Jonas and Kira both go to an older person to help them with their skill. Both the main characters also try to discover the truth. Asher and Matt are both young, loud, foolish boys. Lily, like Kira, has something
that brings her comfort. Lily’s stuffed animal gives her comfort and thread gives Kira comfort and peace. Both the main characters struggled a lot throughout the novels but they both remained strong. Both novels take place in a very controlled area that is thought to be in the future. Both books have gatherings that everyone in the community must attend. If you are disabled when you are born in either of these communities, you are killed. In The Giver, you do not live with your real parents but you do in Gathering Blue. At the end of the novels, Jonas leaves his community but Kira decides to stay in hers. In The Giver, the people do not have emotions and they can not see color. In Gathering Blue, Kira sees all the different colored threads and she becomes upset a few times and cries. In The Giver, people are killed by being released, which is done by walking through a door. In Gathering Blue, people are taken to the Field of Leaving where their families stay there and grief for three days. This is done because they think it takes three days for the spirit to leave the body. Jonas’ community is being kept from the truth about the outside world.

Starting the book is about the most painful thing (almost as painful as a head on collision with a semi on the highway.) Never the less once the characters become more apparent, and a type of plot is reveled, things get more interesting. It doesn’t take to long to get into the book, and learn something interesting about the characters. All of them have something in common which is a brilliant way to bring all of them together. Addie is the mother of the Bundren family and wife to Anse. She is on her deathbed, and the characters all revolve around this each reacting in a different way. Darl is the most level headed about the situation (at first), Jewel is more horse, Dewey is rather devastated, Anus is rather insensitive, and so on.
