Jonas is begin to question about adults and rules if all adults are allowed to break the rules and if he is fit for the job.He is adding that people are different because before he did not notice because he was not allowed to.I wonder what will happen to jonas.

The possibility that all the adults are allowed to lie meaning possibly everything he knows could be a lie. That hes only being told what they want him to think. Now I wondering far it will go because there is no doubt in my mind what hes saying is true I mean they think bears and elephants are mythical creatures, they're not allowed to leave and pilots cant fly over the community they clearly don't want the people knowing whats outside of this place so my only wonder is WHY and for HOW long it will stay this way.

Jonas is beginning to question his new life now that he will barely get to see his family and friends. He is also questioning the new rules that he has to follow. He is bothered by the rule to lie. He was always tought to never lie when he was younger, but he doesn't know if he will ever do it

Jonas is beginning to question if others can lie after they are assigned to their assignments. Elements of a dystopian society so far are propaganda to control the citizen's society/lives. Information, independent thoughts are restricted. Surveillance is excessive.

Jonas is starting to question if people lie and that he would not know if he asked his parents if they lied if they would be telling the truth.There could be people that lie all the time in the community and no one would know.Theses are elements of a dystopian society because there might be people that lie all the time.

Jonas is beginning to question about his assinments once he realizes what he can not do anymore and what he has to do.For an example jonas can not go outside and ride bikes and and play with asher anymore because he has so much training and responsibitilies now with his new job assinment. Jonas also has to lie.When jonas was little he was taught not to lie and now he has to lie about stuff and i]he is questioning if his parents also have to lie and if they have benn lying there whole life to.

Jonas is starting to question if everyone is told to lie or if it was just him. he becomes worried that everyone he knows has ever lied to him and all the rules he has been taught go away and people are just pretending.

Jonas is wounding if the adults were allowed to lie. A element of dystopian is when

Jonas is starting to question his new assignment as the Receiver of Memories. The Chief Elder said the pan was indescribable and Jonas needed a lot of courage to be able to keep the physical pain. Once Jonas's parents told him about the last receiver who had failed and had never been seen again. Then Jonas started questioning if everybody in the community lied; his sister, Asher, or even his parents.

Bella Hoge

2020-09-30 15:07:41 UTC

The rules that he had been given since he was now the "receiver of memory." He was given a few new rules and some of the rules he had to follow his entire life, were gone. The physical plain of his assignment and the rules about lying to others were elements of a dystopian society. I wonder what that physical pain could be and how is associated with his new assignment?

Christian Medina

2020-09-30 15:10:46 UTC

Jonas was beginning to question whether or not he could do the job. When Jonas does his training of Receiver Of Memory he is prohibited to take any medication whatsoever. Jonas questioned if he would have any time for Recreation. I wonder if Jonas is going to apply for his role to be changed. Reading these rules Jonas seems apprehensive about his new role in the community. The Receiver Of Memory is an important role, and Jonas is just now realizing it.

Lauren Kim

2020-09-30 15:13:07 UTC

Jonas is starting to question if adults in the community received the same statement "you may lie" in their rules when they became twelves.
An element of a Dystopian society is lying. He has permission to lie and he doesn't know if his parents are lying to him.
As a reader, I wonder if he will ask his parents if they are lying and I wonder if he will lie.

(he does lie)

Andrew Bridges

2020-09-30 15:13:18 UTC

He is beginning to question the rules for his new job and if all the rule pages looked like that. The elements of the dystopian society are that he is allowed no playtime at all. As a reader, I wonder if he will use his new rules to his advantage or if he won't use them at all.

Allyson Lamarre

2020-09-30 15:13:25 UTC

In the reading Jonas has started to question if the adults ever lied because one of the rules on his sheet was that he was allowed to lie. An elements that were added to the plot was the one about lying, if Jonas could lie then it's possible that other adults were allowed to lie as well. As a reader I wonder if some adults lied about stuff like medication or anything like that, also I wonder what the previous receiver had done to make her basically vanish from the community.

