The many sacrifices by veterans

The sacrifices that soldiers made for to their country is limitless,they put our safety before theirs.Knowing that they wouldn't make it out of combat alive,they still sacrificed their lives for us.Even though some veterans are unknown,each one is thanked in different ways.Veterans had to move away in order to protect their family and others,they had to go through painful moments.Some have been traumatized because of the things they've witnessed and gone through,some have lost a lot for many people.

Giver book and movie

The Giver movie and The Giver book have different settings,some ways that The Giver settings are different are.Colors are actually told/shown at the end of the movie,and the way Jonas had discovered color for the first time was different from the book.In the move,he had first seen it in Fiona's hair,in the book he had noticed it from an apple..Some ways the book and movie are the same is there is no color that is shown,everything and one is in black and white.

In The Giver movie and book,there are a lot of differences.For example,most of the jobs the characters are given aren't the same between the movie and book.Fiona is shown and brought up more in the movie,Asher's personality is different from when it is in the movie.Also,the characters look older then they're described in the book.

Some similarities between The Giver movie,and The Giver book.One example are the ways the color is described in the book,the whole movie was in black and white.The Giver book and described it like that too.But,most of the characters look the same way they were described in the book.

Giver blog post

        In the Giver,by lois Lowry. The main character Jonas is a dynamic person,he starts to care for others throughout the story.If someone is in pain he tries to help get rid of the pain.“He was confused,noisy,foul-smelling place.It was daylight,everywhere,and the air was thick with smoke that hung,yellow and brown,above the ground.” This quote was in chapter 15,page 18.This memory took placed because the Giver(Jonas friend/mentor) was having a painful memory.He asked Jonas to help him with the pain.Jonas decided to help him so he wouldn't suffer from the memory.Another way Jonas has changed,is because he's started to get new feeling and desires he

       In the Giver,by Lois Lowry.Jonas is being effected by many characters in the book.One character that helps him change,is the Giver.He is helping by giving Jonas memories,some bad memories,but then some really good memories.The setting in which Jonas is in,helps him discover the differences between rights and wrongs.For example,the memory of war.Made him realize that he didn't know and his friends didn't know what war was actually like,so when his friends were playing a war game.It triggered a memory of war.One good memory that he was given,was the memory of Christmas and love,at first Jonas wasn't able to describe the feeling of love,"I couldn't quite get the word for the whole feeling of it the feeling that was so strong in the room.Love,the Giver told him."Chapter 16,page 125. The memory of Christmas,made him get confused on what to describe the feeling that was in the room."On the floor there were packages wrapped in brightly colored paper and tied with gleaming ribbons.As Jonas watched,a small child began to pick up the packages and pass them around the room.
