7. What Jonas's father did to the twin
"Once again, as he had on the playing field, he felt the choking sensation. Once again he saw the face of the light -haired, bloodied soldier as life left his eyes. The memory came back. He killed it! My father killed it! Jonas said to himself, stunned at what he was realizing. He continued to stare at the screen numbly."
This quote made me think a lot of things. While reading it apparents to be that not only Jonas was shocked but trust me, I was too! I didn't expected that Jonas father was going to kill that twin. I had a lot different vision of what a release was. I really don't think that Jonas father knows that he´s killing that newborn child. I think he is just given others and that he follows them without knowing much of them. Maybe he even thinks he is given the twin a kind of sedant or anesthesia so he could be asleep while he´s going to elsewhere. When Jonas saw this we could infer that all releases are like that. After watching the video of the release I think that Jonas will never see he´s father the same way he used to do.
I really want to read the final chapters of the book and see what happens with Jonas´s plan to escape. I want to see what happens next! This are definitely the most revealing chapters of the whole book by now. If I was shocked at seen Jonas´s father killing that twin I can´t imagine how Jonas would've felt. I really want to see the movie of this book because probably it explains things quite better just like the release part. In conclusion I really liked this chapters and I can´t wait to read the final ones, and I hope you liked the cross word puzzle.
Alejandro, frist of all I wanted to say that your blog is awesome! I noticed that you do something special fro every blogpost. I had a lot of fun trying to solve your crossword puzzle. I have a connection with my own blog because I used the same quote for my text response too. I also was shocked when I realised that Jonas' father killed people for living. I kind of disagree with you in that part you say that maybe Jonas' father thinks that he is giving something to the baby to help him sleep until he wets to elsewhere. I think he knows that he is killing the baby and he lies because that is what they taught him to do, that is his job and he docent seem affected because he doesn't have any feelings.
ResponderBorrarI really enjoyed your blog and found it very interesting. I believe this is because we share a lot of the same ideas. Reading your blog made me realize of new ways of looking at the book. For example, I agree with you on the part were you explain that maybe Jonas' father had no way of knowing what he was doing to the baby. I believe this because Father has no knowledge of pain or death. This is why I had the same thought as you did about father believing that he was just giving him a sedative so he could reach elsewhere easier. Finally, I really enjoyed your word puzzle and have liked the book and its ideas really interesting.
