Has she had any experiences that she could share with you about the consequences of making the wrong choice?

You don't gain anything by making the wrong choices you lose things by making the wrong choices. I made a wrong choice by lieing to my mom and she made me wright 100 times I will not lie. I also had to wright a two page esay. Do you have any experiences in making wrong choices you made and what consequences did you get andwhat did you learn from them.

1. How would you describe release in Jonas’s community?How would you feel if release occurred in your community? What would be the pros and cons of having release?

It's happy for release because you get to get out of there. I would feel sad because you wont be able to come back again. The good part is you will do things you never been able to do in the community. The bad part is you will never be able to come back ever again and you can never see you're family agian.


2. Jonas says that it is better to talk about ways people are the same instead of different. Why do you think he feels this way? If you and all of your classmates felt this way, how would your class/classroom be different than it is now? Would people be different? How?

He think's this way because is it not right to mack fun of other people tthat is different then you. It would be different because no one will be saying bad things about other people. Yes, people would be different. A person could be small a person could be big no matter how big,small,fat or skinny we are all alike in some way. You proberly don't know it but you are all the same in a way.

No because You have to pay bills and you don't get to play after you get you're homework done.
Being an adult is not fun as being a kid you getting to go to the park, go to you're grandparents house, go to the swiming pool with you grandparents life will not be fun as an a adult than it is when you are a kid.

I think people that are wise probably have more wisdom than a person that is intelligent. I also think a person that is intelligent has more intelligent in school than in the world. Intelligence and Wisdom are different than they are alike.

Chapters 1-3 ( Paige )

After reading chapters 1-3, answer the following questions.
1. At the end of the evening meal, each person in the community must share his feelings with the members of his family unit. What is significant about this ritual? Does your family have any rituals? If so, explain.
My family does now have any rituals, exspecially not like that. I think that it is significant because people say not to bottle up emotions inside of you or you'll go crazy so it's really significant to shra ebad feelings and good feelings too.

2.What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of being given a lifetime job? Your blogging buddy may have some knowledge about this topic because she probably has a job or has in the past. Ask her what she thinks are advantages and disadvantages to this type of system.
Well, a advantage is that you will never have to go looking for a job or get rejected from a job if you're are doing poorly because they pick out a special job that is just right for you. A disadvantage I think is that if you're not really satisfied or having a hard time or don't like your job you can't switch...

3. Do you think public humiliation is a good method of punishment? Why or why not? Ask your blogging buddy what her opinion is.
I do not like public humiliation because not everyone needs to know that you did something bad or wrong. But if the thing that they did was really bad and they need to be really punished it would be a good method of punishment.
