Book Vs Movie

October 17th, 2016

    In the book The Giver,Fiona is the Assistant Director of Recreation but in the movie she is a nurturer. I think she's a nurturer in the movie because that's a reasonable way to help Jonas get Gabriel and help him escape by distracting the people. 

    Even though the ending of The Giver in both the book and movie is similar, they still have a few differences. One reason why they are different is because when Gabriel and Jonas were going through the snow, in the book Jonas says to Gabriel, “we’re almost there, Gabriel. I remember this place, Gabe.” In the movie he doesn't say anything to Gabriel or not even to himself. In the movie Jonas just goes through this snow without any talking. I think the director chose to not put those quotes in the movie because in the movie you can actually see where they are at and you could tell that they are almost there since the house and where they were at was in snow. But they put those quotes in the book because the book doesn't have pictures so the author is telling the reader where they are at. 

    The movie made me understand The Giver because it was way more entertaining because reading makes me bored. So the movie is more attracting to me and makes me want to know more. Also, even though the book has more details, the movie is way easier to understand.
