Why doesn’t Jonas discuss Benjamin’s accomplishments?

            Jonas does not feel comfortable discussing Benjamin’s accomplishments because in their society, it is not polite to do so. Although Jonas is “impressed” (27) with his friend’s successes, both of them would find it “awkward” if Jonas were to praise him for them. In fact, calling attention to one’s own talents or those of a friend would seem like “bragging” in their culture, so they don’t do it. Instead, they admire each other’s work without comment.

Ch5, Q1

What was Jonas’ dream?

“a little angry at her” (35)

“slightly embarrassed”

“convince her” (36)

            Jonas was “slightly embarrassed” (35) about his dream.  He had a dream about Fiona in which he tried to “convince her“ (36) to take a bath with him. Jonas told his parents that he “could feel the wanting”. This was his first “stirrings” (37) that he felt, and they felt “confusing” to him.

 It was about Jonas having a shower with Fiona, and he “wanted her to take off her clothes” (36) because he started to have feelings about her. INCORPORATED
