Compare and contrast The Giver book with Film

In the book Jonas sees the color in the apple change first. But in the movie he sees Fiona's hair change first. They're different because they didn't really follow the order of the book but they're the same because Jonas did see the change in Fiona's hair. It kind of affects how the story goes because for the people that read the book would be confused if they watched the movie because the movie is a bit different. They also change the jobs of Fiona and Asher in the movie.

In the movie the director showed the community differently because it looked so futuristic and in the book it seemed like it was a time in the past where there were carriages and things like that. In the movie they show the bikes looking so high tech and the houses look so futuristic, all the systems they use in the movie is different from the book. Mainly everything they use in the movie involves touch and it's like touch screen. Another thing that changes everything is the jobs of Asher and Fiona. In the book it said they would all be too busy to be with friends but it in the movie they are always together. In the book it said they'd be alone, especially Jonas. “Jonas remember the elder saying his training would be alone and apart”(65). This shows that the movie and book is different but it shows a bit of similarities.

The film impacted me more because it actually showed me how important certain things are in life. The book didn't really show me that, the book was just like any other book that I read and I like it. But the film impacted me more because of all the events it had in it and because of the intense scenes in it. The film also had a bit more detail in things than the book, the book just told a story but I think the film taught how important things are and that if we don't do much, we're missing out on a lot.