Madyson Ruisard

2020-09-30 15:17:12 UTC

Hes questioning whether if all 12s got the same rule Lying. He wanted to ask his dad becuase he can ask questions now but he wasn't sure if he'll get the truth

Rory Terry

2020-09-30 15:18:00 UTC

He is beginning to question if he really wants this job. He can see color but the other people cannot. What other things can the people not do that we can?

lexi teany

2020-09-30 16:59:18 UTC

Hes starting to question if any of his family members have lied or if anyone lied before. The author is adding to the story that Jonas is aloud to lie and that he is aloud to be mean now. I wonder if his family ever had lied before and i wonder why he is starting to see color sort of.

Marcel Lester

2020-09-30 17:01:01 UTC

Jonas is beginning to question if the community was what he had always thought it was. Also do the adults in the community have the option it lie too. A element of Dystopian society is that the community gets the choose everyone lives. They choose who they marry, their children, and their jobs. As a reader I wonder if the community would be a good/ safe place to live.

Claire Leonard

2020-09-30 17:03:11 UTC

1. Do adults actually lie?
2. That there is no diversity, and people aren't able to see individuality.
3. I wonder how Jonas is going to feel when he starts his training. Will he like it? Will it make him not like people because he sees the real them?

Milly Hughes

2020-09-30 17:06:48 UTC

1-Jonas is begining to question the rules of his assignent.
2-They dont get to pick their own jobs.

Priscilla Durden

2020-09-30 17:07:48 UTC

1. Jonas is starts to realize that his life won't be the same as it was before.

2. Some elements of a dystopian society being added into the plot by the author is the new rules he has to follow presented in the story Includes : "1. Go immediately at the end of school hours each day to the Annex entrance behind the House of the Old and present yourself to the attendant." "2. Go immediately to your dwelling at the conclusion of Training Hours each day." "6. Except for illness or injury unrelated to your training, do not apply for any medication."

3. I wonder as a reader what type of physical pain is he going to have to go through during his training.

1. He is questioning of everyone in the community lies. Because when he is the receiver of memory he is allowed to lie. He is wondering if everyone else can lie too. 2. That you may lie. You aren't allowed to tell anyone about your training. And you can be rude. 3. If everyone else in the community is allowed to lie or not. And what is going to happen to Jonas while in training.

Charley v.

2020-09-30 17:10:22 UTC

Jonas is beginning to question if others that got their assigimnets were allowed to lie too. the author is starting to add elements of a dystopian society like how the committe made sure no one saw others for the color of their skin and now jonas can see color. i wonder if there is a connection between having pale eyes and being the reciver of memory.

Daniel pierce

2020-09-30 17:46:17 UTC

Jonas was starting to question if every adult in the community was allowed to lie.
Some elements of a dystopian society are that some people are starting to get treated different. Some have more privileges than others and everyone is not equal anymore. Some may get made about this causing a fight. As a reader I am starting to wonder how Jonas training will go. What is this physical pain the Chief Elder is talking about?

Kaylee Brunson

2020-09-30 17:49:00 UTC

Jonas in now beginning to question if everything that he has been told as a child had been a lie. He was raised with the rule that no one is allowed to lie, yet as he gets his job, he is allowed to, raising suspicion about the other adults and Elders. The Dystopian society is now shining through the once, shallow perceived "perfect community". Whenever Jonas had been chosen to be the new receiver on stage, he had looked out into the crowd, noticing that something had changed for a split second, such as it had with the apple. The thing Jonas had seen was colors, which people in this society cannot see, creating absolutely no diversity between people. This is starting to hint to the readers by the author, that this place has high control on the citizens without them even realizing. As a reader, I'm wondering what is the true reason behind creating this colorless, sameness, and emotionless society.

Ellie Queen

2020-09-30 17:51:02 UTC

Jonas is beginning to question how he would go about doing the things in the instructions. He said it was beyond his comprehension of these instructions. The author is adding the ability to lie. This is a very big dystopian factor. I wonder why he would have to lie about his training and what would put him in so much pain.

Grace Jung-Marlman

2020-09-30 17:52:02 UTC

Jonas is questioning if he will have time to do recreation and if he will be able to spend time with his friends since he was appointed to be the new Receiver of Memory. He also wonders if all adults lie because in his rules of being the Receiver of Memory, he sees that the last rule is that you may lie. Elements of a dystopian society are being revealed such as total control over everyone which is the committee ruling over and controlling the whole community's lives. Also, the strict rules that the community must follow are hinting that Jonas's community is a dystopian society. I wonder if Jonas is going to be successful as a Receiver of Memory and if he will enjoy doing it in the future. I also wonder if Jonas will realize that his community is a dystopian society. What kind of lies will he tell with his ability and power to lie?

