His reflections are positive because he changes and learns stuff about how the world really is and the difference between the real world and what he was told.

# data[].attributes.body
The first time we met Jonas we saw that he was a shy kid but now we know that he is very brave person and puts himself at risk just to save his community. So that shows us how incredibly brave he is.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has changed a lot since the begging, my opinon he has become more complex. because he misses his old life before he was the reciver.

# data[].attributes.body
He's changed in a positive way because he is able to make choices witch helped him succeed

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has changed a lot since the beginning of the book he went from being shy and quiet to now being out going, curious, bravery, and hardworking. Jonas had changed in a positive way because when he wanted to know about the memories and when he found out the truth about it he felt really sorry for every one that doesn't get to explore all of those experiences so I think that he looked up to his friends and the Giver to help him over come his feeling of being shy.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has changed a lot At first he was honest and told his parents everything. He changed in a negative way because he saw the reality of the community he was living in and he also saw all of the fun others were having he also had to see what pain was and feel what it was. Now Jonas is very smart and caring and he also is very kind he changed in a positive way and in a negative way because he saw what the world had to offer outside of his community and so I think that made him a little apprehensive and one that doesn't think anyone is telling him the truth.

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning he was very obedient and didn't ask questions, he just did what he was told and now he is always asking questions and is very curious.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas used to be a rule follower and was scared of breaking the rules. But at the end of the story he kidnapped Gabriel and stole things. Then he ran away from the community. He went from thinking everything was okay, then feeling like his whole world was falling apart.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has changed to have a gloomy outlook on the community, knowing all the horrors it really has by looking at it with emotion. It can both be positive and negative, being angry but caring, all this is caused by the job.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas went from following the rules to stealing,lieing, and abduction a child.

# data[].attributes.body
This is way too simplified, but I say that Jonas has changed due to his knowledge of the truth, he has went from being a happy innocent unknowing person to a tough determined person who would give his life to keep Gabriel safe.

# data[].attributes.body
Hes just confused

# data[].attributes.body
He was happy then he was not because he knew the truth.

# data[].attributes.body
He realizes that his community is really really bad and he attempts to find another

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has become scarred from the memories and become more distant from people in the community (beside The Giver). I think they're positive. I know because it also makes him want to help them know the things he does.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has become shock at the end of the book because of all the things he learns about the secrets of the community.

# data[].attributes.body
He change and he was different because jonas is the new recever

# data[].attributes.body
Earlier in the book Jonas was very frightend and now he is stronger and not really scared. Jonas was scared of his community because they killed babies and released old people because they were useless.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the changes in Jonas are positive because he is way more brave, confident and strong.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas's change was positive because he realized that he needed to save the community. He saved Gabriel from being released. Jonas was trying to save the town from being empty.

# data[].attributes.body
Earlier in the story, Jonas thinks his community knows what they are doing. Later in the book, Jona finds out people kill babies and old people for realese when they don’t even know what death is. Jonas now knows that his community does not know anything about the past or about important memories.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the changes that were made of Jonas of when we first met him and now are good and bad. Jonas on the good side is much more knowledgeable and mature while on the bad side, he is much less happier and has more fear of things to come.

# data[].attributes.body
Since the beginning of the novel, Jonas has changed from being opinion-less about normal life to now making risky decisions for the greater good. He now has knowledge of memories and knows things that the rest of the Community does not. I think these changes are positive because he is trying to save Gabe and can try to have a better life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the changes in Jonas are both good and bad, because he is greatly honored, and he has more knowledge, but he also starts to question life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that his changes have been positive because he has gotten a lot more responsibility and He has gotten smarter. This is because he has grown up he got his job.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has changed in a lot of ways from the beginning of the novel. In the beginning, Jonas was a shy and curious person, and even though he hasn’t lost that curiosity instead of being shy he is now mad. He is mad about the colors, about what release is, and how he and The Giver are the only ones who know. I believe that this change is both positive and negative. The positive side is that now Jonas isn’t completely clueless, but this could also be negative because now Jonas knows and experiences pain.

# data[].attributes.body
Instead of Jonas staying curious about what is going on in the community he goes out and tries to figure it out himself or with The Giver. These changes are good because it leads him to leave the community and see the world without sameness.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has become more fearful as he escaped with Gabriel. These changes are negative as being in constant fear is not healthy, I know this because being fearful of your safety all the time can change the way you act and change the way you think.

# data[].attributes.body
The changes Jonas put into the book are very high; he's way more mature then he was in the starting of the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Some ways that Jonas from when we first met him are that he became way less innocent with all of his new knowledge of the world, he became more self reliant because of him not being allowed to share anything with his family unit, and he became less trusting because of him figuring out that the government and the people around him lie often. I think that the changes that we see in Jonas are positive because it helps him know who he can truly rely on and know more about what really happened in his community. It also allowed him to survive when he was out by himself because he wouldn’t know what to do without the harsh past memories or him learning becoming less reliant on the people around him.

