unsure - Because he didn't know if he should lie or if anyone else could or would lie to him

# data[].attributes.body
Action - obedient
Because he wants to talk to people about his first day but he doesn't by following his rules.

Speech - Nervous
Jonas is always wondering if things will hurt or what's going to happen. “He said will it hurt” and he was very nervous.

Thoughts - observant
Because when he walked in to the givers annex he immediately saw the nicer future and the walls were lined with books.

# data[].attributes.body
Action-Pain
"May I have relief-of-pain, please?" he begged. It was always provided in his everyday life for the bruises and wounds, for a smashed finger, a stomach ache, a skinned knee from a fall from a bike.

Speech-Sad
He sat in his dwelling alone, watching through the window, seeing children at play, citizens bicycling home from uneventful days at work, ordinary lives free of anguish because he had been selected, as others before him had, to bear their burden.

Thoughts-Follower
But the choice was not his. He returned each day to the Annex room.

# data[].attributes.body
Action - Caring
“Things could change Gabe, Jonas went on. Things could be different. I don’t know how, but there must be some way for things to be different. There could be colors”

This quotes tells me that he cares for Gabe and wants him to see colors and tells him that things could be different for him.

Speech - Sympathetic
“But why can’t everyone have the memories?”

I learned that Jonas is very caring towards others. This quote tells me that Jonas wants people to have good memories and see what it’s like to have those memories.

Thoughts - Optimistic
“The worst part of holding the memories, is not the pain. It’s the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.”

This quotes tells me that Jonas thinks that memories need to be shared weather they are painful or happy.

After seeing all of the other slides, I don’t think that my opinion has changed much on Jonas. He is still very caring towards others and he is also very curious.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't really have any new thoughts on Jonas. I still believe that he is a Caring and brave young man. He is also every intelligent.

Action Caring
“Jonas helped him to the chair beside the bed. Then he quickly removed his tunic and layed down. “Put your hands on me”, He directed, aware that in such anguish the giver might need reminding.”

Speech Sympathetic
“Why can’t everyone have the memories. I think it would seem a little easier if the memories were shared. You and I  wouldn’t have bear so much by ourselves, if everyone took part.”

Thoughts Brave
“The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.”

- Jonas his brave in his thoughts because he has to deal with all the memories in his mind. He can't never get rod of them until the new receiver some so he pretty much has to deal with them for the rest of his life.

# data[].attributes.body
Action - Respectful
He always says sorry when he knows he is doing something wrong or knows he is being slightly more rude than usual. Another example is when he asked his parents if they loved him and they said that question was ridiculous.

Speech -  Mature
I think that Jonas is very mature because whenever he talks he knows what he is supposed to act like and say. One specific example is when he asks the giver questions in the beginning of his training and he starts to apologize, bu then the giver told him not to apologize to him anymore.

Thoughts - Independent
I think that Jonas is very independent because he doesn’t really need anybody's help he just likes to keep to himself and mind his own business. An example of this would be when he was with Gabriel and asks his parents if Gabe could seep in his room and take care of him for awhile, I thought that was very independent for him to say.

# data[].attributes.body
Action Trait: Distraught
Specifically about not being able to enlighten his friends and family about the wonders he learns about. It upsets him because it’s so wonderful and they can’t understand it. He feels bad for them.

He tried to transmit good memories to Asher and Lily and couldn’t.

“And he was angry at himself, that he could not change that (their satisfaction for mundane life without any vibrance.)  for them.”

Speech Trait: Perspicacious
Jonas is clever and perceptive and very quick to learn things. Instead of just seeing what he wants and would like, he can see the consequences having those things could bring.

“... what is we could hold up things that were bright red, or bright yellow and he could choose? Instead of Sameness.” -Jonas

“He could make the wrong choice.” - The Giver

“Oh, I see what you mean. It wouldn’t matter with a newchild’s toy. But later it does matter, doesn’t it? We don’t dare to let people make choices of their own.”

