Now to Reflector, the reflector thinks that over time Jonas will get more memories and he would be closer to Fiona. At some point, he will change the whole community, too. Over time, the story will be more intense and more dramatic because he’s going to experience things that nobody in the community have ever done.  At this moment, the reflector remembered when he first move to a new school and his old friends started to change and that happened exactly like Jonas and Asher when they argue while they’re playing the game of war. Throughout the story, Jonas began to have a different behavior and now he’s becoming more independent. Based on the reflector’s idea, if Jonas doesn’t change the community, he wouldn’t able to handle the pain example like the Receiver (Rosemary). Between chapters 17-19, the reflector got confused where Rosemary had all the good memories and Jonas have to suffer both good and bad. It also makes the reflector feels like best friends forever doesn’t exist in this community because of Asher arguing with Jonas.

1. Do you think that there is a different reason as to why there was an unscheduled holiday? Why?

My groups thinks that it’s just a day where the government set up for citizen to rest on be ready on it.

2. Do you think that the other children will start to pull away and treat Jonas differently after what happened in their game? If so, why?

I think that they don’t because Jonas is the Receiver so he should earn respect.

3. Do you think Lily like the idea of becoming a Storyteller?

She haven’t really thinking to be in it and also doesn’t like that role, too.

4. Do you think Jonas is a bit uneasy and frightened after he heard what happened to the previous receiver-in-training? If so, why?

Nope cause he learn from experience that he have to handle the memories.

5. Do you think Jonas would apply for a release if there wasn’t a rule saying that he couldn’t?

He wouldn’t asked to release, he enjoy job to be a Receiver and he is smart enough to think of what he do.

1)  In the beginning of chapter 14, what type of pain did Jonas received in his first memory?

2) Why some days did Jonas get sent away while at his daily training?

3) Who is that female name Larissa?

4) What was Jonas’ memory beside snow?

5) What did Jonas lie about?

1) What make Jonas frightened? Why did his breath and the touch of his hand turn cold?

2) After the dream, what did Jonas want to know?

3) What happen in Jonas memory of snow?

4) What object was in the part that has the color of red?

5)  Did Lily know that the hippo is an elephant?

Enjoy it guys!!!

In page 34, when Jonas had a dream about Lily play against the rule, riding on the bicycle and got caught by the security guard. That was my connection of when i dream about my brother riding on a motorcycle outside the street for hours and he suddenly got caught by the police. He was terrifying and sweat out of pants but he got pass and he went home. On page 41, when  Lily and Jonas conversation about Jonas’ Twelve Of Ceremony, that was connected to me and my brother while we were conversation about my brother’s graduation at California. Last on the Page 45 when Jonas’ parent sit on as the audience while Jonas graduate his Twelve of Ceremony. That was like me while i’m the third grade and i was worried that i’m i going to success or i will fail. My conclusion is that i was amaze on through chapter 5 to 7, i have a really same connection between me and Jonas. Thanks for watching .