# data[].attributes.body
The changes where better because He was more confident During the end Of the book

# data[].attributes.body
The changes were positive because Jonas started to realize something needed to get done after he saw the release. I know this because Jonas and The Giver made a plan to help the community change.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has changed in positive ways because he understands that the government is tricking him and he becomes more dynamic than the rest of his town instead of not just being part of the sameness and not trying to change things.

# data[].attributes.body
at first Jonas was honest but now he is sneaky and a lair

# data[].attributes.body
He becomes more of his own person and is more outgoing. And this is a very positive change because without this change he would not have left.

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of the book jonas was  innocent and more caring at the end he was  less caring.

# data[].attributes.body
When we first met Jonas, he was more innocent and caring for his family. However, Jonas now is not that caring towards his family, as they do not truly love Jonas and care for him. Also, he knows what his father has done and realized that nobody has feelings except for him and The Giver.

# data[].attributes.body
The changes are a positive because Jonas is now learning to stick up for the community even if it means breaking the rules. I know this because Jonas is leaving the community to try and find Elsewhere to save the community.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas changed in a negative way. He saw the reality of his community, the games, the release, and more. When he found about release, he broke and wanted to leave his community. He left with no plans on returning.

# data[].attributes.body
My reflection is that Jonas has changed from the beginning which was just like everyone else following the rules and eating what they are told to eat. And yes the changes in Jonas were positive by him doing what he needs to and Jonas saving everyone “basically”. I know this from Jonas leaving the dwelling and taking little gabe with him.

# data[].attributes.body
At first Jonas was at first curious but now senses he know everything and is escaping. Jonas is determined to escape  with Gabriel and find the community they always wanted to live in.

# data[].attributes.headline
i think Jonas is not making a good choice because what he is doing could impact on him.

# data[].attributes.subject
i think Jonas is not making a good choice because what he is doing could impact on him.

# data[].attributes.body
He change a lot because he was weak now he is powerful

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas choices are bad because they could die

# data[].attributes.body
I think the choices Jonas are making are negative because it can have a impact on him.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has changed in a negative way because he's kinda depressed in a way because of everything he's found out and how his community has brainwashed all of them and how all of them don’t know what's going on and how much wrong they're doing.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has changed to being positive happy and funny to being sneaky mad and hopeless.

# data[].attributes.body
At the start of the book jonas seemed very positive about his town. But after ta;lking with the giver he found out a lot of dark secrets about the town.

# data[].attributes.body
He was young and he saw a jet and they release him and then he was twelve and he got his job and he got resever and he met the giver he has been with him for a year he leaned what release means and he saw a baby get release.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has changed from when we first met him because now he feels more emotions and more angry at the community. He’s angry at the community for ending up killing a baby twin just because they look the same. He also learns the emotion of love when he has the memory of Christmas. His changes are positive because he ends up saving Gabriel from being released because Gabriel doesn’t die at the end of the book. Jonas changes by getting more emotions and ends up doing the right thing and saving Gabriel.

# data[].attributes.body
Negative, I think this is because Jonas starts to mock the Giver(which definitely counts as bad talk) and he was talking about Lily getting into trouble about her bad talk.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the changes we see in Jonas as the story progresses are negative because if is thinking less about others and more of himself.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, when we first started this novel, I wrote that he was hard-working, honest, and gentle. That was true but as the story went on and Jonas got the memories, he started learning some terrible things that changed the way he was. Now I see him as still hard-working but also courageous, Moody, and a little Lonely. You might be thinking, this must be a bad book if the main character was an angel and then he turned into this but it’s more than that. So before, he was so sweet and innocent because he didn’t  have feelings or memories so he was basically a NPC but as time went on, he had to started being moody after realizing what the elders were keeping from him and everyone else in the community. Also, because of his knowledge, people didn’t understand why he was like that so he started becoming lonely, and finally, in order to finally help the community, he had to be brave and flee the community by himself to return the memories back to the people.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas changed from a simple pleasant child to a person who has deep thought and has memories of painful things. He changed so much he had said words his family unit said was imprecise language even though it was a feeling they could not feel or comprehend.

# data[].attributes.body
Some changes that I see in Jonas is that he has seen things to be more complicated ever since he became the new Receiver of Memory. An example is that he and his friends would play a game together and they would pretend to shoot and kill each other, but after the Giver gave Jonas the war memory, he told his friends to never play the game again. These changes in Jonas are positive and negative because Jonas needed to see things the way they should be, but it has put a lot of weight on his shoulders.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has changed by at first being open and shy but now hes sneaky and lies.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas is smarter now because he learned a lot of new things as the memory receiver

# data[].attributes.body
Thinking over the novel, I think that Jonas has changed quite a bit at the begging of the novel Jonas was shy and now he is taking risks and leaving the community to go and find else where.

# data[].attributes.body
I think most changes that we see are positive because he is coming to relisations. And he has also become a normal person like us. He has feelings and relationships with other people.