“Not safe?”

“Definitely not safe.”

Thoughts Trait: Sympathetic
Jonas is specifically sympathetic towards the Giver on the days he’s in pain. He gets worried and wants to help.

“‘Go,’ The Giver would tell him tensely. ‘I’m in pain today. Come back tomorrow.’

On those days, worried and disappointed…”

“‘I’ll come back tomorrow, sir,’ he (Jonas) said quickly. Then he hesitated. ‘Unless maybe there’s something I can do to help.’”

# data[].attributes.body
Action- Caring
Jonas is very caring as we read about him more. He shows actions of caring when the Giver had a bad day. The Giver had a lot of pain because of a bad memory so Jonas asked to help him and take the pain away and give it to Jonas and that was very caring of Jonas to take the pain away and have to suffer the painful memory so that the Giver didn't have to.

The giver looked up at him, his face contorted with suffering. “Please”, he gasped, “take some of the pain”... the hands came, and the pain came with them and through them. Jonas braced himself and entered the memory which was torturing the Giver.

Chapter 15 Pg.118

Speech- Uncertain/ uneasy
Jonas is very uncertain and uneasy when he talks. When Jonas talks and asks questions to the Giver of to his family he seems uncertain and hesitant before he asks the questions. Because he doesn't want to be rude or ask the wrong things and he especially doesn't want to lie but sometimes he has to. When Jonas asked his parents if he loved him he was very uncertain of what to say to them.

“Your father means that you used a very generalized word, so meaningless that it's become almost obsolete,” his his mother explained carefully. Jonas stared at them. Meaningless? He had never before felt anything as meaningful as the memory…

“Do you understand why it's inappropriate to use a word like ‘love’?” mother asked.

Jonas nodded. “Yes, thank you, i do.” he replied slowly. It was his first lie to his parents.

Chapter 16 Pg. 127

Thoughts- Curious
When Jonas thinks to himself he seems very curious. He asks questions to himself and wonders what happened in the past. He also is very curious about the rules and why we have so many and why the rules are “unfair”,  why we can't change the rules, and why everyone can't have the memories and share them between the whole community.

Jonas wasn't interested, just then, in wisdom. It was colors that fascinated him. “Why can't everyone see them?” Why did colors disappear?”

Chapter 12 Pg. 95

Action- observant
“Jonas entered the annex room and realized immediately that it was a day he would be sent away.” Pg. 118
Speech- Observant
“ The chief elder told me at the beginning that the receiving of memory would cause a lot of pain.” Pg. 107
Thoughts- fearing
This new thought was frightening.  What if they had all been instructed you may lie?   Pg. 71

# data[].attributes.body
Action- Focused
“Once more, toward dawn, the newchild woke and cried out. Again Jonas went to him. This time he quite deliberately placed his hand firmly in Gabriel’s back, and released the rest of the calming day on the lake. Again Gabriel slept.”   Pg. 116-117

Speech- inquisitive
“But now that I can see colors, at least sometimes, I was just thinking: what if we could hold up things that were bright red, or bright yellow, and he could choose? Instead of sameness.”   Pg. 98

He wonders many things, with all the knowledge he has earned form the memories, he wonders what it would be like if things were the same as back then. He wants ho know why things changed, and why people gave up such wonderful things such as colors.

Thoughts- Thoughtful
“Things could change, Gabe,’ Jonas went on. ‘Things could be different. I don't know how, but there must be some way for things to be different There could be colors… ‘and Grandparents,’ he added, staring through the dimness towards the ceiling of his sleepingroom. ‘And everybody would have memories.”  Pg. 128

# data[].attributes.body
Action Trait- Thoughtful
Jonas is very empathetic for others. If someone is in pain, he wants to relieve them of that pain, if someone is sad, he wants them to be happy.