Anna Bubelis

2020-09-30 17:53:14 UTC

Jonas is beginning to question if any of the adults in the community received instructions when they were 12 that said they are allowed to lie like Jonas is. The elements of total government control and loss of individualism are beginning to be added to the plot by the author. As a reader, I wonder if the trait of having light eyes influences a citizen's ability to acquire the Capacity to See Beyond, and if so, then does Gabriel have the Capacity to See Beyond?

Nick Lolli

2020-09-30 17:53:51 UTC

1. Jonas was questioning whether or not that he liked his new assignment because he still wanted to play with his friends.
2.That the community controls your life and tells you what to do and even tells you your job. It is like you don't have control of anything in your life.
3.I wonder how difficult Jonas job really is and why it causes no time for him to play with his friends.

Reagan Drennen

2020-09-30 17:54:03 UTC

1. Jonas is now questioning if adults have been given the permission to lie when they got their Assignments.
2. Jonas is beginning to feel different and losing individualism and he knows that there is indescribable pain awaiting him in his Assignment which no one has had in the community.
3. I wonder what type of things he will have to do and will he be able to see the things that the community can't see long enough to understand and make sense of what he is seeing. I also wonder if he will realize how different the community is to what they can't see

Damian martin

2020-09-30 17:54:38 UTC

1. Jonas questions if he the society he has lived in is perfect
2. The last rule Jonas was given was that he could lie, making him wonder if all other adults got that same rule
3. What training does he have to do, what even does the Jonas do in his role

Kyle Lorenzen

kylelorenzen3129 — 2020-09-30 17:54:44 UTC

1- Jonas was beginning to question if all adults were allowed to lie once the became 12. 2- There is no diversity between everyone in the community.
3- Has this whole community been a set-up by the government to be this perfect world but really its the exact opposite.

Chris Jin

2020-09-30 17:56:38 UTC

He is questioning if the Adults were lying to the children all this time. Some elements of a dystopian society is no lying ever, and since he has a job of the highest honor, he can know ask a question to anyone and expect answers. As a reader, my questions are what is Jonas going to do as a Reciever of Memory and what makes the job so painful.

Emma Myhand

2020-09-30 17:57:39 UTC

Jonas is begging to wonder if anybody else has had permission to lie, or if it was just the Receivers of Memory. The government has complete control over Jonas and all the other citizens. Jonas does not get any recreation time and he is told, where to go, and when to go there. He was not allowed to do something else besides what is on his instruction sheet. Complete government control many people want in a Dystopian society. Also, in the Hunger Games, every district had to do what the capital wanted them to do, and if they did not follow those rules, they were punished. Somethings that stuck out to me were, has anyone done something else instead of doing what is on their instruction card? How has everyone done what the government has told them without question? Do any of them want a sense of individuality?

isabelle bryant

2020-09-30 17:57:45 UTC

1- he was beginning to question if once you become a adult is everyone allowed to lie, or is it just him.

2- lying would be part of a dystopian society and if he is the only one allowed to lie then that is unfair which is also part of a dystopian society.

3- i wonder what type of training he would be doing that would cause him so much pain and why he is not allowed to tell anyone about it.

Vivien Panturu

2020-09-30 17:58:05 UTC

1.) Jonas was beginning to question whether all the adults in the community were allowed to lie.
2.) The possibility that all adults are allowed to lie and the controlling-community are showing that this "perfect society" could actually be a Dystopian society.
3.) I wonder what will happen to Jonas during his training with the current Receiver.

morgan lester

morganlester0969 — 2020-09-30 17:58:49 UTC

1- at the end of chapter 9, Jonas is starting to question if the adults around him ever lied.

2-  an element of a dystopian society that has been added to the plot is someone having more power than another individual. this is bad because if one person has more power than another person this means that the people in the society are not completely equal.

3- as a reader I wonder how the other 12's feel about Jonas getting selected as the new receiver of memory.

