The rules is No hoarding food.You have to tell your feelings at dinner or breakfast. You can't look at the elderly's skin. You can’t get to clingy to a new child that is going to get given to someone else. If you are a girl you can’t have braids at school.
ReplyDeleteIn the morning you always have to tell your feelings to your parents every single morning, if you look at the elderly when they are getting in to the bath you will get in trouble and maybe get punished.
You have to tell your dreams in the morning at breakfast.
4. Telling your dreams in the morning will affect my life because most of the times i don’t have dreams and they are going to tell me to tell them what dream i had and i don’t want to tell them.

ReplyDeleteFemales Under 9 Must Have Hair Ribbons Tied
No Hoarding Snacks
Pilots Are Not Allowed To Fly Over Community
Must Report Stirrings
Only Two Children In Each Family Unit
ATTENTION. THIS IS A REMINDER TO FEMALES UNDER NINE THAT HAIR RIBBONS ARE TO BE NEATLY TIED AT ALL TIMES.-Page 23
ATTENTION. THIS A REMINDER TO MALE ELEVENS THAT OBJECTS ARE NOT TO BE REMOVED FROM THE RECREATION AREA AND THAT SNACKS ARE TO BE EATEN, NOT HOARDED.-Page 23
At first , he had been only fascinated. He had never seen aircraft so close, for it was against the rules for Pilots to fly over the community.-Page 1
ATTENTION. A REMINDER THAT STIRRINGS MUST BE REPORTED IN ORDER FOR TREATMENT TO TAKE PLACE.-Page 37
Two children----one male, one female----to each family unit. It was clearly written in the rules.-Page 8
Rule 1: Hair must be tidy and not messy.
Rule 2: You cannot hoard snacks because that would be unfair.
Rule 3: They are not allowed to fly over the community because they may crash and kill off many.
Rule 4: So the community can control fertility.
Rule 5: So everyone has a fair amount of children.
Rule 1: So females’ hair will always be neat. The rule could benefit us by no more messy and untidy hair for females--I would know, my hair is untidy at many times.
Rule 2: This rule could benefit us so people will learn how to share. That everything is to be shared; not hoarded.
Rule 3: This rule may benefit us so if the plane crashes, no except for the pilot will die.
Rule 4: The benefits if this rule is so they can control population. There won’t be tons of people, but also not very few.
Rule 5: Equality. One word. Everyone who has a family unit will have the same amount of children. No can brag about their family size.

They must follow their numbers, listen to the speakers, can’t have their hair bows untied, they can’t switch bikes with each other, thy have to have their stirrings.
ReplyDeleteI’d been
teaching her to ride mine, even though technically I wasn’t
supposed to.”page number 13.
In my words, they must follow their number rule they shouldn’t go by their numbers.
They have an advantage on the bike rule because nobody can steal your bike.

Six rules in jonas community are 1 you have to do whatever the speakers say. 2 You have to tell your feelings at the dinner table and you dreams when your at the table in the morning. 3 if your late at school you have to tell to the class why and that you are sorry. 4 You can only have one boy and one girl per family unit. 5you have to have your hair ribbons neatly tied at all times.
1. Immediately, the rasping voice through the speakers had said. Leave your bicycles where they are. 2. “ I'm glad you told us of your feelings,’’ Father said. ‘Lily,’ Mother said beckoning to the little girl, ‘Go on now and get your nightclothes’. 3. ‘I apologize to my classmates’ Asher concluded. He smoothed his rumpled tunic and sat down. 4. ‘Maybe we could even keep him,’’ Lily suggested sweetly trying to look innocent. The look was fake, jonas knew; they all knew. ‘Lily,’ Mother reminded her smiling, ‘ you know the rules.’5. ATTENTION. THIS IS A REMINDER TO FEMALES UNDER NINE THAT YOUR HAIR RIBBONS ARE TO BE NEATLY TIED AT ALL TIMES.
The rule you have to follow whatever the speakers say that means to me you have to follow what they say. You do what they say because if you don't you can get punished or hurt. The rule you have to tell your dreams at the dinner table means if you had a dream while you are asleep you share it with your family at the table in the morning. At night you have to tell your feelings at the dinner table because then you family will know how to calm you if your mad or treat you when your happy. You have to apologize to your class so they know that you were not doing something you weren't supposed to do. You also apologize because they rather teach you a learning lesson not to be late then punish you. I feel the rule you can only have two children one girl and one boy is because they don't want overpopulation. I think they also use it because when the parents die the children replace them. The rule girls under 9 have to wear hair ribbons and they have to be neatly tied is so there hair doesn't get messed up. I also think it applies because they want they community to look good.
The first rule do whatever the speakers say could help the community because if there was a tornado coming the speakers would tell them to go inside and take cover so they don't die. Telling your feelings at dinner would be an advantage because your family would know how to help you if your mad. That could be an advantage to the teacher so they know you were not doing something you should not have been doing. Only have one boy and one girl in the family unit would be an advantage to the world so the world does not overpopulate. Having your hair ribbons neatly tied would be an advantage because it would get in your face.

