    1.To me it feels good to be different because your a unique person.It is a new sensation for Jonas because in his twelve years of life he felt seperate.The people moved aside for him. They watched him and showed him respect.

    2.Jonas have to go immediately at the end of school hours each day to the annex entrance behind the house of the old and present himself to the attendant
    -He have to go immediately to his dwelling at the conclusionof Training hours each day.
    -He cannot discuss his training with any other member from the community.
    -Jonas is able to lie.
    -And he is not permitted to apply for release
    -He connot aply for any medication.The rules are puzzling to him because he was stunned. Jonas was also worried because he wanted to figure out what will happen to his friendships,his mindless hours playing ball,or either riding his bike along the river.

    Jonas noticed that in each dwelling tonight they would studyingthe instructions for the beginning of their training.and he have to go immediately to his dwelling at the conclusion of training hours each day.

    4.It will involve lots of work,business and commitment.It is important to save the memories because you keep everything in your mind or in a file even if ur memories are good, bad, sad, happy, watever it is.You can always keep it with you. Even when you lost someone and you want to keep them close.You will have a picture of them or know more about there life because you saved the memories.

    1. To me its good to be different because if you did something wrong in your life or need someone to notice you, then you change and leave that old selve in the past. For Jonas a new sensation has taking him because Jonas felt separated, different. In the beggining of chapt 9 it says "He remembered what the chief Elder had said: that his training would be alone and apart. The training have not start and he feels apartness. Others in community treat him with respect because he got special job of Receiver of memmory and thats important job in the community.

    2. Jonas' instructions for his Receiver training is:
    *Go immediately at the end of school hours each day to the Annex
    entrance behind the house of the old and present yourself to the
    attendant.
    *Go Immediately to your dwelling at the conclusion of training
    hours each day.
    *You are are exempted from rules governing rules and ask any
    questions of any citizen and you will receive answers.
    *Do not discuss your training with other member of the community
    or parents and Elders
    *Prohibited from dream-telling.
    *illness or injury unrelated to your training, do not apply for
    any medication.
    *Not permitted to apply for release.
    * You may Lie.
    This rules puzzled Jonas because he was stunned because he was taught not to do these things as kids like you may lie or exempted from rules and governing rudeness, this rules told him that he could do it. This shocked him, what kind of job is this?

    3.Jonas' was amazed when he entered Receiver of memmory's dwelling like the doors were locked in the community and it was for his privacy. When he hurried through door he found himself in living area like he's own home. Also he saw tons of books on shelfs that Jonas' had ever seen and some he had never known existed.

    4.Jonas' position as Receiver of Memmory's is training hard, work, and memmory. Its important to save momories because you keep everything in your mind like your family or loss of people you loved a long time ago that you adored alot. Even though those memories were harsh in your life, sad or maybe happy. Its important to keep them inside your mind even though you have picture or letter from them, you will still adore them in your memmories.

    1:In my opinion it feels grate to be different because The world would be boring if we were all the same.AlsoIt's good to be different because if you weren't different, you'd be the same. Do you really want to be the same as everybody else? You are different for a reason and the reason is this: Everybody is different in their own way, even though it might seem that some people aren't, they are, they just haven't figured out exactly who they are, so they copy somebody else because they're afraid to show their true self, but if you are "different", that just means that you do know who you are and you know exactly what you believe in and you should stick to it. So that's why it's good to be different. It is a new sensation for Jonas at the start of Chapter 9 because he is gaining the experience of the sensations. He also gains the ability to read and keep books around. In addition he will be allowed privacy.People treat him differently now, like he is special.

    2:Jonas is given these rules to follow:

    1. Go immediately at the end of school hours each day to the Annex entrance behind the House of the Old and present yourself to the attendant

    2. Go immediately to your dwelling at the conclusion of Training Hours each day

    3. From this moment you are exempted from rules governing rudeness. You may ask any question of any citizen and you will receive answers

    4. Do not discuss your training with any other member of the community, including parents and Elders

    5. From this moment you are prohibited from dream-telling

    6. Except for illness or injury unrelated to your training, do not apply for any medication

    7. You are not permitted to apply for release

    8. You may lie
    -The rules are so puzzling to him because he cant go to school and he also never lie before in his life and one of the rules are that he got to lie.

    3: Jonas notice about the Receiver of Memory's dwelling thatIt is surrounded by lots and lots of books.