When the giver is in so much pain from the memories, Jonas tries to do everything he can to help him be relieved of the pain even if Jonas has to take it from him.

Speech Trait- Motivational
Jonas wants people to feel good about themselves and be confident of who they are. He is very motivational and an overall positive influence for others.

“You too,” Jonas replied. “It was really funny, when she told about the smacks. You got more applause than almost anybody else.”

In this paragraph, Jonas was making Asher feel good about himself by mentioning how he got the most applause at the Ceremony than anyone else which Jonas was making a big deal out of. He is a very kind friend to Asher and others.

Thoughts Trait- Inclusive
Jonas doesn’t want others to be left out in anything he believes should be shared with them. He thinks everyone should be included.

“He found that he was often angry, now: irrationally angry with his groupmates, that they were satisfied with their lives which had none of the vibrance his own was taking on. And he was angry at himself, that he could not change that for them.”

Jonas wishes the people around him could see the true beauty of the world around them with all of the different vibrant colors instead of the dull, lifeless world they see now.

# data[].attributes.body
Trait - Active
"Jonas casually picked up an apple from the basket where the snacks were kept, and had thrown it to his friend."

- Throughout the book you realize he likes to do activities, or is mad that he can't hang out with his friends as much anymore, now that he is the Receiver -

Trait - Truthful
"He had never, withing his memory, been tempted to lie."

- He is a truthful person, and doesn't think that he will have to lie, even though he is now permitted to -

Trait - Wild
"His heart jumped for a moment, and then he thought wild thoughts."

- Sometimes Jonas feels wild thoughts -

# data[].attributes.body
Action trait - Caring
Still patting rhythmically, Jonas began to remember the wonderful sail that The Giver had given him not long before: a bright, breezy day on a clear turquoise lake, and above him the white sail of the boat billowing as he moved along in the brisk wind. Chapter 14- Pg. 116

I think he is caring when he is with Gabe in his bedroom he comforts him by giving him good memories. This action definitely speaks louder than words because Jonas was looking out for Gabe, and gave him a memory that he will get to remember for the rest of his life.

Speech trait - Polite

"Giver," he asked one afternoon following a day when he

had been sent away, "what causes you pain?" Chapter 13, Pg. 107

Jonas is polite when he speaks because he always hesitates when he interrupts people “he knows it’s wrong”. He always asks about how the Giver is doing. When he was in pain, Jonas asked him if he could take some of it away for him. He cares about how he feels and this makes him polite. With the dialogue I can understand that the community has made him this way but I also understand that this is also just who he is and how he acts.

Thoughts trait - Curiosity
"Do you understand why it's inappropriate to use a word like 'love'?" Mother asked.

Jonas nodded. "Yes, thank you, I do," he replied slowly.

It was his first lie to his parents. Chapter 16, Pg. 127

I think the most curious part of him in the book is when he is asking his parents if they love him. He doesn’t truly understand why his parents think the word love is a meaningless and inappropriate word to use. Even though he says he does understand he tells us that him agreeing with them was his first lie to his parents. That is also definitely not the only time he has been curious about things, he has wondered about the colors, the books and where the old go when they are released.

# data[].attributes.body
Trait: Caring
| “Gabriel's breathing was even and deep. Jonas liked having him there, though he felt guilty about the secret. Each night he gave memories to Gabriel: memories of boatrides and picnics in the sun; memories of soft rainfall against windowpanes; memories of dancing barefoot on a damp lawn.”
Trait: Puzzled
|  "Do you love me?" There was an awkward silence for a moment. Then Father gave a little chuckle. Jonas. You, of all people. Precision of language, please!""What do you mean?" Jonas asked. Amusement was not at all what he had anticipated. "Your father means that you used a very generalized word, so meaningless that it's become almost obsolete," his mother explained carefully. Jonas stared at them. Meaningless? He had never before felt anything as meaningful as the memory. "And of course our community can't function smoothly if people don't use precise language. You could ask, 'Do you enjoy me?' The answer is `Yes,' " his mother said. "Or," his father suggested, "'Do you take pride in my accomplishments?' And the answer is wholeheartedly "Yes.'"
This shows that he is puzzled about his parents think about him and he doesn’t know how to feel about it.
Trait: Fearful
| “Jonas did not want to go back. He didn't want the memories, didn't want the honor, didn't want the wisdom, didn't want the pain. He wanted his childhood again, his scraped knees and ball games.”
This show that he doesn’t want to go back since he doesn’t want to feel any memories of pain that he know that he will have to feel

