..."The community of The Giver had achieved at such a great price. A community without danger or pain. But also a community without music, color or art. And books." Lois Lowry once said this. She is saying how the community of “"The Giver"” can be reached but everyone would have to give up books, art, music, and color. Music and color played a big role in both "The Giver" movie and novel. These elements in the movie and book are different and they have an impact on the story of "The Giver" in both the film and novel. "The Giver" book and movie are different because the music in the movie add more of a connection with the story and finding out about the loss of color in the film so soon takes away the insatiable feeling the reader gets in the beginning of the book....

...THE GIVER Lois Lowry ← Plot Overview → The giver is written from the point of view of Jonas, an eleven-year-old boy living in a futuristic society that has eliminated all pain, fear, war, and hatred. There is no prejudice, since everyone looks and acts basically the same, and there is very little competition. Everyone is unfailingly polite. The society has also eliminated choice: at age twelve every member of the community is assigned a job based on his or her abilities and interests. Citizens can apply for and be assigned compatible spouses, and each couple is assigned exactly two children each. The children are born to Birthmothers, who never see them, and spend their first year in a Nurturing Center with other babies, or “newchildren,” born that year. When their children are grown, family units dissolve and adults live together with Childless Adults until they are too old to function in the society. Then they spend their last years being cared for in the House of the Old until they are finally “released” from the society. In the community, release is death, but it is never described that way; most people think that after release, flawed newchildren and joyful elderly people are welcomed into the vast expanse of Elsewhere that surrounds the communities. Citizens who break rules or fail to adapt properly to the society’s codes of behavior are also released, though in their cases it is an occasion of great shame. Everything is planned and organized so that life is as convenient...

...An Analysis of The Giver Jonas lives in a utopian society, where there are no colors, feelings, or freedom. Slowly, he starts to notice the faults in the society, and rebels against it with the giver, his mentor, when a baby his family has been taking care of, Gabriel, is going to be killed. The story “ The Giver”, uses Gabriel as a symbol of hope for Jonas. Gabriel the new child , is pure as he hasn't been tarnished by the community, because he is too young for the discipline wand, and rules. He cannot adapt to the nurturing centre, and is brought to Jonas’ home. They are to not become attached to him “ Each family member, including Lily, had been required to sign a pledge that they would not become attached to this little temporary guest, and that they would relinquish him without protest or appeal she he was assigned to his own family unit at next year’s ceremony”(Lowry 54). Regardless, Jonas becomes attached. Jonas is introduced to feelings of love by Gabriel, “He wept because he was afraid now that he could not save Gabriel. He no longer cared about himself” (Lowry 218). Being unable to sleep at night, Jonas gives Gabriel memories to calm him down, “He was not aware of giving the memory; but suddenly he realised that it was becoming dimmer, that it...

...“The Giver” Literary Analysis In life, people find that memories are a benefit, yet it somehow contains cons. Like societies in the novel The Giver, a fiction novel wrote by Lois Lowry, it explained that memories can provide wisdom and experience for situations. This theme is expressed in many ways such as figurative language and diction. Memories are needed in society so that people can learn from their experience. Recalling to the texts, Lowry uses her figurative language to give context clues of the theme. Doing that, she uses simile and imagery to hide the theme. For instance, using simile, a group of visitors from another community broke a few rules who upsetted the fair-playing Lily. “She shook her head. ‘I don’t know. They acted like…...

...2014 Grand Canyon University Online Instructor: Robin Johnston NRS_429V Abstract What is VARK questionnaire? Can it help a person in their daily life? Can it define a person with this simple analysis? The acronym for VARK stands for visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic and it was created by Neil Fleming. Neil Fleming designed this questionnaire so the people can come to understand their learning styles (Fleming, 2001-2011). This is a way of testing to see an individual’s behavior in learning. It is a preference to a particular learning style and how one encounters study habits. Nelly took the sixteen questioner to see if her preference of learning strategies coincide with what was identified strategies by the VARK questionnaire. The personal learning profile score results were: Visual-7, Aural- 12, Read/Write-10, Kinesthetic -11. Vark Learning Style There are four different styles that VARK composed. In each it has its own meaning and technique in learning strategies. Depending on the individual, it forms a sense of communication to the brain to intake information to comprehend things better. According to Neil Flemings’s VARK Questionnaire four learning styles, visual learners prefer to see things as a whole, such as pictures, charts, graphs, books with diagrams, color highlighting or underlining in books in order to study. Visual learners will process all the information taken in and construct the images in a different way to understand the concept. Aural learners...

