Film vs. Novel

Objective: To analyze the extent to which a filmed or live production of a story or drama stays faithful to or departs from the text or script 

This blog contains three different parts, which will in turn lead to at least three different paragraphs. Make sure to follow the TIQA format throughout your blog.

• Part 1: Select an event from the book and compare it to a scene from the film. How are they different and why?

  
  

  Part 2: Evaluate choices made by directors or actors. Below are three options to choose from or you can pick your own.
  
  

  1.  In the film, the director shows us “the community” differently from how we find out in the book. What’s different? Why do you think he chose to do it that way? How does it change the story?
  2. What do you think of the director’s choice of Brenton Thwaites to play Jonas? Does he look the way you imagined him in the book? Whom would you have chosen?
  3. The way the ending of The Giver is portrayed in the film vs. the novel.

  
  

  Part 3: What impacted your understanding of the The Giver the most - the novel or the film?