Becca Graeser

rebeccagraeser8293 — 2020-09-30 17:59:50 UTC

1)Jonas is wondering if he can do the job now. He is losing courage because he has to go through physical pain and the last receiver who failed was never seen again.
2)One element is control. The government has a lot of rules because they want to control the society. They don't let the people see color because they want everyone to be the same, they don't want anybody to be different. This is their perfect society but it is very controlling to the point where people can barely have their own opinions without having to apologize for their vocabulary they use.
3) I wonder if Jonas is going to ask about the girl (the last receiver) who failed at her job. I wonder if he is going to ask where she went, what was her name, and what did she do?

Emerson Rico

2020-09-30 18:01:15 UTC

1. Jonas is beginning to question now that if everyone who became a Twelve had the same rule on their sheet that they were given permission to lie. He never thought anyone ever lied to him, so now he wonders if everything he receives is the truth or a lie
2. Jonas is now allowed to break some of the rules and lie
3. Why is Jonas given exceptions to the rules only because he has an important assignment?

Evan Smola

2020-09-30 18:02:31 UTC

1 - Jonas is beginning to question whether all adults in the community lie.
2 - Jonas is starting to not trust people and feel the uncertainty of what could be going on behind the scenes in this society to make it "Utopian" and what makes the society "dystopian".
3 - I wonder what could be going on behind the scenes if adults are allowed to lie about their day what they do. I wonder if Jonas's own parents are lying to him. And finally I wonder why the rules for receiver of memory permit Jonas to do things he couldn't before.

Abby Warren

2020-09-30 18:03:06 UTC

1. Jonas is beginning to question if the adults can lie or if it is just him who could lie. He is now wondering if his parents had told him any lies.
2. Some elements like total government control and the "perfect society" is what the author is now adding. At the start of the story there where hints about the government control but it wasn't that big or bad. Now it seems that the story is getting darker and everything is not as it seems in the community. Also, the community is suppose to be a perfect society with no differences between everyone. and everyone is treated fairly. Now. Jonas can see that everyone is different, 🤬 the other people just do not see the differences.
3. Now I wonder what more can Jonas see with his ability to see beyond and how physical pain has to do with traning.

Abigail Onodipe

2020-09-30 18:05:02 UTC

1.What happened to the other receiver and where did she go?
How is he going to be able to follow some of the rules, like not being able to take medicine, even though the Receiver will go through a lot of physical pain?
2. The Twelves who just got their assignments now have many more rules that they have to follow. This shows a lot of control and many rules that they have to follow.
3. Since there were only 50 jobs, and Jonas got the Receiver, is there a job that wasn't taken?
Have people been lying to him?

Mattie Caldwell

2020-09-30 18:05:58 UTC

1. Jonas is beginning to question if everyone has always been deceiving him and lying to him because in his folder was a set of rules and instructions for him to follow regarding his selection as the Receiver of Memory. One of the instructions was "You may lie", and this makes Jonas question if everyone received this exception. He also wondered if that, if he asked, he would even receive the true answer because they may be able to lie.
2. Some elements of a dystopian society present in the community are the lack of independence of the citizens, like how they don't choose their spouse, job, or even how many children they have. Another example of dystopian characteristics is the "release" of citizens. It's not the fact that they are being released that is troubling, its the fact that no one knows where you go when you are released.
3. As a reader, I wonder what it means to be the Receiver of Memory, and why Jonas will feel physical pain as a result of his training. I also wonder why he is allowed to break so many of the community's rules and ignore some of their traditions.

April Kim

2020-09-30 18:07:04 UTC

1-Jonas is beginning to question whether people talk to him truthfully or not. 2- Some elements are that people are not allowed to lie at all unless their job states that they can. 3- I wonder if people know when someone lies, how do they renforce the rule that people may not lie?

Stephanie Eroh

2020-09-30 18:09:23 UTC

1. Jonas is beginning to question the last rule on his folder, lying. He is concerned that adults have been lying ever since they first got their assignments as well.
2. an element from a Dystopian society that is starting to appear here is that people are given certain abilities that others don't have. For example Jonas is able to be rude if he wants.
3- I wonder what Jonas' assignments entails.

Ansley Bremus

2020-09-30 18:09:31 UTC

1. Jonas is beginning to question if other adults were given permission to lie once they turned twelve and had lied to him.