# data[].attributes.body
At the start of the book i thought that Jonas was just a good kid who loved to play outside when he had free time. And the changes are positive for the most part till the end of the book when his dad told him that they had to release his little bother then he had to take matters in to his own hands

# data[].attributes.body
i think Jonas has changed in a positive way and he is smart brave and has courage he used to be a nervous person and he has grown from that

# data[].attributes.body
The changes are he used to be a kid that would just go out and play and not work and not spend his volunteer hours working he would just be out playing with Asher but now he is always working day and night. These changes are very positive.

# data[].attributes.body
His thoughts change by getting less scared and more comfortable even though there are a few times he has fear rushing through out him. The changes we see in Jonas are positive and I guess there is a little bit negative when he gets scared.

# data[].attributes.body
Janos in the begins he was just a normal kid but then so one in the book and janos life he has changed he became smart fearless brave.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has changed a lot since chapter 1. He is now more known to the things he is missing out on in life and despises it. He was more shy, and things like that but now knowing these things; Release, snow, love, etc. He changed. He has turned into this brave, smart, and concerned person.

# data[].attributes.body
When I first met Jonas he was just a ordinary kid that was having a good life in his community, Jonas has changed dramatically from shy to brave and outgoing he is a warrior making it with Gabe all the way up that sled hill. I think Jonas has learned alot.

# data[].attributes.body
Jonas has become braver, wiser, and smarter. He cares about people and wants to make good choices.

# data[].attributes.body
At the start of the book Jonas was very kind and caring for others which is why he got chose to be the receiver of memory. He was always kind to his parents, Lucy, and his friends Fiona and Asher. But now hes been more selfish and trying to find this new place.

# data[].attributes.body
I would think that they are positive because hes changed sinse he got his job at the ceremony of 12. He is more outgoing and more spoken up to the point where he says what he thinks and is not discouraged by it. Hes learning new things about how things are very important to him and other people.

# data[].attributes.body
At the start of the book, Jonas seems like a nice kid with lots of friends that is always happy, but as you read the book more and more his mood keeps getting worse and worse. As he learns about all these new things he learns his community is a terrible place and he try's to fix it.

# data[].attributes.body
His changes are positive because he has gotten nicer and nicer throughout the book. And Jonas just really seems to like to be nice to others and it seems like he likes his training so far with the elder receiver of memory.

# data[].attributes.body
I think some ways jonas has changed is that he is not as scared as he used to be. Getting chosen as the reciever changed him. And knowing how everything in the community is I think really opened his eyes and made him realize his community is corrupt.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Jonas has changed a lot, in a good way.  At the start Jonas was clueless and just was a kid.  He had fun with his friends and he thought his town was good and normal.  Now that Jonas has been in training for a year I think has learned a lot.  This has made him change and he has been through a lot.  I think after all of the bad memories, and happy ones, he has become more brave.  I also think he has realized how odd his town is and that he needed to leave.

# data[].attributes.body
He didn’t know anything at the start of the book but now he is independent and knows everything. The changes are positive because he knows what a release is and now he can run away.

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter 15 of the giver, on page:151

Jonas says that he knew that he could not stand watching the memories.

In the book the giver chapter 16 Pg: 152

Jonas asks why so much pain and he starts to wonder why he can't be released and wants to get back to his childhood.

When Jonas was going through all of this pain he was reconsidering being the memory keeper and being in his childhood.

Jonas went from being all nice and positive to being weirded out by the community and keeping secrets from the giver. I know this because in the book the giver, Jonas says that he has a secret that he is keeping from the giver.

# data[].attributes.body
The changes we see in Jonas are positive. I know this because he is changing to become more mature and knowing that he is learning that choice is important and not just a decision to find out what is going to happen.

# data[].attributes.body
Thinking over the novel, I think that Jonas has changed quite a bit. He was concerned and hesitant, also nervous.  Now Jonas is brave, smart, still concerned, strong, and understanding. Some can be negative as well, he has come more private and anxious, and worried. He had become nervous because he and the Giver decided to make an escape plan for Jonas. He has had to be more independent and aware of his surroundings while he is learning more things about the receiver of memory.

# data[].attributes.body
When I first met Jonas he was a very quiet and friendly kid.. But as the book went on he started to act braver and had more courage. The changes we see in Jonas are positive because he started to stand up for what was right. I know this because he decided to leave the town so that he could find Elsewhere and be safe.

# data[].attributes.body
When I first met Jonas I thought he was just a know it all, stupid, scrawny, little rule follower. But now I still do not like him, but I think he somewhat change and became smarter an braver and a more likable character. But during the story he became more brave and strong mentally and physically, he has more tougher skin now, since he knows death and pain and that stuff.

# data[].attributes.body
He was young and he saw a jet and they release him and then he was twelve and he got his job and he got resever and he met the giver he has been with him for a year he leaned what release means and he saw a baby get release.

# data[].attributes.body
When I first met Jonas I thought of him as a kind, nice, friendly, little scared person and now I see Jonas more of the do right things, treat people how you want to be treated, adventures and very Caring. I see positive changes in Jonas hes a great person and I would like to read more about him and his life. I know because of all the decisions he has made to help around the community and the people.
