One of the biggest differences I noticed was that in the book A Separate Peace, Finny broke Devon’s School Record at Swimming. In the movie Finny breaks the record at pole vaulting. They are two totally different things. Also, Finny and Gene in the movie visted the beach during the day time unlike in the book it was dusk. Just like the book though, Gene did not go into the water with Finny.…
The final difference that i’ll talk about is the bird attacks. Between the book and the film, there were attacks in the movie that didn’t happen in the book, and the same for the other way around. In the movie, the first attack with multiple birds was at Mitch’s sister’s birthday party, which didn’t exist in the book. While in the movie, the first attack was in Nat’s childrens bedroom. Also, in the book, Nat was attacked for an entire night, and he was by himself. That also didn’t happen in the book. In the movie, Mitch’s ex girlfriend was murdered by the birds, and in the book, Nat’s ex was never…
Ever read a book, and then seen the movie? The book is usually better right? That’s most likely because of the differences. The book is more descriptive most of the time. Events in the book are missing from the movie. Or the movie adds some in.…
Many years from now there lies a community free from pain and suffering. Yet, it is trapped with no love or color and there is no freedom or choices. Memories of these things are all but gone except for the ones that were passed on to the Giver. The Giver decides to share his memories with a boy named Jonas. Jonas wants to share the memories with the other members of the community so they can understand things such as killing is wrong. This adventure packed mysterious tale of life without memories was originally written as a novel and later adapted to a movie. The book and movie have many differences yet they are also the same in many ways.…
I believe that the book and the movie version of Our America have more differences than similarities because there were a lot of things that were different. For example, in the book the story of how 5 year old Eric Morse got dropped out of the 14th floor window was different from the story in the movie. In the movie it…
The American writer, Lois Lowry in her novel, The Giver, claims that in creating a utopian society the creator manufactures a dystopia, since the individuality of a person contradicts the creator’s idea of a utopia. She develops her claim by first creating a utopia where the residents lack individuality conforming to the criteria of sameness, then presenting the absence of intense emotions, then convey the reader’s thoughts of the utopia by placing a main character who gains his emotions and individuality, and finally declares that the utopia lacks morality spawning a dystopia. Lowry’s purpose is to criticize conformity in order to state that to enjoy life one must suffer to appreciate life. She establishes a thoughtful tone for the audience…
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.…
Both the book and the movie are very different, they have lots of similarities and differences. The Setting, Plot and Characterisation are three parts that the book and movie can be compared.…
As there are similarities, there are also differences between the book and the movie. Things that can be realized quite easily is that, Fiona and Jonas do not…
Have teens ever felt like they were being talked to through a film or novel? There is one novel, and one book that have stood out to the teen population. One of those is the novel Anthem By: Ayn Rand, the other is the film is The Giver directed By: Phillip Noyce. Anthem is a dystopian society that is popular among teens with the similar emotions, and thoughts that they have. The Giver also is recommended and related to teens considering there are situations close to those going on in their lives.…
Another example, in the beginning of both The Giver and Pleasantville their worlds are black and white. As Jonas, and the citizens in Pleasantville start to discover new things about the “Real World” and individuality, both worlds slowly start turning to color. In The Giver they notice color in Gabriel’s eyes. “It was the first thing Jonas noticed as he looked at the new child peering up curiously from the basket. The pale eyes.” In Pleasantville the first sign of color was the…
I know you are probably very concerned upon learning I have left the community. However, I have written to you to explain why I did so. As you both know, I have been training along the Giver to become the new Receiver of Memory. Over time, I have received many memories, and experienced pain like no other, you are unable to grasp the concept of some things I have learned, but I will try my best to explain them to you so you can understand why I have chosen to leave. I have been taught and experienced color, and how our community leaders had destroyed it in the time much before us. They have taken away what makes us different and diverse, emerging the community into a world of black and white and sameness. While I was in training, I came across a book called The Giver by Lois Lowry. It tells of a society where the leaders control everything and everyone. It sounded a lot like our community, there is release, sameness, job assignments, food deliverers, and so much more. At first, when I started reading, I thought it was a book written about our community. I have learned a lot of secrets about our neighborhood, most of which encouraged me to leave, proving our community is a false utopia. Therefore, I have chosen to leave because of the truth of release, and lack of diversity.…
How the book tries to warn us about the importance of right of choice, feelings and memories.…

Another difference between the movie and the book are the animals that attacked Brian while he was in the wilderness. In the movie the bear attacked Brian and destroyed his shelter and he wrestled and injured the bear. Also in the movie Brian got attacked by a raccoon. While in the book Brian sees the bear but doesn’t have any physical contact with her. In the book Brian got attacked by a moose and a skunk. In this event I discovered some differences but also some similarities like the wolf, porcupine and the mosquitoes attack.…
