1) Some values that the book's society embrace and encourage are that they have alot of rules and that whenever there is a ceremony they take that as a celebration.
ReplyDelete2) Interdependece is a relation between its members such that each is mutually dependent on the others.
3) The difference between loss and release are that when you are released you are sent elsewhere but with the loss that means that somebody had or has passed away and they are sayin there last goodbye's. I think that the author is tryin to tell us that there is a real big difference between loss and release.
4) The author build's the interest in jonas's ceremony of twelve by stating some of the things that will come once he becomes 12. For example, one is that they will consider him as an adult and more mature.
I agree with you because Interdependece does mean how one and another feel and think about each other.
DeleteHey Gabby, I like how you answered all your questions and how you stared.You also gave an example for question 4 you said that they will consider him as an adult and more mature which is true because now he will become 12 and he also is going to get a new assignment.Lastly, I like how you describe the different s of loss and release.Those two worlds are important to know in this kind of community that Jonas and his family are living.

ReplyDelete1:The values advocated and embraced by the society in the book are "sameness" and control. Every aspect of the people's lives are controlled, even down to their emotions. They are given pills in order to suppress their emotions. The idea of everyone being 'equal' in a sense, makes for the 'sameness', which is bad because it doesn't allow a sense of individuality. The idea of family is destroyed based on the system of control.
ReplyDelete2:Interdependece is a relation between its members such that each is mutually dependent on the others.When I see the news I see how the army helps one a nother go through battles.Also I see how my mom and dad help each other take care of me and my brother.
3:Release literally means death in Jonas's community, however before Jonas discovers the true identity of release, it means being sent out of the community. While Loss literally means a person who is dead before being released, or a child being lost in the river, as explained on chapter 4.I think the author talks about this because he wants as to know the differends of released and loss in this community.
4:The author build's the interest in jonas's ceremony of twellve because that is were Jonas's is going to get his new assignment.In the story it stated "At the Ceremony of Twelve, Jonas is given the highly honored Assignment of Receiver of Memory. The Receiver is the sole keeper of the community’s collective memory.Also now he is consider an adult and more mature.

ReplyDelete1.Some values that the book's society embrace and encourage are that they have alot of rules to follow and if you break them you will be released.
ReplyDelete2.Independence is the first very visible symbol of growing up. the bicycle. at nine, would be the powerful emblem gradually out into the community, away from the protective family unit.
3.he difference between loss and release is that when you are released you are sent elsewhere but with the loss that means that somebody had or has passed away.
4.The author build's the interest in Jonas ceremony of twelve by stating some of the things that will come once he becomes 12. for example he needs to finish his volunteer hours.
1. The values that the books society embrace is that they have a lot of rules and they have to follow them. And if you break them they would release you. Its like you have to be equal to each other.
ReplyDelete2. Independence is the quality; mutually reliant on each other.
3. The difference between loss and release is that release is when your sent to another community("Elsewhere") and loss is when you passed away.
4. The author build's the interest in Jonas ceremony of 12 by Jonas becoming 12 and him getting his assignment.
# Go Big Blue(Giants)
Hey Natalie, I agree with you because even if the community have to agree to all this rules you have to obey or they will be realeased and its their chose to stay or leave. Like Jonas' he is turning twelve and needs to be more like an adult and if he doesn't want to and like I said its hes chose to leave or stay.
DeleteP.S GO "GIANTS"! OH YEAH!
#1 The values that they embrace is that if the newborn does not grow well they will be released out of the community.Another rule that they follow alot is the volunteer hours when you turn eight.
ReplyDelete#2 Interdependence is dependence between two or more people.This would be like if you are in a relationship with another person then you would want to be independent when you have a discussion with that person.
#3 Loss is when that person dies, which is rare in their community because they were very healthy. Release is when you no longer belong to that community.
#4 She bulds interes because she gives that suspense meaning that she keeps talking about the ceremony but waits a little longer so we would be anxious to hear what his assignment would be.
1: The values of the books society embrace and encourage is that you need to follow all this rules to be in this society or you will be released out the community. Also its your own decision to stay or leave.
ReplyDelete2. Interdependence is dependent on each other, the global nature of human society. Example like I need depend on my father to take care of me and bring food to our house like a guardian should do.
