Red Block- Indirect Characterization by Tara Beaudry https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i Post your quote to show what Jonas is like at the beginning of the book. en-us 2016-11-03 17:04:43 UTC 2016-12-03 15:43:01 UTC hello@padlet.com Tara Beaudry tara_beaudry https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135629639 "This evening he would have almost preferred to keep his feelings hidden. But it was, of course, against the rules" (Lowry 9).          Jonas is OBEDIENT because he follows the strict rules of the community at all times. ]]> 2016-11-06 19:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135629639 Ryan Hammond https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135827352 " Lily followed behind, but she glanced back over her shoulder at Jonas and teased, "Maybe he had the same birth mother as you." Jonas shrugged" (Lowry 20).
Jonas is easygoing because he did not care when Lily said that.]]> 2016-11-07 16:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135827352 Ben Garozzo https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135827360 "Jonas slowed the strokes of his on her back thoughtfully. "Larissa" he asked, "What happens when they make the actual release? Where did Roberto go?" (Lowry 32). This quote shows that Jonas is CURIOUS because he is wondering where the people go when they get released.     ]]> 2016-11-07 16:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135827360 Sophia de Beco https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135827459 Jonas shook his head. "Asher and I will always be friends," he said firmly. "And there will still be school." (Lowry 18, Online Version)
Jonas is DETERMINED because he thinks he knows that he will always be friends with Asher and that there will still be school, when that could change at any time.

Jonas is CURIOUS because he took the apple home to study it more even though he was breaking the rules. He brought it home because it changed in the air.]]> 2016-11-07 16:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135827599 Evan Munuz https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135827648 ¨The area of dwellings behind him, Jonas rode past the community structures, hoping to spot Asher´ś bike parked beside one of the small factories or office buildings¨ (Lowry 27). Jonas is lonely because he is looking for his friend when he could be doing anything else. ]]> 2016-11-07 16:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135827648 Madeleine Hoffman https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135827681 "Jonas was careful about language. Not like his friend Asher, who talked too fast and mixed things up, scrambling words and phrases until they were barely recognizable and often very funny." ( Lowry 3) 
                    Jonas is CAUTIOUS because he is cautious about what he says and makes sure that his words are straightforward and not messed up. This could also mean that Jonas may not have been as funny, or maybe a little stuck up. either. I think this because the quote is comparing it to Asher and he always says funny, scrambled words, unlike Jonas. ]]> 2016-11-07 16:14:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135827681 Katy Klein  https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135827710 "I'll just start the water and then help you up." He helped the woman from the chair, led her to the tub, removed her robe, and steadied her with his hand on her arm as she stepped in and lowered herself. (Lowry 30) Jonas is KIND because he is helping a elderly woman bathe. I think this shows how he is kind.

(Lowry 9) I think that Jonas was stressed and worried in the beggining of the book because the ceremony of 12 is coming up.]]> 2016-11-07 16:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135830123 Rina Canute                                  https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135830176 " He probably should have brought up his felling  of bewilderment that very evening when the family unit had shared their feelings of that day.  But he had not been able to sort out and put words  to the source of his confusion, so he had to let it pass." 

Jonas follows the rules, he only says something when someone else says something. He knows when to say stuff.  He reads the room.

He had tossed it several times across the room, watching, and then rolled it around on his desktop, waiting for the thing to happen again". (Lowry 25)
Jonas is CURIOUS. He wants to find out the secrets of his life, but he doesn't want to get into big trouble doing it.]]> 2016-11-07 16:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135830763 https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135831092 2016-11-07 16:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135831092 Didi Carty https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135831373 "and Jonas had simply never bothered to look at himself very very often even when he found himself in a location where a mirror existed".( lowry 21)

This is showing that jonas does not care about his looks. Even though there are not mirrors in the community when he sees one he doesn't even bother to look at himself.  This is showing that he is not insecure about himself. ]]> 2016-11-07 16:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135831373 Yasmin Gabrielli https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135832021 Jonas is CURIOUS, "Jonas was glad he had, over the years, chosen to do his hours in a variety of places so that he could experience the difference", he is CURIOUS ]]> 2016-11-07 16:23:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135832021 Jay Sao https://padlet.com/tara_beaudry/6qp1dhnryo8i/wish/135832907 “I know there is nothing really to worry about” Jonas exclaimed.” (Lowry 9)