# data[].attributes.body
Trait: Apologetic
“Sir I apologize for my lack of understanding”... Ch.10 Pg-75  The Giver told he didn’t have to apologize to him but Jonas did anyway.

Trait:Questionable
“The whole word?” he asked, “I don’t understand. Do you mean no just us. Not just the community? Do you mean elsewhere too?” Ch-10- Pg- 77-78
He likes to ask a lot of questions, he wants answer right away too.

Trait:Confused
“I don’t understand it sir.” Ch.10- Pg-78

He doesn’t understand everything right away, he asked questions to help him Become a better Receiver.

# data[].attributes.body
Trait=Daring

The rules say that you cannot touch anyone. When Jonas was telling ashier to look at the bush very carefully he touched him and told him to focus.

Trait=Intelligent

Jonas speaks like he is intelligent. He could never lie but when he had to lie it came to him right away instead of him not saying anything he said something that sounds true. I think that he is very smart because he talks like he is really smart but he sometimes does make the right choices like, he should not have showed Gabriel a dream even though it was nice what happened if he would have been caught doing that.”

Trait=Anxious

He wants to tell Gabriel that they can see color and tries to tell ashier about it by touching him. When Gabriel and Jonas were sleeping Jonas thought that it would be a good idea to give a memory to Gabriel not a bad one but a good one.”But now Jonas lay awake, thinking. He no longer had any more than a wisp of the memory, and he felt a small lack where it had been.”

# data[].attributes.body
Trait: Ashamed
‘’He hunched his shoulders and tried to make himself look smaller in his seat. He wanted to make himself disappear, to disappear, not to exist. He didn’t dare turn  and find his parents in the crowd. He couldn’t bare to see the shame on their darkened faces.’’

Trait :Confident

‘’I think it’s true.’’ He told the chief elder and the community. ‘’ I don’t quite understand it yet. I don’t know what it is. But, sometimes I see something and maybe it’s beyond.’’

Trait: Confused

‘’She skipped me jonas thought stunned.’’‘’A mistake jonas thought, she had made a mistake. Even though he knew she had not.’’

# data[].attributes.body
Trait:maturing
"Sir, I apologize for my lack of understanding..... "
Trait:competent
"You may ask questions. I have so little experience in describing this process. It is forbidden to talk of it."I know, sir. I have read the instructions," Jonas said. "So I may neglect to make things as clear as I should." The man chuckled. "My job is important and has enormous honor. But that does not mean I am perfect, and when I tried before to train a successor, I failed. Please ask any questions that will help you." this tells that he is growing up and getting to know what it is like to be an adult and that he is ready to do his assignment.
Trait: important.
She skipped me, Jonas thought, stunned. Had he heard wrong? No. There was a sudden hush in the crowd, and he knew that the entire community realized that the Chief Elder had moved from Eighteen to Twenty, leaving a gap.

This is when jonas got his job as the receiver of memory and he is now one of the most important people in that town.

# data[].attributes.body
Action Trait- Careless

“That's why I was one minute late.” Chapter 12, Pg. 92.

In chapters 6-16 Jonas has begun to lose his sense of caring ever since he received his assignment. He still cares, but just not as much as he used to. I used this quote because it describes his actions as being careless because he failed to show up to his assignment on time.

