When Jonas reflects on the time that Asher was late to class. 
This shows the reader the importance of rules in the community and the difference between Asher and Jonas]]> 2017-11-13 10:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/206151577 https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/206527727 Memory Moment
pg 23-24
This is a memory moment when Jonas remembers a time that he saw a change in an apple. He reflects on how he saw change, but his friend did not. He found this to be interesting and brought it home without consent. This is important because it further shows that Jonas is different, because he can see certain changes while others cannot.]]> 2017-11-13 23:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/206527727 gmca5662 https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/206528100 Again and Again
pg. 20
The author talks about Gabriel the baby many times. For example, Lily said that Jonas and Gabriel have the same light tone of eyes. We think that the people in Jonas world can't see color, But Jonas and Gabriel seem to be different, and can see a little bit of color.

pg 31
The phrase "released" has been repeated several times in the story, maybe this phrase is hinting at something more important in the story.]]> 2017-11-13 23:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/206528129 https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/206530659 Memory Moment
pg 37
Jonas has a flashback to when he heard the speaker talk about the stirrings and how they must be treated for it. He currently knows that stirrings are things that can happen to him as well and learn he has to take pills for it.]]> 2017-11-14 00:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/206530659 https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207523139 Memory Moment
pg 55
Jonas has a flashback to when Asher had made a error with his choice of words, resulting in multiple smacks on Asher's hands. This shows how the community they are in has strict rules especially for the words people use and the language.]]> 2017-11-16 04:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207523139 https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207524000 Again and Again
pg 63
Jonas saw color again when he was on the stage getting his assignment, just like when he saw color while he was throwing the apple. The idea of color and change comes out repeatedly in the story and is hinting that something important related with color will appear in the story later on.]]> 2017-11-16 05:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207524000 https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207524829 AHA Moment
pg 55
When Asher was younger, he used to confuse two words: smack and snack. He got punished whenever he said he wanted a smack instead of snack and he realized the importance of words in this society and stopped talking to prevent it. This moment helped Asher talk with greater precision and develop himself.]]> 2017-11-16 05:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207524829 https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207524908 Again and Again
pg 53
The author consistently writes that everyone is pleased with their jobs that they are given. I think that the author mentions that everyone is happy to further depict that the citizens believe they are in an utopia. Although, we disagree that the setting is a utopia, for them it would feel like a utopia by getting a job you liked selected for you.]]> 2017-11-16 05:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207524908 gmca5662 https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207524917 AHA Moment
pg. 37, 38
They talk about stirrings; which is to get over excited, and to reduce arousal they take pills, we think this is not a good reason why they should take the pills, it could severely harm them later on their lives. ]]> 2017-11-16 05:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207524917 https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207525212 AHA Moment
pg 24
Jonas realized that something had changed to the apple while he was playing catch with Asher. This contributes to the theme of the story since it is the first time Jonas realizes or notices that he is different from other people and could see the change they couldn't.]]> 2017-11-16 05:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207525212 https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207525817 Again and Again
pg 56
Throughout the book, we notice some jobs that are not common in our society. For instance, birthmothers and caretaker of the old. The jobs of giving birth to all the children in the society and bathing old people is not common in the world we live in. A possible reason for this to be written could be to show how the two worlds are different. The author wants to portray a different dystopia rather than what we live in today.]]> 2017-11-16 05:28:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207525817 https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207526256 Aha Moment
pg 57
In this part, Jonas realizes that he is skipped during the Ceremony of Twelves. The fact that he is different is consistent throughout the book. For example, his eyes can see some color. As Jonas says, the Chief Elder makes no mistakes, so this moment could be important, as he might be selected for a "unique" job or might not even get a job at all.]]> 2017-11-16 05:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207526256 https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207527600 Aha Moment
pg 60
This is the part when Jonas realizes he has been selected (not assigned) as the next receiver of memory. This is important because he will be trained without others and will be separated. It further shows how he is unique in the society. From this moment forward, Jonas is not just another 12, but a receiver of memory and is very important. ]]> 2017-11-16 05:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kcallahan3/4r6q84qqlpac/wish/207527600
