Everyone did there job and answer all the question that the DD have. Lily did a pretty good as a Connector. she’s write about the time where she’s went to Nha Be

Everyone get their memories back and Jonas instead of going back, he travel to find other thing.

2.When i read this section i feel sorry for the kid that got release by the father. I also feel very angry and sad for her too.

3. I think that his father should get arrested for murdering the children and Jonas should calm down instead of panicking.

4. Jonas, he’s a a very calm boy in the beginning of the book, and then after receiving the memories, his personality change a lot.

5.The big ideas in this chapter that explain Jonas what is releasing like and what is it look like.

Reflector Week 1 Group 9

1. I predict that in the rest of the story, Jonas will get questions by his parent and get a detention. So he decide to broke out of the window and flee away. He’s run and run until he’s see a strange looking house and he’s went in. He’s start wandering around the house to explore. Then he’s heard a voice come from behind him. It’s just an old timer that know a lot. The old timer lead Jonas to a different world. A world where no rules just like his. Everyone was doing what they want, playing, studying and other. He’s was fascinating about the world that different from his. He’s start to run around explore a little bit. He’s like it here but then after that day he’s travel back to his place. He’s suprise how he got home but he’s keep the secret that he’s can travel through two different world. Every single day he’s went back to that wonderful place and gone home. slowly his emotion got more active that make his parent worries. His parent notice Jonas been acting strange lately so they called the government to have a meeting with him. They have a talk for a little bit. They ask Jonas a lot of question and decide to put him in prison. Jonas refuse and broke out. He’s the first one that on the wanted list since a long time. He’s run and run to find help. He’s can’t trust his parent or friend but the only one who he’s trust is the old timer. Jonas run to the strange house and ask the old man. The old guy told him that he’s have to find his real father who’s have been in prison for a couple and year. He’s have to free his father to get back the freedom that he would imagine. So he’s rescue his father and restore the country.

2. The mood of the story is very excited, that make you want to read more. The tone of the story is very confusing.

3. I immediately think that the story would be more action and more battling.

4. Jonas, he’s start questioning more and more thing than before. Like when he’s question his sister’s.

5. The big idea is the Giver which is Jonas(In my opinion) is give everyone freedom and utopia.

6. The text make me feel angry because people have to follow the rule that seem very wrong. They could have their freedom and do whatever they want. But they have to follow the government rule.

7. The conclusion maybe in the end Jonas would be the leader and everyone follow his rule which is the opposite of his government old rules.