Speech Trait- Respectful

“Sir, I apologize for my lack of understanding.” Chapter 10, Pg. 75.

Jonas says things that any other human says. Jonas still is very respectful when it comes to his tone of voice and the way he talks to others.

I learn and understand that Jonas is overall a very respectful person just by the way he talks, because if he ever does something wrong he is very respectful and always apologizes unless it is to the Giver, because he is not required to apologize to him.

Thoughts Trait- Uncertain

“But the stuff---I  mean the snow--- in the air made it hard to see anything. Chapter 12, Pg. 92.

In the book Jonas proves a lot through his private thoughts and feelings. He proves that he is very scared and a little uncertain about the dreams he receives from the giver because he has never experienced anything like this before.

# data[].attributes.body
Action Trait: Unsatisfied

The Giver told him that it would be a very long time before he had the colors to keep.“But I want them!” Jonas said angrily. “It isn’t fair that nothing has color!”. Chapter 13 Pg. 97

Explanation: It looks like Jonas doesn't want the Sameness in his community after knowing that colors did exist. I noticed that he secretly would like to have choices and colors and thinks that it is not fair to not have colors today in his community.

Speech Trait: Truthful

“You slept soundly, Jonas?” his mother asked at the morning meal, “No dreams?”

Jonas simply smiled and nodded, not ready to lie, and willing to tell he truth. “I slept soundly,” he said.

Chapter 12 Pg.88

Explanation:He speaks the truth to his mother, even though the rule in his folder allows him to lie to anyone as he is the Receiver of Memory. But, he doesn’t do that, but is truthful towards his mother.

Thoughts Trait: Depressed

Jonas did not want to go back. He didn’t want the memories, didn’t want the honor, didn’t want the wisdom, didn’t want the pain. He wanted his childhood again, his scraped knees and ball games. He sat in his dwelling alone, watching through the window, seeing children at play, citizens bicycling home from uneventful days from work, ordinary lives and free of anguish because they were chosen to bear their burden.

Chapter 16 Pg. 121

Explanation: After the ceremony of Twelve, when Jonas was selected as the Receiver of Memory, he started feeling alone and depressed as he had no time for recreation hours and he didn't use to meet his friends often. He would sit alone in the window of his dwelling, and watch the children and adults bicycling after their jobs, volunteering hours or from uneventful days, enjoying and feels like he was chosen to bear their burden.

# data[].attributes.body
Action Trait- Daring
“He had not taken the pills, now, for four weeks, The Stirrings had returned, and he felt a little guilty and embarrassed about the pleasurable dreams that came to him as he slept. But he knew he couldn’t go back to the world of no feelings that he had lived in so long.” Chapter 17; Pg. 131

Speech Trait- Optimistic
“ “When did they decide that?” Jonas asked angrily, “It wasn’t fair. Let’s change it!” “How do you suggest we do that ? I’ve never been able to think of a way, and I’m supposed to be the one with all the wisdom.” “But there are two of us now,” Jonas said eagerly. “Together we can think of something!” “ Chapter 14; Pg. 113

Jonas gets upset about how the Giver and himself has to take everyone’s pain, so that the community can remain painless. He wants to take a stand and ask the counsel to change the rules, to spread the memories equally among everyone. The Giver is very uncertain of Jonas’s optimistic.

Thoughts Trait- Uneasy
“ “Do you love me?” There was an awkward silence for a moment. Then Father gave a little chuckle. “Jonas. You, of all people. Precision of language, please!” “What do you mean?” Jonas asked. Amusement was not at all what he had anticipated. “Your father means that you used a very generalized word, so meaningless that it’s become almost obsolete,” his mother explained carefully. Jonas stared at them. Meaningless? He had never before felt anything as meaningful as the memory.” Chapter 16; Pg 127

We learn that Jonas gets a little upset that his parents think that love is meaningless. He takes the memory of love to heart and hearing love is an obsolete word, makes him uneasy. Something that he believes so in so heartfully, was denied by his parents.

