1. When I was a small kids I was always afraid of being in a big Ceremony. So when I was 7 years old I got called up stage for something I don’t remember.It was really scary to stand infront of alot of people. Just like how Jonas was nervous because he was skipped by the Elders.

2. The place that I can compared this chapter to Ais because we usually have ceremony at the end of the year.

3.I can compared Jonas in this chapter with Katniss from the HUger Game because they were both in a huge ceremony to be selected.

4. Jerry Spinelli because he write books about journeys and things that make the reader suprise.

5. THis chapter and the chapter before talks mainly about the Ceremony of Twelves.

1. The part where the kids were playing a battle by imagination makes a really great connection to my own life playing Captain of Flag with my family.

2. The parts where Jonas doesn’t take pills anymore make a connection to me too because when I’m sick at home I don’t take medicine so this part make connection to me.

4. The author that rights the type of writing like Lois Lowry is Jerry Spinelli because they both write books for childrens and but lot of cool adventures and journeys in the books .

5. This sectioni is relate to the other section that came before is that they talk about Jonas and Asher friendship in this chapter and others chapter that came before too.

What connection I can make to my own life ?
– The part where Jonas’s sister recived her bycicle when she was 9 years old. This part made a very strong connection to my life because I was always wanted a bycicle when I was 6 but my parents told me that having a bycicle at this age was alittle bit too young for me. On my birthday every year I always asked them “when can I get a bike ?” but they said that I was too young. But, when I reaches my 9th birthday I did recieved a bike from my parents. The the best part is they spend their day to teach my how to ride a bike. But it’s was really hard so I gave up for a few month but later I started to like bicycle so I asked them to teach me how to ride a bike. Time past and now I know how to ride a bike by my own.

– I think Disneyland is a great answer for places that I can compared to this story because Disnayland was like a perfect world. Everything was happy and joyful in Disneyland. There were lots of games and roller coaster which is the coolest things for any age. I love to go to Disneyland because they have eveything inside it example for games,roller coaster,food and alots more. Disneyland was perfect.

What other character have I read about that compare witth the ones froms this book ?
– The soilders would be a great character to compared to Jonas in this story , because the soilders back then they help to fight back and protect Vietnam so I think they both have the idea of changing the world. The soilders want to fight back to protect the world from invaders from different countries.