Every night you must tell your feelings to your family.

The rule where you tell your feelings to your to your family might not help the community as much as the other rules but telling your family may help you in some ways.

Rule title 5: Hair Ribbons All females under the age of nine must wear hair ribbons.

Children Limits=pg. 8. “Two children-one male, one female-to each family unit. It was written very clearly in the rules.”
Public Apology=pg. 3. “When the class took their seats at the conclusion of
the patriotic hymn, Asher remained standing to make his
public apology as was required.
I apologize for inconveniencing my learning commu-
nity. Asher ran through the standard apology phrase rap-
idly, still catching his breath.”
Hair Ribbons=pg. 23. “Attention. This is a reminder to all females under nine that hair ribbons are to be neatly tied at all times.”
Bicycle=pg. 46. “But invariably the grinning nines ,who in technical violation of the rule had been practicing secretly for weeks, would mount and ride off in perfect balance, training wheels never touching the ground.”
3. Dream Telling=In dream telling, everyone has to share their nights dreams(if they had them) in the morning. If you have troubling dreams, you tell someone about it and then do something about it.
Public apology=If you are late for school, you have to apologize in front of the whole class. This, way, if you are embarrassed about apologizing in front of the whole class, maybe you will not be late again.
Bicycles=If you are under the age of nine, you are not allowed to ride a bicycle by yourself. You can ride on your parents if you are going somewhere far. If you are young and do not know how to ride a bike, you cannot fall off and hurt yourself.
Hair Ribbons=All females under the age of 8 must wear hair ribbons at all times. This way, no could get their hair caught.
Children Limits=Only one boy and one girl are allowed in one family unit. This could be good rule because then, overpopulation cannot happen.

ReplyDeleteList at least five rules that Jonas and his community must live by and give them your own titlname.
Each family must have two children. One girl and one boy.
Every night you must share your feelings with your family.
When your at age nine you get your bicycle.
You get your assignment at age twelve.
You are given your child and the namer gives your child their name.

“Two children - one male, one female - to each family unit.”
“It was one of the rituals, the evening telling of feelings.”
“She became a nine that year, and got her bicycle.”
“The ceremony of twelve was the last of the ceremonies. The most important.”
“He remembered his mother talking the new child, his sister, into her arms, while the document was read to assembled family units. “New child twenty-three,” the namer had read. “Lily.”
3. Rule number four is when you are given your job at the age of twelve. You are assigned by the Chief Elder.
4. An advantage for the rule, each family must have two children, one girl one boy, would be that the world would not get over populated. An advantage for the rule, every night you must share your feelings with your family would be that your family would know how everyone was feeling and if you were feeling bad then your family could help you. An advantage for the rule when you are at age nine you would get your bicycle would be that so you don’t get it to young and you don’t hurt yourself. An advantage for rule four is that you would get your job young and you would be trained by a professional in that area. An advantage for rule five is that there is balance in the population and their are not so many people with the same name.

