The memory of warfare is shocking for Jonas and really affects him. If you were suddenly drafted into the military and surrounded by some of your fellow troop members being killed, how would you respond? What would you do to try and keep your insanity?
Ch 16:
The memories that Jonas has have transformed him from a naive child to an adult. How is this like the change from elementary school to middle or high school?

I chose Chap. 16's question.
ReplyDeleteI think the change from childhood to being a responsible adult is giant and still very different than the mere change of kindergarden to school to middle school. But there are many similarities, and especially by the expectations. When Jonas was a child, he had no responsibilities, except coming to school and being a good student. But now that Jonas is an "adult", he is responsible for keeping the memories of the whole community. The small change from school to middle school, is nothing compared to that. But it is still a big change that happens in a short moment, a sudden change of a childs life.
I chose chapter 15's questions
ReplyDeleteI think that at the beginning I would be very sad and maybe cry. Then I'll try to reconsider and to go back to fight because there's a reason that we fight and that some people lost their lives, and I probably should help so no other people will hurt. When I'll think about that it will keep my insanity.
If I was suddenly drafted into the military and surrounded by some of your fellow troop members being killed I would freak out. I would fall silent, just staring at the dying people. Do not understand what happening .Don't know what to do is. After a while, I'll try to get help, try to do something. I would try to keep insanity by maybe drinking water, telling myself relaxing things, to calm myself down.
ReplyDeletech 15. If I was suddenly drafted into warfare I would start panicking not knowing what to do but after a few minutes of me trying to grasp what exactly was going on I would try to run away from the front lines and call the remain survivors to come with me to save their lives.

ReplyDeleteI think that the change jonas had is similar to the change from elementary school to middle school because when you go to middle school you feel much maturer and you more grown up. Being in middle school makes you feel more responsible like the change happened to jonas, after jonas discovered the new facts and experienced the dreems and memories he felt he has the responsibility to make sure that those thing will not be kept in secret anymore and to tell the truth to the community.

ReplyDeleteIf I would be in the military and would be in a similar situation that joinas was in, I would give my water to the people who are dying, and try to bring them to the doctord who would take care of them.

ReplyDeleteI think that the change is tough. you have to acclimatize to the new place. you need to meet new people and make new friends. changes are hard, but they're sometimes good for you.
I choose chapter 16.
ReplyDeleteI think that the change is big, suddenly you are not one of the big kids in school and it is hard to except that. You need to make friends and be nice to people even though it is easier to say than do. Slowly you will get use to this feeling even if you had a ruff start.

ReplyDeleteIf I was drafted into the military and was surrounded by some of my troop members being killed, I would probably stand there in shock, not knowing what to do. Then I would hate myself for the rest of my life for standing in shock instead of helping those troop members who were about to die. It would be very traumatic for me and I wouldn't be able to sleep for a long time after that and every time I would fall asleep i would get horrible nightmares. I really don't know how Jonas was able to continue living his life normally, I would be really depressed and traumatized after that. Maybe he handled it so well because it didn't really happen to him, it was another person's memory, like when you have a nightmare and you can tell yourself "It's just a dream."
Chapter 15:
ReplyDeleteIf I was dradted into the military and if I was surrounded by my friends' dead bodies I would do anything to revenge for my friends' deaths and I would shoot the enemy and try to kill them no natter what the situation is or how many people are there with me.
Ch 15:
ReplyDeleteIf I was drafted into the military and surrounded by my friend's bodies, I would be shocked and I would not believe it happened and i would just close my eyes and wait.
It would be very traumatic and I think i won't stop thinking and dreaming about it every night for probably about 5 years.
Chapter 15- If I would ever suddenly be drafted into the military, watching my own friends die in front of my eyes I know I would probably sit there with the paralyzing shock and agony, crying until there are no tears left for me, reaching the point of insanity. But deep somewhere, I guess I would know that even if it is terrible, pain and death do take part in our life, an unavoidable one actually, and even though I were one of the people to watch such a horrible event happening, I will forever remember what happened and my fallen "fellow troop members", but not to mourn about for all my life - but to accept the pain, let it live within me for the sake of being stronger, and learning to fight it.

The change from childhood to an adoult is very big. You must deal the situation that you are not a little guy enymore. there is alot of responsibility when you are becoming a teenager, especially when you are moving to middle school. there are alot of new kids, and suddnenly you relize that you are not the biggest student in the school. You need to show Maturity and to be friendley to the other students, and sometimes it is not so easy.

ReplyDeleteIf I found myself in the army, surrounded by my friends bodies I would first run for safety. If I would make it alive out of there and all of my friends will be dead, I will try to get new friends to keep my insanity.
CH 15
ReplyDeleteif i was in a situation like in jonas's memory, i would call a doctor and try to cover the injured soldiers until the doctor will come.
CH 15
ReplyDeleteIf I was suddenly drafted into the army and I was surrounded by dead people I would probably want to run away as quickly as I can to some other place because of the shock. Then I will try to return and fight so I can try to rescue some of the wounded soldiers that are still alive.
Ch. 15
ReplyDeleteI would run for my life, and try to forget everything. If I couldn't forget, I would learn how to live with that at a psychologist
Chapter 16:
ReplyDeleteJonas's sudden change from a naive child to an adult is similar to a change from elementary school to middle school in that that in both of them you're passing a and you be responsible and not only for yourself but also to other people, in both changes the child passes maturing confident and graduated.
ch 16:
ReplyDeleteIt is like the change from elementry to middle school because jonas now is more responsible and has to make his own decisions.
