the movie and book. In the book, the scenes play out like this; first the boys meet the French girls, then Paul has his leave and then finally Paul and Albert get injured However, in the movie the events play out as so; The boys meet the French girls (n this particular sequence of events meeting the French girls happens first, however, in the movie that scene is shown later then in the book), then Paul and Albert get injured, and then finally Paul has his leave. This difference is very trivial as it doesn't change anything significantly, however it is a pretty striking…

    The first noticeable major difference is how the story is told. In the novel, Jon Krakauer writes from his own point of view, providing his own input and opinions on McCandless, while the film is told in his sister’s point of view; she is scarcely mentioned in the novel, aside from the fact that Chris was very fond of her. The shift in narrators in a way limits the amount of information that can be delivered to the audience. Though the narration by Chris’s sister adds a more…

    I think it is very important to make changes in the movies from the book because usually in books they are so descriptive to the point where some stuff aren’t that important or just too expensive to have in movies. With books you have to describe a lot to really paint a picture in someone’s mind, but in movies it will show you the really important parts from the book to really make up the movie and the whole plot, and without the plot it isn’t really based on the…

    Contemplate the fact that in the book, no women are present at the end of the novel, but in the film, women play a role in the reconstruction of the new society. Possibly, this difference reflects that the book was written in 1953, whereas the film was made 14 years later.…

    First of all, one of the biggest reasons the movie is better than the book is because of the quality of the flashbacks. In the book the flashbacks were more set in the past and much longer, sometimes too drawn out and a little boring for how much background story there is for just one day dream, whereas in the movie the daydreams are a bit shorter but more set in the present and more affect by what he does in that moment with little background because of how short they are and how close to the present they may be. The daydreams are usually much more exciting in the movie as well, whereas in the book it's set back to just a boring doctor surgery, that was…

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…

    In the movie you could actually see what Tulsa, OK looked like because in the book you could picture a Slump, trailer, bad neighbor hood. But the house really wasn’t in as bad as shape as I thought it would be. The difference between the people was because you could see the difference on the street. Like who they were, how old, if they were a Greaser or a Soc. Although some people didn’t really show who they were. But in the book, you can see it, but not like picture it as well. It the movie makes it bolder because you see, hear, and almost feel what’s going on. You can actually see the people doing these things, on the other hand, in the book you can read it, but not feel it. You can also see their surroundings. What’s behind the scenes. Where they’re at, and wherever they’re at, you can tell which side of town. Both the book and the movie had great descriptions on what their side was like, Socs had it all, and Greasers had nothing. Like maybe the Greasers had old cars and the Socs had brand new cars.…

    Another important event I realized was different, was the fact that when Simon, Ralph and Jack, in the book, go looking for the beast, it is dark, which can explain why Ralph cannot see that the “beast” is actually a man whereas in the film this important event happens in broad daylight which is not very credible from a spectator’s point of view.…