3. The difference between loss and realease is that loss is when someone passed away in the community like Calep a four that wandered away unnoticed,had fallen into a river. A realease is when you no longer belong in the community and its your choose to leave or stay or did everything the community ask you threw out the years and you will be realeased.
4. The author build the interest in jonas' Ceremony of twelve is that he is going to be more like a adult and be more mature. He was scared because he is not allow by the community to hang out with his friends.
Hey Richie, i agree with you cause you need to follow all the rules or you're be release from the community.
DeleteP.S. GIANTS WON!!! Lol
1.The value that they embrace is that they have many rules and if they don't obey they will release them from the community.Some rules that they have to obey I that they can't see anyone naked. Another rule they have to follow is once they turn eight they have to do volunteer hours.
ReplyDelete2.independence is when you don't depend on anyone for help. Fan example, there was a time when my teacher or mom had helped me do my homework. When I started growing up I had do it by myself. This is an clear example of independence.
3.The difference between loss and release is that when you lose someone they die and the difference between release is when the person gets old and you release someone into the community.
4. he builds the interest in jonas ceremony is when she was talking and she stop talking to make people feel like they want here it.
p.s lets go big b!!!!
1.The value that they embrace are the many rules some that they have is stupid cause they said that you can not let nobody ride your bike. And at the age of eleven you have to cut your hair and the girls to.
ReplyDelete2.Independence means that you can do stuff by your self and you do not depend on the people to help you with any thing you can take care of your self.
3. The difference from loss and release is that when you are loss is like you broke out of jail and release means that you are free from jail.
4.His words made it interest by when she made them want to hear it.
1# The value that the book's society embrace is that they had too many rules and it's too strict.
ReplyDelete2# Interdependece:the quality or condition of being interdependent,or mutually reliant on each other.For example when had to do my homework by myself.
3# The difference between loss and release is that when you get release you are let go,but when you are loss you are missing or you are gone.
4# His words made that Jonas' will graduate from 11 to 12 and his will get his jab in the Ceremony of Twelve.
1. The society of this book is strict. They have alot of rules and any time there is a ceremony they do a big celebration.
ReplyDelete2. Interdependence is mutually dependent.
3. I would say that when your realesed that mean that you are sent somewhere else and loss is when someone died or gone. The author is trying to explain that in that community theres alot to understand.
4. The author use exciting words to describe the ceremony. He makes seem like it is real.
1. The values that the book society embrace and encourage are that people must obey rules and if not one must be realeased . They have ceremonies for different ages from eights until twelves .
ReplyDelete2.Interpendence is mutually reliant on eachother .
Example: My siblings always tell me that I rely on my mom and them when I dont but they think that and they tease me about it .
3.The difference between loss and release is that loss is when someone pass away and release is when you have a ceremony and get released to elsewhere .
4.The authors gives details and describes things that happened and shows how the other ages get different things thens others and how turning twelve is a big thing .
1)he society has lots of rules and if you disobay u will get realiest.
ReplyDelete2)The quality or condition of being interdependent, or mutually reliant on each other.EX)When I started playing baseball and I picthed on my own.
3)When you get release you go elsewhere.Lossed is when u get out of the society your self.
4)He bulid intrest becuse he show how Jonas is feeling and stuff like that
1.The book encourage that the people have to obey the rules.if they dont one of them will to be released.
ReplyDelete2.Mutually dependent; depending on each other.
my example is that i am very careful with my mother. we depend on eachother too much
3.The difference between release and loss is that release is when someone gets older and get sent some where else. loss is when someone passed away.
4.The author build the interest in Jonas' Ceremony of Twelve because he showed all of us how Jonas is feeling because it is a big thing and he will get his assignment (job).
1) Jonas assignment that they announced is that he was the recever of memories if.I was Jonas I would want to have his job because he prably got to look at or or hear about people memories.
ReplyDelete2)The qualities that The Cheif Elders that Jonas will need for his new assignment are courage,wisdom,and smartness also braveness.
3)I think Jonas life will changebecause its rare job that will give to a twelve book states he will be in training pravite and not be observed so I think its secret job.
the valuse that the comunity embrass is honesty and the way that its almost perfect
ReplyDeleteInterdependece is a relation between its members such that each is mutually dependent on the others.
