What would you like to  know what someone else's opnion about part of the story?

 Ch 12 Think about it!

Jonas soon realizes he is seeing the color red. This means, the community does not see color. Resorting to sameness meant taking away color. (No differences, everything the same = sameness). Start considering things that the community does not feel or go through and that Jonas will. Will this become a problem? 

Ch 13 Think about it!

Jonas learns that the community does not have the option of choice - because people might make bad ones. How does this effect your life?
