Movie vs. Book

Paragraph 1 compare and contrast: The book The Giver and the movie The Giver are both similar and different one event from the the movie is when Jonas leaves his dwelling in the night ( against the rules) and goes to the nurturing center to get Gabe. Jonas was planning on taking Gabe because if he didn't Gabe would be release the next morning. When he was in the nurturing center Fiona helped his get Gabe and distract the guys that was after Jonas. In the book the author states, “Now at the bridge , hunched over on the bicycle, pedaling steadily “ (163). Gabe is with Jonas's family dwelling and he sleeps in Jonas room. Some ways the movie and book , are the same is by Jonas taking Gabe with him when he escapes and when Jonas left he took a bike.  A difference from the book and the movie she was assigned as a nurturer. Fiona assignment was different because if she wasn't a nurturer Jonas wouldn't be to take Gabe with him and instead be caught by someone else or the guys who chasing him.

Part 2 : There were a lots of differences in the setting from the book and the movie in the ending. For example, in book elsewhere is far away and in the movie elsewhere means is near the edge of the community. In the book rivers divide the communities which Jonas has pass in order to get to elsewhere so located. In the movie they chose to do it this way because the guys that were following Jonas would eventually caught him but since he jumped off the edge they couldn't chase him anymore. In the book they it this way because Jonas would have to go through a journey to get to elsewhere with only the planes looking for him. So because of these changes, it changes the story by, in the book Jonas and Gabe could eat the scraps of the family units in their dwelling. In the movie It doesn't take long to get to elsewhere.

The movie The Giver gave me a better understanding of The Giver. When Jonas and Gabe sled down the mountain and pass the tower, the memories The Giver gave Jonas all went back to the community. It was a better understanding of what happened because I could see it, and I didn't understand how the memories went back to the community in the book because you could see it. The Giver gives the memories to Jonas by grabbing his arms and giving him the memories that he thinks he is in the memories to Jonas the movie gives a better understanding by seeing how he gives Jonas the memories
