Jonas is affecting Gabriel by giving him memories of happiness wich is against the rules. I think Jonas did this to make Gabriel feel better.

I agree with Clarissa that Jonas** feels comfortable around Gabe b/c they have much that is similar between them. I also disagree with the statement Gabriel may be the next receiver b/c you aren’t chosen/ selected just because of your eyes… you have to, I don’t know, the elders choose you… But I also think, agree with Clarissa that he is affecting Gabe with the memories and that he’s doing it when he’s not supposed to. I am not sure if it was a good decision of Jonas’s to share the good memories with little Gabe. But I do know that it made Jonas feel better and Gabe feel comfier. Also that now Jonas giving a good memory is a routine, Gabe is sort of interdependent so that also makes me think about if it’s actually a good decision or not.

**Good night~!!

In this chapter, Asher with Fiona and other friends were playing a fake game of war. He started to realize that this situation is very depressing, because first he knew that this was just a game, but he started to think back the American Civil War with all those soldiers dying, in pain and wanting water, with their mother. He was super depressed, and almost about to cry, but that is not a bad thing because I would cry if I was in his position.

I think that Asher was kind of harsh on him when he said that he not to play the game. He said that he couldn’t tell him what to do because this was his ~~~ “job”. I think that Asher just doesn’t know his feelings. In this time, Jonas is in a very difficult position, where he has to learn a lot of things. Jonas needs some companionship so he doesn’t get more depressed, because he might commit suicide like the river. Like the story Asher told him.

This chapter is when Asher and some of his other friends, like Fiona, were playing a game of war (it was fake). He was really surprised, but after a while, he understood this situation. At first, he didn’t really care about them playing the game, but then he remembered the blank expression on the young and dying soldier’s face in the terrible memory. While they played, pretending to shoot and die, he went away, full of sadness. The others said that he ruined the game, and he tried to explain to them why they shouldn’t play it, but he knew they wouldn’t understand it without having the memories.

He was really sad, and I kind of felt like he had lost some friends. I myself probably had the same feelings as Jonas while reading this chapter. He was really certain that his friends would never comprehend his feelings at that time without having access to the memories.
