Film vs. Book

One event from The Giver is when Asher was a assigned as director of recreation, and Fiona was assigned, The house of the old. But in the movie the difference is that Asher is assigned drone pilot and Fiona is a nurturer. The director changed the assignments so they can help out later in the movie by distracting guards and letting Jonas go, also to take Jonas.

In the movie was different from the book was the ending. Asher and Fiona help Jonas escape the community Fiona was assigned nurturer and Asher drone pilot. Another is in when he goes down the sled and in the book he doesn't and just crosses the line.


The film impacted my understanding of The Giver because I can get of a more visual Waylon look at and, can tell what time period it starts in. This also help to see what happen to others than just Jonas leaving it has more detail. The film compared to the book have differences but I believe that the movie is better it helps show how Fiona and Asher helps out instead of doing nothing. Another example is the sled in the book Jonas only saw a sled but it the book he rides the sled. This is why I choose the film over the book.
