    There is no escape from the horrors that were all around me. Dead bodies floated silently around while the living ones were face to face with death itself fighting until the very end. Others just lost hope and gave up. “How foolish to believe we are more powerful than the sea or the sky” (pg.341). Everything seemed so hopeless but there was something in me that didn’t give up, I wanted to see my dear Halinka so badly and cradle her in my arms, reassuring her that everything will be alright. But the truth is that I myself also need reassuring, but one thing I knew for sure was that I knew that the knight would be a savior.…

    Throughout the reading of “Of Mice and Men”, written by John Steinbeck, I feel that the one quote that embodies the author’s message of the entire work is located towards the end of the novel. I find that the quote that embodies the message is, “He pulled the trigger.” (106). To me, this quote shows the loyalty of George to Lennie. In the beginning of the novel, we see that George has somewhat rescued Lennie, and taken him away from the danger that he was facing back in Weed.…

    First, Jonas learns the power of pain when the Giver gives him the memory of the broken leg.

    The capability of the memories are so powerful that Jonas experienced how they felt and he could actually sense them. For example on the first page of chapter 11,“ Then he shivered… tongue touched the suddenly chilled air, or “ He felt it blow against his hands…”, (Lowry)these quotes show that the memories grip a great power. The memories made Jonas perceive words he had never knew of before. They let him feel sensations that he had never knew existed. Jonas needed these memories because they were going to become a major part of his life. This is only one of the great things the memories can do. These memories also can cause awful things, such as destruction. When talking about sharing memories with the Giver, the Giver denies the idea. “… the community has to bear the burden themselves…great chaos…” (Lowry 194-195)so if the memories were to be released there would be great a pandemonium and vast destruction. But after conquering that, everyone will have wisdom, the ability to feel, and emotions, to live normal lives. From all the memories it is learned that the memories hold both good and bad…

    The Giver movie and the Giver novel were very different. This is most likely because the Giver book was released in 1993 and the movie was made in 2014. First, the movie depicts the characters to look like they are eighteen or nineteen, in the book they are only twelve. Also, in the movie Jonas begins to see beyond like in the book, except he sees yellow, unlike in the book where he sees red. In addition to that, a more important difference would be that in the move Ashers´ job is drone pilot and he plays a much bigger role. In the novel, he is the director of recreation and he doesn't do anything important. Finally, in the movie, Fiona almost gets released because she helped Jonas leave. In the novel, Jonas does not receive help from Fiona…
