Chapter One

In chapter one this is what happens. The main character Jonas is starting to feel frightened because a plane is flying overhead his community and he doesn't know why. Then a voice comes on all of the loud speakers that says "go into the nearest building, leave your bikes where they are and hide immediately." Jonas had never heard anything like this before so he didn't know what to think. Jonas lives in a "perfect" world. In his community everything and
everyone is the same. Every family has the same contents, everyone wears the
same clothes, and everyone is treated equally. Since Jonas lives in a world like this he is not used to being exposed to excitement or danger. A few moments later another announcement is made this one says "everything is okay the pilot flew out of his route and will be immediately released." When all the excitement is over Jonas rides home on his bike to his family dwelling. When he is riding back to his family dwelling he realizes that he is feeling dismayed not frightened. Then the chapter ends.