# data[].attributes.body
Action - Kind:

Jonas behaves very kindly, like with Gabriel, they have a special bond together and Jonas loves Gabriel very much even though that it is a meaningless word in their community.

“Jonas nodded again. “Mine could,” he pointed out. “We have Gabriel this year, and it's fun, having a third child.”

Speech - Difficult:

Jonas sometimes has a hard time “watching his language”, like when he asks his mom and dad if they love him.

“”Do you love me?” There was an awkward silence for a moment. Then father gave a little chuckle. “Jonas. You, of all people. Precision of language, please!” “What do you mean?” Jonas asked. Amusement was not at all what he had anticipated. “Your father means that you sed a very generalized word, so meaningless that it’s become almost obsolete,” his mother explained carefully”
Thoughts - Negative:

He sometimes thinks in a negative way about things in his life, like his thought about not wanting to do his life assignment anymore, he just wanted his old life again, where he didn’t have to do work, where he could just play and have fun.

“Jonas did not want to go back. He didn’t want the memories, didn’t want the honor, didn’t want the wisdom, didn’t want the pain. He wanted his childhood again, scraped knees and ball games. He sat in his dwelling alone, watching through the window, seeing children at play, citizens bicycling home from uneventful days at work, ordinary lives free of anguish because he had been selected, as others before him had, to bear their burden"

# data[].attributes.body
action: isolated
“On those days, worried and disappointed, Jonas would walk alone beside the river.”
He’s isolated from everyone he is close to because he can’t talk about his training to anyone and he knows that even if he tried they wouldn’t understand.

speech - ambitious
“But there are two of us now,” Jonas said eagerly. “Together we can think of something!”
This tell us that Jonas has a lot of ideas and he  thinks that they could change their community and they can do it because there is two of them. If they work together they can do so much to get rid of the sameness.

thoughts- curious
“What if others - adults -had, upon becoming twelves, received in their instructions the same terrifying sentence?”
We learn that Jonas has many thoughts and thinks very deeply. He often thinks of lots of questions that he wants to know the answer to.

# data[].attributes.body
Action: Brave
In chapter 15, the giver had a bad pain and wanted Jonas to take this horrible memory and without hesitation Jonas took the memory.

"Please," he gasped, "take some of the pain." Jonas helped him to his chair at the side of the bed. Then he quickly removed his tunic and lay face down. "Put your hands on me," p.118

Speech: frustrated
Jonas is frustrated when he figures out that no one can see colors and he has to keep all of the memories so no one else has to have the pain and he doesn’t know his grandparents and his children won’t know their grandparents.

Jonas frowned. "But my parents must have had parents! “I never thought about it before. Who are my parents-of-the-parents? Where are they?" p. 124

Thoughts: unhappy
Jonas is unhappy when he finds out that the word love is almost obsolete and never used in the community, while it has such a strong meaning to him.

"Your father means that you used a very generalized word, so meaningless that it's become almost obsolete," his mother explained carefully. Jonas stared at them. Meaningless? He had never before felt anything as meaningful as the memory. p. 127

# data[].attributes.body
Action - Brave:

"The hands came, and the pain came with them and through them. Jonas braced himself and entered the memory which was torturing The Giver." Pg 118

Jonas is brave because he took the Givers pain knowing it would hurt him.

Speech - confused:

""What do you mean?" Jonas asked. Amusement was not at all what he had anticipated." Pg. 127

Jonas was confused because he didn’t understand why he couldn’t use the word love.

Thoughts - Patient:

“"Go," The Giver would tell him tensely. "I'm in pain today. Come back tomorrow."  On those days, worried and disappointed, Jonas would walk alone beside the river.” Pg 106

Jonas was very patient on the days that the giver was feeling to much pain to teach

# data[].attributes.body
Action: heavy-hearted
“Jonas did not want to go back. He didn’t want the memories, didn’t want the honor, didn’t want the wisdom, didn’t want the pain. He wanted his childhood again, his scraped knees and ball games.”

