  1. 1:What frightened Jonas was that it said you may lie.One reason why It frightened him is because Jonas has never lied before.

    2: The 2 lessons that Jonas learned about the sun were pleasure and pain.

    3:Jonas' relationship with his parents and friends changed after he received his life assignment because he was now 'knowing'. He was experiencing things they weren't experiencing such as colour, war, emotions, pain, etc. He used to think his world was perfect and now he realized the problems with that. He was different than the society he was living in so he couldn't relate with his friends and family any longer. It was because he was 'the chosen one' that he stood out from the rest. He was different from his friends and family for he no longer preceived things like he used to.

    4:Fiona because he likes her and he want to find out what her dreams or memories is about.

  2. 1. One duty the frightened Jonas' was pain and no need of medication. This frightened him because he doesn't know what are they going to do with him that is going to consider pain.

    2. The lesson that Jonas learn about the sun is pain. He knew he was brave to take this memorie but it hurt for jonas' and the memorie was about getting a sunburn and I Know that really hurts. But he met be at a risk because his training is going to get heavyer and challenging. This was only little pain but what other memories come ahead.

    3. After Jonas' received his Life Assignment he experienced things that he never saw or did like he is seeing a red color in his memorie and vision. Also feeling pain in his training with The Giver. Now Jonas' is seeing-beyond onto people and the world. He started seeing the world wasn't perfect like his community. Also his relationship with his family wasn't the same because he needed to consitrate on his job more and needed to follow those rules for the receiver of Memory.

    4. I think the memories that he wants to receive is knowing more of the people memories in the community because if some of them have a bad or sad memorie. Jonas' can take that memorie away to make them better.

      I agree with your first answer because it is true that he is frightened about the pain that is going to endure . He is worried, confused, and curious because he doesn't know what is going to happen to him. You are correct.
