Sameness- Everyone in Jonas' world is the same they know its a rule to not be different but Jonas is very different, by the way he thinks and also his appearance.
Ignorance- The fact that they don't know a world outside of their own is crazy. They don't know anything else but what they have been forced to know.
Pain- No one is this world knows pain, they have always been cared for and never had to worry about anything, if they lose a child all they have to do is sign a form to get a "new" one.
Release- This isn't just any word we think that they mean they are taken out of the community but it really means death. They don't want the community to know what really goes on because if they did there would be the pain that isn't "allowed".
I like this post. I think you depict the book very well in the 5 words you chose. And the cartoon above is pretty funny! For us those are things that have always been that way. We're used to it.
ReplyDeletethese words are great examples and give me a good sense of the story. Good job.
ReplyDeleteThe last word is really important, I agree. Not only does it show how they fool themselves, but also they don't live in reality. They push away what is painful, like losing a loved one and keep themselves in denial. Good post./lm
