    Similarities Between The Hunger Games And The Giver

    The novel, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is about a teenage girl, Katniss, having to live in a poor world where she participates in a yearly event called ‘The Hunger Games’. The Giver by Lois Lowry is about a teenage boy having to see the flaws of a world which are sameness. The Hunger Games is more dystopian than The Giver but both stories share some similarities.

    Differences Between The Giver Book And Movie

    Movies and books are always different; in a movie you can show multiple characters, and in most books you're stuck in one character's narrative. For instance in the book The Giver the character Fiona doesn’t care about Jonas as deeply as she does in the movie. In the movie she stops her injections, and she starts to love Jonas. However in the book she only “enjoys having Jonas’s company”. In the movie she also helps Jonas steal Gabe before he is killed, and she is put in the community jail for helping him. Before she is going to be released she talks about how she has felt things. That she knows what it is like to truly feel, and in the book she isn’t this unorthodox.…

    Similarities Between The Giver And Harrison Bergeron

    The theme of freedom is examined in both texts, the giver, and Harrison Bergeron. The giver shows us that freedom is critical to learning and to happiness. We see the consequences of sacrificing freedom for perfect equality. For example, Jonas is selected and forced to become the receiver of memory. He receives a range of memory from the giver and this enables him to question the structure of his community and ultimately the lack of freedom. In comparison to Harrison Bergeron, we see a different way in which the authorities restrict freedom. George has been given an ‘ear radio' that eject uncomfortable sounds every time he has critical thoughts. In both texts, their freedom of choice has been taken away from them.…

    In The Giver, Jonas starts out as an ordinary young boy with no significant positive traits. In the novel, Jonas shows no out of the ordinary characteristics. There have definitely been no outstanding achievements, or noble qualities presented. All that is given based on Jonas’ “personality”is Jonas’ obsession with correct language(Lowry 3).
