How is Jonas the Most relatable character in the giver

Read the excerpt from "Hansel and Gretel.”

The children, too, had not been able to sleep of hunger and had heard what their step-mother had said to their father. Gretel wept bitterly and spoke to Hansel: "Now it’s all up with us.” "No, no, Gretel,” said Hansel, "don’t fret yourself; I’ll be able to find a way of escape, no fear.” And when the old people had fallen asleep he got up, slipped on his little coat, opened the back door, and stole out. The moon was shining clearly, and the white pebbles which lay in front of the house glittered like bits of silver. Hansel bent down and filled his pocket with as many of them as he could cram in. Then he went back and said to Gretel: "Be comforted, my dear little sister, and go to sleep: God will not desert us”; and he lay down in bed again.

At daybreak, even before the sun was up, the woman came and awoke the two children: "Get up, you lie-abed, we’re all going to the forest to fetch wood.” She gave them each a bit of bread and spoke: "There’s something for your luncheon, but don’t you eat it up before, for it’s all you’ll get.” Gretel took the bread under her apron, as Hansel had the stones in his pocket. Then they all set out together on the way to the forest. After they had walked for a little, Hansel stood still and looked back at the house, and this maneuver he repeated again and again. His father observed him, and [said]: "Hansel, what are you gazing at there, and why do you always remain behind? Take care, and don’t lose your footing.” "Oh! father,” said Hansel, "I am looking back at my white kitten, which is sitting on the roof, waving me a farewell.” The woman exclaimed: "What a donkey you are! that isn’t your kitten, that’s the morning sun shining on the chimney.” But Hansel had not looked back at his kitten but had always dropped one of the white pebbles out of his pocket onto the path.

Which sentence best states how Hansel’s actions help reveal a theme?

Hansel lies to his father in order to protect Gretel.
Hansel fills his pockets with stones to mark the way home.
Hansel plans ahead for a way to save both Gretel and himself.
Hansel defies his stepmother in order to say goodbye to his kitten.

Coloring is the most relaxing indoor activity. Not only is coloring fun, it does not require a lot of thought, but it still stimulates the mind. Selecting colors for an activity sheet allows for creativity and flexibility. When the coloring sheet is finished, there will be a wide range of unique colors, which would look different if multiple people colored the same activity page. Coloring is an artistic expression that has no set rules, except for maybe coloring within the lines of the activity sheet! For these reasons, coloring is the best choice for an indoor activity.

The Empire That Vanished
(1) Using archaeological studies, and Greek writings, historians now know much
more than ever before about the mysterious group of people called the Scythians. (2)
Historians have long known that they were nomadic, barbaric horsemen and a powerful force in Europe for about 400 years. (3) These people ruled a vast area of land for several centurys and then seemed to have vanished completely. (4) Artifacts found in the territory that the Scythians controlled have given clues about how they lived and what things they valued. (5) However, no evidence has been found of a centralized community, nor do historians know what eventually happened to these people. (6) Historians believe that the Scythians originally came from Asia around 700
B.C., searching for better pastures and other peoples to conquer. (7) At its peak the
Scythian kingdom reached from the Danube river east across the Ukraine, the Crimea, and Russia. (8) Historians disagree about the size of the Scythian population. (9) Some think it numbered around half a million; other contend that it numbered only in the tens of thousands. (10) According to evidence uncovered by archaeologists, both the men and the women were feirce warriors.

(12) The Scythians were especially proud of their adornments made of gold and precious stones. (13) They liked to show their wealth and even decorated their horses with gold. (14) Because of their fighting ability, the Scythians were able to acquire great riches. (15) Many of the Scythians’ gold ornaments found in Russia are formed into shapes that tell stories about their everyday life. (16) One elaborate gold neckpiece has figures of a resting calf, a boy milking a sheep, and bare-chested warriors with their weapons close at hand. (17) Into the image of a Scythian woman, another piece was worked, showing what the people looked like. (18) Archaeologists are still working trying to find out what happened to these people. (19) Although the Scythians left many of their treasure behind, researchers have found no trace of where these mighty warriors went.

Which excerpt from "Why Alligator Hates Dog” is an example of direct characterization?


Whenever he swam by, they gave him a wide berth because of his big mouth, sharp teeth, and massive tail.

“Oh, M'su Cocodrie, there’s been a terrible misunderstanding. I would never mock you, the king of the bayou!”

Despite Alligator’s suspicions, he was sorely tempted by that bowl of scraps, which certainly sounded very tasty.

He lies in the water as quiet and motionless as an old log, with only his eyes and nostrils peeping out, waiting patiently.

(2) One article says “Some students feel the four-day school week provides an opportunity for extra rest and a less stressful environment. Being out of school one extra day per week allows students to relax or to be more productive.” (3) This shows how four-day school weeks would be better. (4) Students are super stressed out all the time because they have so much to do every single day. (5) A four-day school week would be good because it would give everyone an extra day to chill out and have fun or get a job or volunteer which would be good so that’s why. (6) Also, students who are less stressed out would do better in school anyway so doing stuff to make them less stressed is the best idea. (7) That’s just one of the reasons we should have a four-day school week. Put the number or numbers for each part of the body paragraph checklist.