Jonas isn’t carefree like he used to be. He has to bear this huge burden and that makes him heavy-hearted.

Speech: inquisitive
“What is your favorite? Jonas asked The Giver. …  “Who were the old people? Why were they there?”

I learned that Jonas asks a lot of questions and wants answers. He wants to know everything that is going on in each memory and wants it to be a part in his life. I understand that Jonas is curious and inquisitive.

Thoughts: upset
“Jonas stared at them. Meaningless? He had never before felt anything as meaningful as the memory.”

Jonas is upset by the fact his parents don’t know the word love like he does. He knows it means a lot, or used too in another time. Jonas’s parents say the word love is meaningless when he asks if they love him, but he knows it isn’t meaningless.

# data[].attributes.body
Trait: Matured
Jonas has grown up a lot and matured now that he has been going to the giver.Since he has been going to the giver he has wanted to be a kid again and have fun.

Actions: Kind
“Unless maybe there’s something I can do to help.”
Jonas is kind in many ways such as he helped the giver relieve some pain. He is also very respectful and nice to his parents. He is barley ever mean in the book.
Jonas behaves kind because he cares about many and their feelings. He seems to never hurt anyone and cares for them a lot.
Chapter 15 page 118

Speech: Polite
“Thank you for my first day.”

Jonas say many polite things such as he the quote above. Whenever he talks to people he is usually polite and only says caring things.

Jonas speaks very politely when he is speaking to others. He seems to use kind and caring words. He uses please and thanks you like in the quote above. I have never him not being polite.

What I understand and learn about Jonas based on what and how he says things is that he barely ever mean when he is speaking to others. He is barley ever rude even when he is in so much pain. He also never gets mad at The Giver.
Chapter 11 page 86

Thoughts: Perspective

"Jonas-knew, on days when he arrived to find The Giver hunched over, rocking his body slightly back and forth, his face pale, that he would be sent away."
It is revealed that Jonas is perspective in many kind of ways because he automatically knew that The Giver was not feeling well. He picked up right away that he should probably leave him alone because he was not feeling well.
Chapter 13 page 105

# data[].attributes.body
Action- Uncertain
Jonas doesn't know weather to lie to his parents or to anyone. And Jonas wants to know why cant everyone have and share the memories

Speech- Honest
Jonas has only told one lie to his parents and it was at the very end of the last chapter we read. He isn't afraid to ask the giver questions even thought they would be considered rude

Thoughts- Independent

Jonas has not taken his pill and the stirrings are back unlike anyone else in the community because they all take the pill

“Jonas did not take his pill.” p 129

# data[].attributes.body
I think Jonas is brave because he saw that The Giver had a lot of pain. Then  without hesitating
Jonas  help The Giver into his chair and let him give the memory to Jonas, even though Jonas new it was painful.

“What are you going to do, sir?" He asked, hoping that his voice didn’t betray his nervousness.

“No. I only felt it under me. I dreamed of it last night, too. But I don’t remember seeing the sled in my dream, either. Just feeling it.”

Afraid - Jonas doesn’t like all the painful memories that he is receiving.

Jonas did not want to go back. He didn’t want the memories, didn’t want the honor, didn’t want the wisdom, didn’t want the pain.

willing - I think that jonas is willing because he is willing to do whatever he can to help the giver by taking the pain away from him .
angry - He is angry because his world does not have any of the happy things that jonas has been given in his memories from the giver.
guilty - He is feeling guilty now that he has started lying and at first he felt that he shouldn't but now that he has he doesn't know how often he will.

After reading the others my opinions have not changed.

He usually tries to keep quiet or lie about his thoughts because he is permitted to lie

Thoughts: anger- He gets angry about the fact that he has to bear all of the memories and that nobody else can see color or can make their own decisions or even  choose their own clothes.

