I did that because in the book nobody but the giver and Jonas can see color so the side with different colors are meant for Jonas and the giver because they can see color and the gray side is meant for the other people because they cannot see colors. I have also made circles on each side to represent the people in the community. The two circles on the on the right represent Jonas and the Giver and the bunch of circles on the left represent the rest of the people

The Giver‚ action-packed and full of adventure both in the movie and book. Although differences may apply they are both fascinating. Imagine a community where your feelings are tucked away from a pill? Both in the movie and the book Jonas was skipped during the ceremony of the twelve.

This is a pretty big key in the book because this is the time Jonas becomes the receiver of memory. Towards the

novel The Giver is “Choices cannot be made without wisdom and knowledge of the past”. This is displayed in many times in the book. Three examples are; the elders asking the Giver for advice on important tasks‚ Jonas’s father releasing a baby‚ and Jonas’s choice to leave community. The first examples of the theme take place after Jonas recently received the painful memory of war. That memory had poured him over the edge of bearing the memories. He had then started to question why the Giver and himself

THE GIVER Compare / Contrast Essay In The Giver I believe that in Jonas’ community they live in a dystopia. The book gives me many reasons to believe so. The setting for Jonas’ community is in the future where numerous technological advances have been made. In the beginning of the book it is December‚ the month where the Ceremonies 1 through 12 happens.

Jonas learns pain‚ warfare‚ death‚ and many emotions he never felt before through