2. We now know that people in the community don't get to make important life decisions for themselves, like what their job is, and who their spouse is, that's all decided for them. They are also not allowed to lie, even unintentionally, presumably so no one has any secrets and nobody gets upset with anyone for not telling the truth, which would make the community less controlled.

3. I wonder if using medication for anything related to his training somehow affects or gets rid of the memories he receives.

reno

2020-09-30 18:10:30 UTC

He is given a list of rules of what he has to follow and he can lie and now he is questioning if what people are saying to him is a truth or a lie. All of the bad things are happening to the plot like him lying and other people just so much wrong is happening now he feels like. I wonder if Jonas is gonna get everything figured out or if something goes wrong.

Christian Kalarickal

2020-09-30 18:12:19 UTC

1- Jonas is beginning to question if his parents are telling the truth. He doesn’t know if his parents were told that they were allowed to lie also. 2- Their jobs are given to them by the leader of the community. That means that they are controlled by someone. Jonas is told that he is allowed to lie, but he is told not to tell anyone about it. This means he is keeping secrets, and if certain secrets get out then it could lead to something bad, and the leaders shouldn’t be keeping secrets from the community. 3- Was everyone allowed to lie now. Should the receiver of memory be the most important assignment or should it be a disgrace because the failed receiver was a disgrace. Also if the failed receiver was a disgrace, what does that say about the committee and their selection.

luke metz

jonas is a little on edge. he is beginning to qeustion if all adults lie. what happend to the last recever of memory

Jannah Harris 2nd period

2020-09-30 18:28:40 UTC

Jonas is started to question if anyone else has gotten the "you may lie" in their instructions folder as he had gotten. He's wondering if any adults in the community had this option also. I think that one factor of a dystopian society that is being added is the overwhelming amount of control that the elders have on the community. As a reader I do wonder why they are so strict and hard on the community and espcially on the assignments, they treat the assignments as something very important I wonder why.

India Reid

2020-09-30 19:48:55 UTC

1- He's beginning to question the fact about him being the receiver of memory.
2- All the receiver of memory jobs and task
3- I wonder will Jonas ask if he can change his job since he is growing apart from his friends and what his parents said happened to the other girl

Michael moss

2020-09-30 21:53:53 UTC

1. Jonas is beginning to question if everybody else got instructions with their assignment that you could lie, and if everybody did.
2. The fact that the community has a receiver of memory's
3.One thing I wonder now is if when Jonas looked into the crowd at the ceremony of twelve when he looked into the crowd and "changed" was a hint of something going to happen in the future

Devin Williamson

2020-09-30 22:54:18 UTC

Jonas is beginning to question why he thought everybody was the same color, but he seen the same thing happen like with the apple. That he is seeing more than one color or tone of skin so he thinks that all this time there were more than one color or tone of skin. I wonder why they cant see any colors and they thought every one was the same color.

Georgia Vanoy

2020-09-30 23:07:34 UTC

Jonas is starting to question what and how hes supposed to do things now that he has a different assignment than everyone else. The elements that are being added on is that he has new and different rules than everyone else which can be/is really good.As the reader i wonder what Jonas is going to do now and how he will impact many things in the society.

Esther Oguntade

2020-10-01 01:40:37 UTC

1.He is beginning to think that will he lie or ask rude things.
2. He can lie and be rude and he is also set apart from others.
3.I wonder why he is going to have physical pain and I also wonder why he can lie.

Connor Blake

2020-10-01 02:12:58 UTC

1 Can his parents lie and is he the right person for the job.2 About the amount of pain the elder can not describe to him because it is .3 What is the unimaginable pain that he has to go through.

Luke Metz

2020-10-01 03:35:26 UTC

Jonas is beginning to question if all adults lie, what kind of pain will he have,why can he lie. The elements of dystopia added into the plot by the author can be shown when the rules he was givein says he can lie but noone else can. Also he can ask a question and they have to give an awser. That is unjust and unfair. i wonder if Jonas will end up breaking free.

Elijah Monroe

2020-10-01 04:21:57 UTC

Jonas is starting to question why he is just now feeling different. The author has showed us that this is a "Perfect society" even though jonas is realizing he's not perfect. What jonas will do and think now that he starts to think and realize that he's not perfect and that he's different.
