ReplyDelete2. I think they skip number nineteen because maybe the community have a really special assignment that no other 12 will get and was the only choosing one to get and i think they will call him last. Well I don't what kind of assignment he will get but I say its going to be a good one!
Hey Richie, I agree with opinion on that, they skipped Jonas cause he got a special assignment.

1. The numbers are given when your born, its "arranged by their original numbers". They really don't use them after their given their name. They're only use when a child's misbehaving.
ReplyDelete2. I assume that they skipped Jonas number because they are giving him a rare and unique assignment. I guess that they're gonna call him last. (Thats why they say; Save the best for last). I'm not gonna guess what assignment he got because i all really know.

Delete1.The numbers there given had been given to them at birth.the numbers were not really used after all there naming. The adults usually uses them when there kids are misbehaving.
ReplyDelete2.In my opinion I think the reason they skipped Jonas number was because they are going to give him a special assignment.One that noone ever had.
Hey Hennessie, I like how you explain that adults usually uses their number because that is true in this kind of community they do use it.Also I like how you said that it was a special assignment because it is.His assignment was new Receiver which was a important assignment in that community.Lastly, good job and you also had good examples.
Delete1. The Numbers Each Person Haves Means The Order That They Were Born That Year They Was Born For Example In The Text It States " He Had Been The Nineteenth New Child Born His Year" The Text Clearly Supports My Answer.
ReplyDelete2. In Opinion I Think They Skipped Number Nineteen Because Maybe Jonas Had The Best Assignment Like He Thought And So The Chief Elder Decided To Call His Number Last. I Think That Jonas Going To Get An Assignment Just Not At That Moment. From What I Read So Far About Jones Throughout The Chapters I Think He Going To Get The Assignment Of Being A Lawyer Or A Person Who Make The Announcements Or Apart Of An Assignment Very Important.
#1 The numbers means that they were a certain number that was born out of all the children in the community.
ReplyDelete#2 Number nineteen was skipped because Jonas has been chosen working in an assignment that was very rare. Since they only had one reciever for a very long time then they decided that Jonas will be determined to be trained well and be a good reciever.
Hey Alejandra, yea the assignment they gave Jonas is rare. Its also unexpected.
Delete1. The number of each child mean the order that they were born. he was born he was the nineteenth new child in his year.
ReplyDelete2. I think they skipped him cause the community must have something planed for him like a assigned part they want him to do but they did not get the chance to go over it.
1) The numbers that they have are the numbers that they have received at birth. The parents only call them by there numbers when they dont have a name to call them and they are highly upset at that child.
ReplyDelete2) I think that they skipped him because they want to save the best for last. Also I think they skipped him because I think that they are going to give him a special celebration.

Delete2.I think they skipped Jonas because they have a very special assignment or a really bad one.So I guess Jonas is the last one to get his assignment.

ReplyDelete1)It was the number they got at birth, so there were 18 kids born before Jonas so he would be the 19th child. That is where their numbers come from. Then their year is put before the number. After the Ceremony of Twelve most isn't really nessecary to have your number because you could remember it.
ReplyDelete2)The number 19 was skipped because this was Jonas' number.In ch 8 it stated " His number was skipped because the new Receiver of Memories is always given a special chant when his assignment is announced.So his new assignment was new Receiver.In my opinion I think this was a important assignment because it wasgiven a special chant.
1# what The numbers mean for each the person is the number that they are giving when they are born, because in the story Lois Lowry status that"they were arranged by their original numbers,the numbers they had been given at birth.The numbers were rarly uaed after the Naming."
ReplyDelete2# I think they skipped number Nineteen because they are going to give Jonas's a special assignment to him.I think what will happen to Jonas regarding his Assignment is that he is going to be giving a more challenging and more difficult assignment.I think Jonas's eill be giving the assignment of receiver of memory.
1. The number of each person represent the 'naming'. The numbers were given at birth until they found a name for the child. For example, in the text it states "They were arranged by their original numbers, the numbers they had been given at birth. the numbers were rarely used after the Naming." This text shows that each child had a number until they were named. Also, they had to know their number.
ReplyDelete2.In my opinion, I think that number nineteen was skipped because he wasn't maybe ready for his assignments. I think that Jonas might get releasedfrom the community because in the book they say that they will release those that don't have an assignments. If Jonas had a assignment I would say that he would still take care of the old because he knows the routine and he is good.
Good Job on these two questions...I enjoyed reading the comments you had for each other. Keep up the good work!