...Business Ethics Final Paper – Reverse Discrimination Reverse Discrimination is an issue that has come about in the work force today. “The law allows employers to discriminate among employees as long as the ground for discrimination are job-related, fair, and objective (242).” For example, “employers can promote a male employee over a female employee as long as the male is more qualified, the family has had an equal opportunity to qualify, and the standards for qualifications are fair and objective.” Although the law does provide equality between different employees, there are still some cases that rule that they are victims of reverse discrimination. This is shown in the case against firefighters and the City of New Haven. Firefighters in New Haven, Connecticut believe that they have been discriminated against. In June of 2009, the United States Supreme court rule that the City of New Haven had indeed discriminated against this group of firefighters who were not qualified for promotions. During this exam, “twenty firefighters, nineteen white and one Hispanic,” were denied the promotions and believed that they were victims of reverse discrimination (242). This exam examined that white exam takers were the most qualified firefighters. By a 5-4 vote, the U.S Supreme court did agree that these firefighters were victims of reverse discrimination. As an ethical person in this case study, I would have set up this exam completely different than they did. The results in the late...

...United Colors of Benetton promoted themselves when they had Oliviero Toscani hired as their marketing director. Toscani was known for his controversial advertising campaigns for Benetton from 1982-2000. In my study I do an advertising analysis on one of the most famous advertising from Benetton: “The Priest and the Nun”. Toscanis success came because now more than ever we live in a society driven by image. Every day we buy less and less product and more and more image. Toscanis idea was very simple. He took a powerful image, stamped the UCOB logo in a corner, and then you have it. A successful advertising. Benetton’s gained success because their advertisings are not related to their products. It is images of social problems around the world. With a huge increased sale Benetton showed the world, that it could be worthwhile to be political as a company. Especially when we are talking about marketing! Indholdsfortegnelse Benneton som virksomhed 1 Reklame analyse 4 Konklusion 6 Kilder 7 Jeg har valgt at tage udgangspunkt i tøjproducenten United Colors of Benetton.

...good communicator needs to be aware of these styles. The ability to effectively manage differences continues to baffle many, as illustrated in numerous current events. The ability to identify different communication styles and to understand one’s own communication style could be a very beneficial tool. O’Neil and Hansten (2009) described three different styles of communicating; passive, aggressive and assertive and/or a combination of styles, such as, passive-aggressive. By using three separate scenarios, O’Neil and Hansten (2009), successfully illustrated the differences of each. This paper will analyze each of these scenarios; while identifying the style or styles of the communication utilized. The author will also apply the same analysis, with an experience of her own. She will identify the communication styles used, as well as the strategies utilized and how this affected the outcome of the scenario. Lastly, she will discuss the importance of effective communication in the health care profession. The first scenario discussed by O’Neil and Hansten (2009), took place at a team meeting, in a psychiatric group home. The involved parties were Rashad, an aide...

...Helping Hands Child Care Assignment #2 Feasibility Study Executive Summary Statistics Canada released figures that named Saskatoon as the fastest growing metropolitan area in Canada along with having the youngest median age. Finding quality care for your child during those vital, formative years is one of the biggest challenges you'll face as a parent. 90% of a child's brain develops before kindergarten. It's important to find a care giver who provides the loving, fun, interactive care their precious child's brain needs. Helping Hands Child Care has been formed to provide quality licensed daycare to families in Saskatoon, providing a safe and healthy environment for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old to learn and grow. The small atmosphere of Helping Hands Child Care will provide a home-like, stable setting, which is crucial to children at this stage in their life. Caring for fewer children allows for more one on one attention than is typically possible in a center-based childcare facility. In Saskatchewan, only not-for-profit centres are eligible for public funding of any kind. There are usually no (or very few) for-profit centres. There is a large market for licensed home day cares, as there is a centre-based space available for only 10.5% of children aged 0-5 years and only a regulated space for only 7.2% of children aged 0-12 years in Saskatchewan. Canadian women are on a slippery slope. Although the majority of women with children are in the paid labour force...
