In The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe, the characters Lucy, Peter, Susan, and Edmond discover Narnia.  It's a land full of talking woodland and mythological creatures.   The landscape and scenery are rich with colors.  The Giver is perhaps the exact opposite.

The world that is described in The Giver is a place that has no color and the landscape is flat, no hills or valleys whatsoever.   The biggest thing that happens there is a ceremony that happens once a year. Humans are the only living things; they don't even have any animals. 

 When the Pevensie children step through the wardrobe and enter Narnia, they don't know what to think.  They're a little apprehensive and almost scared, but as they travel across the strange land, they come to love Narnia and its creatures. 

Jonas felt the same way when he first discovered color as when the children entered Narnia.  He thought there was something wrong with him when he first started to see color.  Then he met the Giver.  The Giver explained what color was and Jonas was reassured.  He started to learn more about color and soon he enjoyed it more than anything. 

 Many things that were thought to not exist were found.  Jonas discovered there are colors and animals in his world, they were just very far away.  The Pevensie children found that there is another world, it was just only able to be accessed through their wardrobe.   Whether it's on a bike or through a wardrobe, sometimes you just have to go a little farther to find what you're looking for.
