The Giver And The Truman Show Comparison

Have you ever felt like being watched? Or maybe you have felt like someone was controlling your choices? Also controlling the way you live and what you eat? The giver is mainly about a boy that is in this perfect community and tries to escape with another kid named gabe.The truman show is mainly about a guy who is being watched as a tv show and tries to also escape but instead of having to care for a kid, he has to survive through the sea and the weather.They both have to escape through something dangerous and challenging but that's not going to stop them.

One of the main differences between the two stories is the way they escaped.For example, jonas had to escape with a bike and Truman had to escape with a boat.Also in the giver Jonas had

gabe with him and that's his responsibility.But Truman had to go through the harsh weather that the creator is forcing.They both have a struggle escaping but i think truman had a more hard time with the harsh weather and almost drowning.

Another element that differs are there biblical allusions and the way they show it throughout the movie.n the truman show, truman walked up some stairs on a wall that was painted like a sky with clouds and it looked like a stairway to heaven.In the Giver, jonas is like joana in the bible story joana and the big fish where he has to escape a whales stomach like how jonas has to escape the community.They both had a lot of biblical allusions but had different ways to show it.

Another way they differ is there setting .The truman show had more of an old fashion town vibe and the giver had a more futuristic black and white pale vibe.Also the truman show, in there town they had feelings and more freedom while in the community they have very strict rules and no feelings and less freedom.They can relate when it comes to some rules and they both also can't choose who they live with or get married with.It seems if both of there lives are being controlled

Have you ever felt like someone was watching what you do? Or maybe controll how you live and what you eat? Also choose who you get married with and take control of your emotions.In the truman show they choose who his wife is and what he does because people are watching him on tv.In the giver they choose your wif too and also try to drain your emotions out with a pill they force you to eat.They both have a lot in commom but differ in many ways too.In the end they both escape but we dont k now what they do in

life.
