The Giver compare and contrast

    There were many events found between the movie and the book of The Giver that we could compare and contrast. For example one of the similarities found in the book from the movie was when Jonas has a memory of war. After he experiences the memory of war Jonas changes. This action leads to Jonas trying to go to elsewhere and release the memories to the community. This happens both in the movie and in the book.  And if this rising action wouldn't of happened Jonas would've never left elsewhere. But also one of the differences found in the movie from the book was that Jonas experiences love first hand with Fiona. For example, when Jonas goes inside of the triangle he confesses to Fiona that he loves her. And later on in the movie Fiona says that she also feels love towards Jonas and describes love as a warm feeling that feels nice. But in the book the romance between him and Fiona never happens. Instead Jonas feels love for baby Gabe. Although Jonas did have a crush on Fiona nothing goes beyond that point

        In the end of The Giver film things were explained a little bit more. Like the fact that the memories did end up going back to the community. The reason we got to see this was because the director chose for us to see everyone's point of view. By seeing how everyone else thought or saw things we got a little bit more of an understanding of the whole plot. Unlike in the book the author chose for us to only see what Jonas thought, felt, and saw. Although the book was very detailed the movie somewhat boosted up our imagination to what we read in the end of the book. But in both the film and the book the story ended in suspense.

         I think the book was the one that impacted my understanding of the story. This was most likely because the book is deeper and was more descriptive. Unlike the movie that skipped or added some parts that weren't in the book. For example in the movie they make the chief elder seem as the villain, while in the book the the setup of the society is the one to blame. Although I do have to agree that the movie does help us visualize the story a little bit better but the book is always going to be the best option because the story plot is way more explained.