Actions - Caring:
Jonas is caring by using his actions with everyone that he meets. When the Giver had a bad day and was going to let Jonas go home for the day, Jonas asked if he could help take the pain away and give the bad memory to him.

Speech - Kind:
Jonas shows that he is kind by his words. Jonas always watches what he says before he says it outloud. When he asked his parents if the love him he wasn’t rude about it when he asked or when his parents said that they didn’t love him. He is very kind to the Giver when asking questions and taking away the painful memories from him.

Thoughts - Strong:
Jonas shows that he is strong through his thoughts by never giving up. When the Giver gives Jonas the memory of war, he was in pain and was thinking to himself about how much the pain hurt and that he wanted his old life back. Even though he was in pain he always came back to his training.

Actions:
Mature  -  I feel that Jonas’s actions are very mature. For example he doesn’t go outside and play like a little boy anymore, although he wishes he could, he doesn’t. He is also very mature by caring for Gabriel. He is not old enough to have a kid of his own yet but he is still taking care of Gabriel during the night. He has grown and matured ever since he got his new job as the receiver of memory.
Speech:
Impolite  -   I feel Jonas’s speech is impolite. I feel like it is slightly ok for him to talk impolite though, because of the rules for his job as the receiver of memory. An example piece of text would be when he asks “Do you love me?” to his dad. His parents thought that was not the right choice of words. He was also being impolite when he was interrupting the Giver while he was talking. He kept apologizing but the Giver told him to stop apologizing.
Thoughts:
Sensitive  -  I feel that Jonas’s thoughts are very sensitive. An example of when his thoughts are sensitive is when he is thinking about the memories that he has received. He thinks some are painful and some are joyful, so his thoughts about them are very sensitive.

Actions- Trait: Brave

Jonas receives the first memory bravely. He behaves as if it is scary but good at the same time, like a rollercoaster.

It was startling; but he was not at all frightened, now Pg. 80

Speech- Trait: Concerned

Jonas says he is concerned about all of the places and times that the memories come from. Jonas speaks in a bewildered manner, like he is surprised but yet at the same time concerned and confused.

Jonas frowned, “The whole world?” he asked. “I don’t understand. Do you mean not just us? Not just the community? Do you mean Elsewhere too?-” [...] “I thought there was only us. I thought there was only now.” Pg. 78

Thoughts- Trait: Curious

It is revealed that Jonas is curious about all of the rules of his training and how he is exempt to some of the rules of the regular Community.

Now Jonas had a thought that he had never had before. This new thought was frightening. What if others-- adults--- had, upon becoming Twelves, received in their instructions the same terrifying sentence. [...] His mind reeled. Pg. 71

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have many new thoughts on jonas except that his is very thoughtful and curious about learning more about memorys

# data[].attributes.body
Caring he is a very caring person he cares about other people and he loves what he does for his jobs.

Jonas says things in a nice way and he means what he says.

Jonas is also pretty nice when he says stuff too.  But something he can be a little mean about it.
Jonas thought are like what he think about during the day.

I still think that Jonas likes to help people out and he is not the type of person who only cares about himself he cares about other people too.  He is nice to other people too.  He loves what he does for his assignment so far and he likes telling people memory.

1. Caring
“Jonas liked having him there, though he felt guilty about the secret. Each night he gave memories to Gabriel: memories of boat rides and picnics in the sun; memories of soft rainfall against windowpanes; memories of dancing barefoot on a damp lawn.”

2. curious
“Do you love me?” --This is jonas asking his parents.

3. thoughtful
“He tried his remaining arm and felt it move. Slowly he reached to his side, felt a metal container there, and removed its cap, stopping the small motion of his hand now and then to tainer was open, he extended his arm slowly, across the blood- soaked earth, inch by inch, and held it to the lips of the boy. Water trickled into the imploring mouth and down the grimy chin.”
