The story would be alot different if Jonas told it in his own words. If Jonas had told it, he would have been able to share his feelings better, and what he was thinking. But if Jonas had told the story, there might not have been as much describing. For example, when Jonas had his first memory, it was the memory of snow. When the narrator told it she described Jonas' surroundings, but if Jonas had told it he might not have mentioned those, and it would be harder to picture the scene in your mind. If Jonas had told it he probably wouldn't know very much about the different character either, and he might not notice what the other characters are doing. Also if Jonas told the story he might be able to tell why they have all those strange rules.
 * __Question: How would the story be different if Jonas told it in his own words? What if the narrator were completely omniscient and knew much more than everyone in the community?__**
 * __Answer:__**

If the narrator knew more than everyone in the community the story would be alot better, I would know about all the character personality traits, and where everything is, and what it looks like. The narrator would also know about the commity, and why they made all the decisions and odd rules.

My stomach churns as I wait for the ride to begin, I grip the seatbelt that had just came over me and locked into place. 5.......4... the countdown begins, I wait in my seat full of excitement and fear. 3.......2....... I begin to feel full of energy, and I can't wait for the ride to start!.....1.......GO! The ride jolts forward and begins to pick up speed, it goes up a big hill then turns a sharp corner and begins coming downhill. I can see the loop coming up, im full of excitement as I see it coming closer, then up it goes, I could feel a sense of weightlessness and the roller coaster car goes up and around, my hair is blowing behind me, and the car goes over a couple more turns so sharp that it felt like I was going to come out of my seat. The car begin to slow, and the next thing I knew the ride was over. It was so much fun I got back in line to go on it again!

 * __The memory of a roller coaster__**

I can connect to the sunshine, snow, and sunburn memories because I have experienced them all. We have both snow and sunshine here regularily, so I have seen it many times, I have also gone sledding lots of times. I have also experienced sun burns lots of time, and it does hurt alot!
