What is differences and similarities between Jonas and The Giver!!????

I think that one of the reasons that Jonas has such an
effect on The Giver is because they do have a lot in common.  The obvious similarities
are that they both have pale eyes and the Capacity to See Beyond, or special powers. 
The Giver hears music while Jonas sees color, but both are abilities associated with
emotional expression.  Both of them also believe that the people in the community are
perpetuating a terrible and unjust system.

The main
difference between the two is age and experience.  The Giver is old, and has had a life
of pain and suffering both physical and emotional.  For years, he has held the
community’s memories and watched the people continue to live numb lives.  He knows that
it’s wrong, but he does not take action- until Jonas spurs him
on.

Jonas is as young and naïve as The Giver is old and
jaded.  He refuses to accept things the way they are once he learns the truth about the
dark side of the community, and he takes action.

Both The
Giver and Jonas are brave, because Jonas risks death by trying to escape and The Giver
knows that he will suffer when Jonas’s memories are released back to the
community.