    4:Jonas' position as Receiver of Memory will involve work,braveness,and business also smartness. According to the novel, however, memory is essential. The Committee of Elders does recognize the practical applications of memory,if you do not remember your errors, you may repeat them,so it designates a Receiver to remember history for the community. But as Jonas undergoes his training, he learns that just as there is no pain without memory, there is also no true happiness.

    1.Instead of feeling left out you feel like if you are better than anyone else. It’s the type feeling I have because I am Hondurian/Guatemalan and everyone else is nearly the same. He has the feeling like everyone is counting on him and the chief elder said that he will now be apart from everyone else. Now they make room for him when he passes by. People stand up when he comes.
    2.His rules were:
    a) At the end of school he will report to the annex entrance behind the house of the old.
    b) Go immediately to your dwelling at the conclusion of Training Hours each day.
    c) He will not have to follow the rules of rudeness. He may ask any question and receive an answer.
    d) He may not tell what happened at training.
    e) No dream-telling
    f) Do not apply for any medication
    g) No release
    h) He may lie
    The rules are puzzling to him because now he will lie, he cannot talk to anyone about his training.
    3.It is the same as his dwelling. It is like his room.
    4.He will have the memories of others. He will have to save the memories of other people out of the community.

    1) To feel different is like being you, I do not like being like everone else I like to be ME, it is awesome to be different so be it.
    It a new sensation for Jonas at the start of Chapter 9 because he is gaining the experience for the job also it is someing new for him.
    Others people now treat Jonas like he deserve like a men, he work for what he wants. I will treat Jonas like a man he earned it.

    2) Jonas has to follow these rules
    Jonas is able to lie.
    He is not permitted to apply for release
    Jonas cannot apply for any medication.
    Except for illness.
    The rules are so puzzling to Jonas because he don't know what is going to happened to his friends and family, if I was Jonas I will be worried.

    3) Jonas notice that the Receiver of Memory's dwelling is to read lots of lots of books everday.

    4)Jonas' position as Receiver of Memory involve being smart and knowing how to count money. Being a receiver of memory is a hard work because you have all the money of the community.It is important to save the memories because you have something to remember from and see what when to it who when to it and how we when to it.

    1. I think to be different is great because you dont have to be like others your outstanding , you stand out and its the best . A new sensation for jonas is that he is twelve and he feels seperate. Others watched him and and showed him respect .

    2.Jonas instructions for his receiver training is
    -' Jonas had to go after school hours each day straight to the annex entrance behind the house of the old and present himself to the attendant .
    -'He had to go immediately to his dwelling at the conclusion of training hours each day.
    -' He cant NOT discuss his training with other member of the community or parents and elders.
    -'Not permitted to apply for release.
    The rules were puzzling to him because he is told not to do some of the rules all his life when he was young and all of a sudden since he has this new assignment he can do somethings that he couldn't do before so he is shocked.

    3. Jonas was suprised about the receiver of memory because they had its on space and the doors were locked for his own privacy.

    4.Jonas' position as Receiver of Memory will involve work,braveness,business and smartness. It is important to save memory because once something happens it can be anything once you will remeber it and there will come a time where something similar happens you will refer back to what happen before.

    1. In my opinion, it is good to be different because it makes you one of a kind out of others. For example, Jonas felt seperate in his twelve and right now everyone respect him.

    2. Some rules were that he was not allow to apply for release. Jonas was allow to lie and he is wooried about his friendship and all the fun activaties.

    3. Jonas notice that they would studied the instructions for the beginning of their training and to be there on time.

    4. I would say it involves alot of hard work. It is important to keep your memories because it will help him remeber his past and the fun he had.

    1. I think it feels good to be different because you have your own ways and own things that you do better than everyone else. you can be better then other people in sports, or activities.The world would be boring if everyone were good at everything. The sensation for jonas at the begining of chapter 9 was that he is becomeing a grown up and now everyone is counting him. They treat him with respect because he becoming a elder.

    2. Jonas instructions for his reciever training is that he has to go immediately to his dwelling at the xonclusion of training hours each day, he cannot discuss his training with anyone in the community, he also cannot apply for relase. It is puzzling to him because all the things that he's not suppose to do, he can do.

    3. He noticed that he would every night he would need his privacy tostudy the training.

    4. he job would involve hard working citizenship and bravness. It is important to keep your memories because if someone in your family had past away you would remeber all the good times you had with him or her.