List at least five rules that Jonas and his community must live by and give them your own title or name.
ReplyDeleteBows have to be tied : lily’s bows had to be tied ,Stirring pills: When you start having stirrings you have to take a special type of pill, Child amount: Per family you could have one boy and one girl, Buttons up the back: from a certain age to a certain age you had to have a jacket that was buttoned up at the back, Buttons up the front: from a certain age to a certain age you would have a jacket with buttons at the front.
Copy an exact quote from the first two chapters of The Giver for each rule in your list which shows where the author has mentioned it. Include the page number for the quote. The bows have to be tied bit said 1. Chapter 3 page # 23 ATTENTION. THIS IS A REMINDER TO FEMALES UNDER NINE THAT HAIR RIBBONS ARE TO BE NEATLY TIED AT ALL TIMES.2. Chapter 5 page # 37 ATTENTION A REMINDER THAT STIRRINGS MUST BE REPORTED IN ORDER FOR TREATMENT TO TAKE PLACE.3. Chapter 1 page #8 “ Lily’’, Mother reminded her, smiling, “ you know the rules’’. Two children- one male, one female- to each family unit. 4.Chapter page # Fours, fives and sixes have buttons down the back so that they would have to help each other.5. The little girl nodded and looked down at herself, at the jacket with its row of large buttons that designed her as a seven. Seven’s, eights and nines got buttons up the front.
Explain in one or two complete sentences what the rule means in your own words (Don't tell why you like it/don't like it). Well the one where females ribbons have to be tied i think in my mind that rule as a certain hair style that they have to have, another rule in my mind is when i think of the stirring, as just a medication from stopping to have those types of feelings, another rule in my head with the one as the certain amount of children a s kinda like the thing in china, and another one with the jacket just that its good because little children learn teamwork.
Tell what the advantages of each rule could be in a community. How could this rule benefit your life or world?

No hoarding food.
ReplyDeleteShare your feelings during dinner.
Females under the age of nine has to have their ribbons tied.
Share your dreams during breakfast.
In a family they are only aloud to have two children one girl and one boy.
“ATTENTION THIS IS A REMINDER TO MALE ELEVENS THAT OBJECTS ARE NOT TO BE REMOVED FROM THE RECREATION AREA AND THAT SNACKS ARE TO BE EATEN, NOT HOARDED.” - PAGE 23
“WHO WANTS TO BE THE FIRST TONIGHT, FOR FEELINGS?” JONAS’S FATHER ASKED, AT THE CONCLUSION OF THEIR EVENING MEAL. IT WAS ONE OF THE RITUALS, THE EVENING TELLING OF FEELINGS. - PAGE 4

The rule for share your dreams during breakfast means during breakfast you have to talk about what you dreamt about to your family.
I guess for share your feelings during dinner is better for your family because it will bring your family closer. shiloh

ReplyDeleteYou must share your feelings at dinner with your family and your dreams at breakfast.
For each family must have two children one female one male.
A child can not have a bicycle and can’t have their hair down until they have reached the age of 9.
Your hair has to be neatly tied up in ribbons at all times.
If you are late getting to school you have to tell your class why and apologize.)

‘I apologize to my classmates’ Asher concluded. He smoothed his rumpled tunic and sat down.
3. The rule that you must share your feelings at dinner and your dreams means at dinner you can share your feelings and control your dreams. In the morning you can share the dream you had.
4.
It could benefit the community if you are feeling sad you could share and your family would make you feel better and you could control your dreams.
It benefit because the would be equality with the genders.
It be better so young kids won’t be able to go biking and hurt themselves.
They would not fiddle with their hair and most likely not get lice.
It would teach them respect and to not be late next time.

ReplyDelete1. Dream Telling : Dream telling : Every breakfast, you have to share your dreams with your family. Dream telling might be good because if you had nightmares, you can share it with your family and they will help you with it.
Bicycles : You get a bicycle only when you are a 9. It could be good because if you are young, you might fall and beyond 9, you can easily control yourself.
Children Limits : Everyone family, can only have 2 children, a boy and a girl. 2 children per family could be good because then the populations would be controlled.
Hair Ribbons : You must wear a hair ribbon if you are a female until the age 9. It could be a good use because if you kept on doing it, you would get into a habit of it in the future and it would be easier.
Public Apology : If you are late for school, you have to stand in front of the classroom and apologize to your classmates. It could be good for you if you don’t like talking in front of the class because then you would try your best to not be late.

