Who has more freedom? en-us 2017-05-18 02:27:17 UTC 2017-05-21 02:55:21 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/sarah_harkin/xtd5md1zo1um/wish/172501906 Compare your dystopian novel to the Giver:
One similarity could be that the government/higher power/whatever, is controlling the people and depriving them of things (The giver - Emotions, colours. Hunger Games - Their freedom, and forcing them to fight to the death). Another could be the how both the stories take place some time in the future, in a different world far from similar to our own. Both Jonas and Katniss are 'special', i guess you could call it. Meaning like how Jonas was the one chosen to be the next 'Receiver of memories', and Katniss was chosen (well, technically she volunteered) and she was the only female Tribute from district 12. You could also say that she was the only female tribute to ever win the games as well. Both lead characters (Jonas, Katniss) have a sister (Lily, Prim) who are innocent, positive, and are unaware of the horrors of the world. I also just realized just now that Lily and Prim are both the names of flowers, if that counts for anything Well both characters experience horrifying and mind-scarring events. The memories for Jonas, and the killings for Katniss. Both Katniss and Jonas also have a secret that they can't tell the public. 

For differences.. In The Giver, they try to make everything the same. Everything is always in the same pattern, and everything must be done a certain way. In the hunger games, however, in the Capitol uniqueness is promoted and encouraged. Everyone is far from the same in Panem, and even every district has it's own distinct purpose. Another obvious difference is that Katniss is a 16 year old girl, and Jonas is a 12 year old boy.
both are a type of Utopian Society. You would be able to expand on this in details. Hunger Games is Utopian Society because you never get to leave your district. The giver is Utopian Society because they are told what job they will be doing. 
Differences - people do not suffer in the giver. Everyone has plenty to eat. Second item that is similar - is the government kills individuals. The giver they release babies, elderly and those who do not follow the rules. The hunger games - kills and punishes people who do not follow the rules. Then they have the games that kills people from each district. The government rules every-bodies lives in both books.A difference between these two books is feeling and living reality. in the Hunger games, katniss is set off into the wilderness. she is forced to live with physical pain and sometimes loneliness. in the giver, jonas is asigned to recieve and take with him dreams containing painful memories such as hunger, poverty, and lonelyness.Both are examples of dystopian literature, however they approach it from different side of the coin. 

The Giver presents us with a seemingly utopian society where a community of elders enforces the rule of society to ensure there is no poverty, hunger, etc. That government, however is oppressive in that it does not allow people to live free lives. So in that sense, the striving towards utopia has actually created a dystopian society, though only a few can see that. 

The Hunger Games presents us with the worst possible government, oppressive and destructive. There is no illusion that the government is dictating the rules for the good of the people like in The Giver. Instead, the rules are for the sake of punishment and government control. In The Hunger Games, the majority of people know they live in a horrible society with no hope.

The Giver is written from the point of Jonas, an 11 year old boy, living in a "perfect" society with strict rules. 

Clockwork Prince, the second book in the Infernal Devices series, is about a girl named Tessa who moved to London in the 1800s and had her whole life turned upside down. 

These stories are quite different.  We can see this by looking at the government structure as it's where all rules in the society are created. The Shadowhunters in the Infernal Devices series have a Consul who is similar to the head of the government and an Inquisitor who is like a secretary. The Giver has a committee where people debate certain rules. The rules are quite different too, as the Shadowhunters are warriors who have to protect the human world from the demon world and deal with Downworlders (Warlocks, Vampires, Werewolfs, Faries) and need to notify the Clave (government) whenever they go on a mission or see anything that is violating the laws. They live in an institute most of the families are living in institutes and their children are encouraged to go to an institute in a different country for a year when they turn 18. Just like in modern society there can be, and there is, corruption.  ]]> 2017-05-18 07:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_harkin/xtd5md1zo1um/wish/172501938 https://padlet.com/sarah_harkin/xtd5md1zo1um/wish/172502125 compare you dystopian novel to the giver
