The Giver book and movie reflection

The Giver by Lois Lowry is a story about a group of individuals who lived in a
world where the fundamental essence of life is missing. Color, passion, and even
memories are absent. As a result, a well organized, predictable, and painless society
emerges. This is an odd and risky move on the author’s part, because no one would
want to read a book with no life in it. The achievement of strength and the triumph over
sorrow and suffering is the result of life. The author, however, does a superb and
inventive job of obscuring these flaws. The giver is a story of a civilization marked by
absolute obedience and morals, and it has a unique plot. This helps the reader
understand the story’s situation and context. The novel opens with an introduction to
Jonas, the book’s primary character. Jonas is a little boy of 11 years. On his 12 th
birthday, he enters the next phase of his existence, the ceremony of 12, which will result
in his appointment as the community’s receiver of memory. The blood flows better and
more structurally when everything is focused on him. As a result of his memories urged
to explore the outside world, Jonas eventually abandons the community, restoring the
town’s memory to its residents.
The story of the giver by Lois Lowry takes place in an unusual community. Most
readers will assume that the giver’s community is not representative of real life society.
However, there are some parallels between today’s society and that depicted in this
novel, including the alienation of the elderly, the mystery of foster parents, and the lack
of death. The first is that elderly people are marginalized in society. The elderly in the
novel are unable to have a family through you they dwell in the old house because they
are cut off from the rest of society. Everyone is getting older and weaker, therefore it’s
difficult for them to live without their families. In this modern world, most elderly people
are lonely, some avoid taking care of their parents. The elderly are prone to depression,
which can be prompted by the loss of spouses, family, and friends, as well as financial
difficulties. As a result, elderly people require ongoing care and attention from their
families. However, many older individuals live alone or in care centers without their
families due to today’s hurried lifestyle. In addition, many of the societal issue raised by
Lowry in this work are actual issues that this society may confront in the future, and they
need to be discussed rather than kept hidden from youngsters. Every family has the
same member: a mother, a father, a son, and our daughter. There is no feeling present;
just formalities exist. In this utopia, hunger, disease and misery are prohibited. And this
is what really causes readers to consider what life might be like in a society where they
had no option. It encourages readers to consider current societal issues. Today there is
a lot of propaganda about how people should appear and act, but adults believe that
these things are inappropriate for children to read and that these concerns are too
serious for them to . They are implying that young adults should learn to value one
another’s uniqueness and recognize that everyone has distinct skills and weaknesses.
