My reading class has to read the giver for reading. Well the boy Jonas is a little bit like Neo. He can see past things, things people can't see. He can see things change and can change things, but other people can't. When I said it was like the Matrix some people agreed with me. What do you think.

It's really weird I'd say a quarter to half of the class agreed with me. I think Jonas is like Neo and the Elders are like agent Smiths.

I've read the book before, but that might be the only thing I can compare between the giver and the matrix. Besides the dude being able to see things and stuff that others can't, I see no other things that compare the giver and the matrix together.

Yeah, it kind of relates.

Jonas as Neo
Elders as Agents
The Giver as the Machine Mainframe
Community Members as Zion Inhabitants

The Giver and Jonas are trying to hide memories of the real world which is ElseWhere.

Our class just completed it the day before yesterday and it was a VERY good book.

One thing that's buggin' me though is what happened to Jonas and Gabriel?

Thank you Arrakis. See someone sees. I read it for my class with a small group and we see it. I even joked around with my friends saying that I will make a story called the Givertrix. It will be like the Giver and the Matrix. It will be a 3 part story. Like Jonas finds out that he's the one. Then he develops the powers. And then the last fight. It will be like a novelty story. It will be called The Giver, The Giver Reloaded, and Giver Revelutions. My friends think its funny.

I don't know if it would work because we don't know if Jonas even made it to Elsewhere or not. I think he and Gabriel died and just saw some hullucinations of a town. It would work if the events in the Giver didn't happen. . .

What do ya'll think?
