One of the differences is that in Jonas’s world there are no animals. In his world there are mystical creatures but to us there are every day being. In Jonas’s world they get animals dolls that they don’t know that they are real creatures. Both worlds have animal doll to keep kids comfort. Another difference is that there no such things as cars in Jonas’s world. In Jonas’s community there are no cars everyone rides bikes. Getting a bike at nine years old to them is like getting our drivers license at 16 years old to us. Imagine no cars at all, just everyone riding a bike, “the nines,” the adults, the elders. No sound of a motor, no sound of wheels skidding on the street. Most of the world could not live without a car, as it supports our every day lives and transports us to where we need to be quickly. A similarity between both worlds is that people do eventually die. Both worlds share that everyone does have be put to rest sooner or later. In Jonas’s world it is one of the few times when being released that it is not a punishment. Our world people die if they are sick, wounded, and elderly or killed in action. These are just a few of the ways people in our world die. And this is just one of not many the two worlds have in common. The next difference of the two worlds is crime. Jonas’s world has no crime at all. Life is organized, they get their assignment when they are 12 and they do not have much time to get all bad, because most kids in our world get into crime during high school, so Jonas’s world gets them a job before they get to high school which they don’t even have. They get them all straightened up to follow the rules and not brake them. In our world kids do not listen to rules very well and that’s what gets them into crime and drugs which Jonas’s world also does not have. People that commit crime are all different ages because they all have their own individual birthdays. In Jonas’s world there is a two day ceremony for all the kids up to 12 years old. The ceremony is in December and is like everyone’s birthday all in two days. Once you pass the 12’s ceremony you are an adult and no one keeps track of your age anymore. Of course in our world we all have different birthdays and celebrate them at different times. WE all keep track of our age and do not forget it. Our age is important for many things. It can help us be able to go on rides, and to be able to drive a car and things like that. The next thing is we have the joy to be able to see in color. We all see in color, even though some get colors mixed up. Jonas will be The Giver and the only one who gets to see in color. Everyone in his community sees in black and white like a dog. We have to sort out color to accomplish a lot of our tasks, as making a banner, making hats, and if we didn’t see in color yes it would be a lot easier to pain and do all the other things. So Jonas’s world has them a disadvantage advantage. Those are a few of the differences in the two worlds that make thinking about living somewhere else a lot more tempting to try.
