I was surprised at rule 5 because it’s strange that he’s not allowed to share dreams with the family. This will help him achieve his dreams because he has his family with him but the fact that he is not allowed to share it with his family is very odd.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised at Rule number 8 because it negates the previous rules.

# data[].attributes.body
Rule #7 surprised me the most because why would he not be allowed to leave the community. This made me wonder what is going on behind this.

# data[].attributes.body
I think rule #8 was surprising to me (“you may lie”). Why now was he able to lie? Also he created a conspiracy in his mind which I think makes sense; that lots of people could’ve been lying to him for a very long time. And his parents have been acting very suspicious based on the tone of the story; could they be lying or have a plan?

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised by rule number 8 (You can lie). I say this because it very clearly states that lying is prohibited in the community, and they make this very clear, since the time that each kid learns how to talk.

# data[].attributes.body
I find rule #5 most surprising because he isn’t allowed to share his dreams with his family. I think this is weird because it is a requirement to share your feelings and dreams but he doesn’t have to.

# data[].attributes.body
I was most surprised by rule number 8 because lying is prohibited in this community and he is aloud to lie now. What makes him aloud to lie and not everyone else.

# data[].attributes.body
I found rule 8 the most interesting because they’ve been taught from such a young age it was never okay to lie, and that they would be punished if they lied. But now he’s aloud to lie and I wonder why only Jonas is aloud to lie. What does his assignment need to hide so badly that he has to lie?

# data[].attributes.body
I think rule 8 was the most interesting because I’m this community it seems lying is strictly prohibited and saying the truth is the best to stay safe in this community so when rule 8 was about being able to lie it confused me. I also wonder why Jonás would be able to lie, why is lying ok for his assignment?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that rule number 8 was the most shocking to me (you cannot lie). I say that because they were all taught not to lie from a very very young age, then it made him question if other adults lie.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that most surprising rule was rule 8 because it say that jonas was able to lie because usually the community is forbidden from lying and is trained not to lie but Jonas was now able to lie

# data[].attributes.body
I found rule number 8 surprising that they are aloud to lie

# data[].attributes.body
I think rule 7 is the most interesting. I think this because after he says he has never thought to be released and it is really weird that they would have to do that. Maybe like someone did it before. Overall I think that this rule is just a really weird rule.

# data[].attributes.body
I was most surprised by rule number 8. I chose this because in the communication you can not lie. But because Jonas is a receiver that means he can lie?

# data[].attributes.body
Rule number 8 caused the strongest reaction from me out of all of the rules. This is because rule 8 is “You may lie.” This can ruin Jonas’ relationships with his friends and group mates. He can probably get punished for lying and can be really devious about his choices. Jonas was trained not to lie and stocked with that for a long time, so he would have to adapt with the rules he has to follow. And the fact that his other friends and group mates might also get the same rules like lying. Another rule that surprised me was rule number 6, which was not to apply medications. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why the Chief Elder said he’s going to deal with pain.

# data[].attributes.body
Rule number 8 was the most surprising because you learn in the story that the people in the community can’t lie but then Jonas gets this special assignment and now he is allowed to lie.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised and unsettled by rule number 8. This is because everyone in the community have been taught their whole lives not lie and all of a sudden that Jonas has a more important job than others, he gets the advantage to.

# data[].attributes.body
I think rule 8 the one where you can lie is shocking because even though everyone else can not lie and it is bad to do so Jonas can lie.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised at rule number 8 (you can lie) because it is on of the most important rules they have is not to lie so when he now has the power to lie is vary surprising because know one is supposed to lie (as we know of).

# data[].attributes.body
I think number 8 was interesting because you aren’t supposed to lie but if you are the receiver you can lie.

# data[].attributes.body
I picked rule number 8 because if he lies he can get punished and if he lies too much there will be a big punishment

# data[].attributes.body
I found rule 6 very shocking because he can’t apply for any medication that happens during his training I wonder why. Also rule 4 that he can’t tell anyone about his training even his parents. I wonder if Jonas might break any of these rules.

# data[].attributes.body
I find rule #5 most surprising because why would he be prohibited from dream telling if it was a normal/required ritual in daily life? If they prohibit it, does that mean he will get more dreams that were related to the job that he cannot share with his family? Lastly, is his family allowed to know that he can’t share his dreams, or does Jonas always have to lie about not having any dreams when he does dream?

