 * __JOURNAL #4__**

A: In these chapters, Jonas sees colors for the first time, What would that be like to you?

If I hadn't seen colors ever, and then if i was to see them, I would probobly be astonished by the pure beauty of them. I really don't appreciate them as much as I should. To think of not seeing colors is just too unrealistic for me to imagine, even though i know that there are people out there that are color blind. Even when i look around the room i see at least one object of each color. This part in the book probobly changed the way I look at things more than any other part so far. i am VERY appreciative of what I, and everybody else, has.


 * I'M CURIOUS IF YOU ASSOCIATE CERTAIN MEMORIES, THOUGHTS, OR EMOTIONS TO SOME COLOURS. WHEN YOU THING "HAPPY" - DO YOU SEE A COLOUR? WHEN YOU THINK "SCARY"? HOW DO COLOURS HELP US COMMUNICATE? **

B: my question...

I have been wondering 2 things actually. First, when does this take place? It seems to be a bit futuristic, but im still not

convinced.

Second, What happened to force them to live like this? Some sort of apocolyptic thing? Or is this just the way that they live here,

and they know no other way of living. I feel sort of sad for these people, (even though its just a book) because they have never

experienced any of the great things in life, now that I think about it, they havent really experienced anything at all, huh.


 * THESE ARE GOOD (AND BIG) QUESTIONS TO ASK ABOUT THE STORY, AND THEY RELATE TO THE AUTHOR'S MAIN REASON FOR WRITING IT. CAN YOU THINK OF WHAT MIGHT HAVE PROMPTED THEM TO CHANGE THEIR WORLD - IF IT WAS ONCE LIKE OURS? WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO AVOID? HOW DID THEY DETERMINE HOW TO DO THIS?**
 * THE "WHEN" QUESTION MIGHT BE HARDER TO FIGURE OUT, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CLUES...**