Five rules are:
ReplyDeleteDream Telling: You must tell each dream that you had last night while you are having breakfast. Dream telling can be good because if you are a little kid and you had a bad dream you can tell it to your family and it won't be awkward.
Hair Ribbons: You must wear hair ribbons if you are a female under the age of 9. Hair ribbons is good because then, you learn to keep your hair neat so when you are older, it will be a habit.
Bicycles: You must be 9 years old to ride a bicycle and you get one when you are 9. That is good because if they had a bike when they are younger, they may lose it or break it.
School Apology: If you are late for school, you must apologize to the class. That is good because kids can learn to be on time and learn to apologize.
Children Limits: You must have 1 male kid and 1 female kid per each family unit. That is good because they can control the population.

You get your bike at 9 years old. You get your child given to you. The communitie gives you your wife or husband. Girls under 9 years old have to have there hair in bows. You have to share your feelings at dinner.
ReplyDelete“Jonas could see them applauding dutifully as the Nines, one by one,
wheeled their new bicycles, each with its gleaming
name tag attached to the back, from the stage.”
“The Ceremony for the Ones was always noisy and fun.
Each December, all the new children born in the previous
year turned One. One at a time — there were always fifty in
each year’s group, if none had been released — they had
been brought to the stage by the Nurturers who had cared for
them since birth.”
“Even the Matching of Spouses was given such weighty
consideration that sometimes an adult who applied to re-
ceive a spouse waited months or even years before a Match
was approved and announced.”
“ATTENTION. THIS IS A REMINDER TO
FEMALES UNDER NINE THAT HAIR RIBBONS ARE
TO BE NEATLY TIED AT ALL TIMES.”
“It was one of the rituals, the evening telling of feelings.”
3. Having your bike at 9 years old because they don't want you to get hurt.A couple get 2 children max because they don't want more in one family unit. Every year people would be given a spouse because they think it would be bad if you had to pick your own.The communities wants girls under 9 to have their hair tied so it won't be messy.They have to tell each other how they feel at dinner because it's a rule.
4. - If people are feelings sad they might not feel as alone.
- Girls under 9 must have their hair ribbons tied so their hair is not messy.
- You must share your dreams so people know what your dreaming about and they can give you a pill if your hurt or having feelings for someone else.
- Families can only have 2 children would decrease population growth.
-It would prevent less people to divorce.

ReplyDelete1. The community rules
Each family is only allowed 2 children per family and 1 must be a girl
and the other a boy. “Lily you know the rules”, two children - one male, one female - to each family unit. It was written very clearly in the rules. - page 8 This rule means each unit is only allowed 2 children no more. This rule can benefit the community with not becoming overpopulated.
Children amount rule.
When you become a 12 you go to the ‘ceremony of twelve’ and get your assignment. Lily looked up her eyes wide “The ceremony of twelve” she whispered in a n awed voice. -page 9 This rule means when you are a 12 you become a adult and you get your job, but you do not get to choose it, is chosen for you. This benefits the community so there’s no fighting for jobs. The life jobs rule.
Each night at dinner you must share your feelings. “Who wants to be the first, tonight for feelings?” Jonas father asked at the conclusion of their evening meal. -page 4 This rule means as a nightly ritual each family must share their feelings. This benefits the community so everyone can share their feelings to make others feel better. Nightly Feelings rule.
When you become a 9 you earn your bicycle and the females will lose their hair ribbons. “I remembered that I enjoyed the ones, I always do, but I didn’t pay much attention to the other ceremonies, except for my sister’s. She became a nine that year and got her bicycle. -page13 This rule is more like a new privilege not as much a rule but it states that you get new privileges. This rule benefits the community by giving excitement to the children. New age rule.
Once you pass the age of 8 you get a new coat with buttons down the front and not down they back. This rule says that once you become a 8 you get buttons down the front to show independence. This rule benefits the community by showing independence for the children. Independence rule.
