Jonas Vs Truman

Jonas Vs Truman


The Reason I compare the similarities and differences of Jonas and Truman is because they both have some thing in common. When I compare them I categorized the Clues, plot and Emotions. These subjects are the major things in Jonas Vs Truman.


In both the Truman show and the giver, both of the movie and the book they both give clues. In both Truman and Jonas’ world they both have a similar starting clue, like the plane going in the wrong area and for Truman the light falling from the sky. There are many more similarities in both of their community; the other ones are that the committee wants them to stay. In both world and dome they have climate control, they control when it rains, the sun comes up and goes down. When Jonas and Truman grew older they started to ask more questions, which is making Jonas’ community and Truman’s Director worried. They got curious and found out what the community was really doing. Both communities are lying to them and are hypocrites. Both Jonas and Truman choose to leave but they don’t know where their going.
The differences about the clues are that Truman gets more clues than Jonas. Also Jonas is allowed to go anywhere in the world he wants, but Truman is trapped in a dome. The Truman has vehicles unlike Jonas world. Jonas is younger than Truman. Truman also gets more clues, like the elevator incident and when he see his dad, that he thought is dead but really isn’t and when his wife crosses her finger in the wedding photo.

For emotions there weren’t many things to mention or compare, but there were a few. They both have to be happy all the time, even the people in both committees have to be happy. Jonas and Truman experienced love in their life.
For the differences Jonas is not allowed to have stirrings, nor is anyone in his community allowed to have stirrings. Unlike Jonas, Truman is allowed to have the stirrings, what I mean by stirrings is love, intercourse and feelings for other people.



The last comparison group is plot, what I mean by plot is that Plan to Leave and the area where they live. The similarities of the plot are that they are both trying to leave to leave, but there are many difficult obstacles or blocks. They don’t stop trying to leave, they keep going. They are both control by someone and they were both born and brought up different from our world.
The differences are that the both go through different blocks. Everyone knows that Truman is leaving but they don’t know that Jonas is leaving. Jonas Community is controlled by the elders, but Truman’s community is controlled by the technicians and Director.

So I basically told you the similarities and differences of Jonas and Truman. The other reason I compared them is because they are similar and different in both our world and theirs.