# data[].attributes.body
I found rule 8 surprising because lying is wrong to do, but as the Reciever you can lie and it’s not wrong

# data[].attributes.body
I was most surprised by rule number 8 (you can lie). I was most surprised because he really has a lot more freedom now that he can lie. Everyone else in the community can’t but he can so that makes him have more choices about what he wants to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose rule 8 because if he lies he can get a big punishment and if he lies a lot his punishment can get worse.

# data[].attributes.body
Rule number 6 was the most shocking for me because even if Jonas were to get hurt, he wouldn’t be able to treat his injuries or wounds related to training. What if Jonas got seriously hurt?

# data[].attributes.body
Rule number 8 ( you can lie)
I found rule 8 the most surprising. This is because now Jonas can get away or say what ever he wants. I’m not sure why they would allow him to lie though.

# data[].attributes.body
I think rule number 8 is interesting because I’m not sure why they would want him to lie because many bad things could happen is he does lie and I’m wondering what would happen if he lied a lot, would he get in trouble?

# data[].attributes.body
I found rule #8 Suprising because Jonas can do some bad things with that rule such as lying about something important.

# data[].attributes.body
I found rule number 8 surprising because it’s the surprising and confusing why the receiver would lie since that is not good.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose rule 8 because if he lies about something important then he could have a big punishment or if he lies to much.

# data[].attributes.body
I found rule number six suprising becuase why wouldn’t they allow Jonás to take any meds? We already previously know that with his specific job of the “Memory receiver” he would go through a lot of pain as told by the previous memory receiver. I think it a different type of pain then what the community knows of and that’s why the chief master said only Jonás could get it

# data[].attributes.body
I found rule 8 interesting because lying is something that is wrong to do. But as The Receiver, it seems to be that there’s nothing wrong with lying.

# data[].attributes.body
I think rule 8 is interesting because he can do some bad stuff with that rule

# data[].attributes.body
I chose rule #8 because if Jonas lies too much or if he lies about something that’s really important, then he will face harder punishment and consequences,

# data[].attributes.body
8 was the most important rule to me because it’s so dark and Erie

# data[].attributes.body
I found rule #4 interesting because what if his parents say “what did you do in training today or if his sister asks and he just can’t say anything about it.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought tule 8 was very interesting because I thought the receiver would be the one who if he ever lied he would be kicked out of the community. But apparently he can lie as much as he wants because he is the receiver of memory. This kinda shocked me.

# data[].attributes.body
I found rule#8 surprising, because for the receiver to lie is pretty surprising, considering lying is a serious crime, having to lie about his job means that the receiver of memory does pretty different stuff that is different from the community’s rules.

# data[].attributes.body
I think rule number 8 is surprising  because maybe Jonas will overuse the rule and end up getting him self in trouble. This could lead to a worse punishment.

# data[].attributes.body
I found rule  #4 surprising because I’d wanna know how Jonas would be able to get away with not telling anyone about his role and how that could affect the future of the story.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the rule number 8 was the one that unsettles me the most because just like he said in the text what if other people are given permission to lie as well. If everybody believes that each other are telling the truth when it turns out they are lying then this society isn’t as strict and perfect as you might think.

# data[].attributes.body
Rule #6 the most surprising to me because you aren’t allowed to take any meds for any injury that happens during your training that seems intense to me and also rule #7 is weird to because you are not allowed to apply for release I am wonder why, maybe because of how important this job is.

# data[].attributes.body
I found rule #7 which was he cannot apply for release, very interesting because if something goes wrong with his job and he really hates it or something unexpected happens, he cannot apply to get released. Which may cause chaos in his own life or within the community.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m the most scared by the fact he can’t apply for a release. He doesn’t even know how hard his training will be and it also involves pain and he doesn’t know much. All he knows is it will be the most pain he has ever felt. So he may want to apply for a release and can’t.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most interesting rule that Jonas has to follow rule #7 which is that he can’t apply for release. I chose this rule is important because maybe Jonas’s job could be so hard that he would want to leave the community. And that rule is forbidding him from doing that.

# data[].attributes.body
The rule that unsettles me the most is the rule that says he is allowed to lie. In their society lying really bad and people arent expected to do it or feel the need to lie at all. I think that he might have to lie because of his job later on in the story.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that Jonas was getting very scared that a wild animal was going to pop up and it almost did, but he avoided it
