Assignment: Write a brief paragraph (5-7 sentences) comparing Jonas's family unit with your own family. Some questions to ponder: Do you have family rituals? Do you eat dinner together every night? Do you share your inner thoughts, feelings, and fears? Do you have respect for each other? Think about this for a few minutes first...BEFORE writing anything. Some parents have commented that some of our grammar on the blog is TERRIBLE...and I would like to change that opinion. SO, PLEASE PROOFREAD OR HAVE SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY PROOFREAD WITH YOU.
This assginment is Due Wednesday at 7:30 am.
Thanks.

Me and my family do NOT share each others feelings every night, but we do come together to eat dinner together everyday, with the television on of course. we respect each other... sometimes. Also my family pray every once in a while together before we go to sleep, like Jonas' family shares each others feelings every night. I guess in some way my family is similar to Jonas' family

PS. Mr. Vergara is is supposed to be Jonas's?
My family compared to Jonas' family is nothing alike at all. See my family is more busy and apart then Jonas' family. Jonas' family has dinner and breakfast together when my family doesn't even eat together. One of our family rituals is when my mom is off from work, she cooks a big special dinner and then we all sit down together but, that's only once in a blue moon. We also never share feelings or fears like Jonas' family, but I wonder how that would turn out. Though when my parents are at work some times my cousins come over and keep us company. Me and my cousins are always together and we always hang out with each other any free time we get. So comparing my cousins and Jonas' family, my family will get released!!!!!!!!!!!!

My family and I do not eat with each other at the table.I am the only one that sits at table and watch my mom cook.My mom is like my best friend I tell her everything. When she comes from work I tell her how I feel and if I have a problem she tells me what to do.Yes, we do respect each other SOMETIMES!!. At times I fight with my sister and brother but i love them no matter what happens xoxoxo.

My family is nothing like Jonas's Family. First off my mom is actually my mom. I did not get assigned to another mom. second we don not "share each others dreams" with each other. We just eat dinner... Third off My family is actually related to each other, like Jonas probably as no resemblance to each other and have probobly have different DNA. Jonas has a very weird family(In a good way) and is nothing like mine.

My family is nothing like Jonas' family at all. I barely sit with my family and if i do its only in the holidays. Also I dont call my mom mother. I just say mom because its shorter. Another thing I dont share my feelings. If I would of have I wouldn't share it with my mom. I respect my mom and a little bit of my dad because I only talk to him on the phone and sometimes when he visits. My sister... no way.

My family is most likely not the same as jonas` family.I say this because we dont share our feeing with each other.The thing we do have alike though is we do sit at the table together most of the time.A thing that is completly different is I dont really share my feelings of when im mad but maybe if im sad i will.The only person who i would share my feelings with is alittle bit with my mom.

My family is nothing like jonas' family. My family does not have any rituals unlike jonas'. We don't eat together at all and we dont share feelings. Jonas' family does all of this. This shows that in a small community with many rules, family is all you have. If your in a big community, you will become separated from your family.

My family is some what Jonas's family.Yes, we do all respect each other and eat dinner every night.But, we do not share our feelings with each other, and we do not have any family rituals during the day.

My family and jonas family are different and in some parts alike. My family eat together and sometimes we don't. My family don't share feelings like jonas family's. We also don't share fears are other things like that. I think our family's are different because of the kind of town we live. Jonas family live in a town were the rules are strict and some parts different.

Jonas’s family and my family are more different then alike. My family’s ritual is going to church every Sunday. We don’t eat dinner together because my parents, my brother and I come home at a different time, but once in while we accompany each other. My parents share thoughts with each other and sometimes with us. I mostly share my inner thoughts with my brother, he understands me a little better because we have been throw most of the same things. My family and I have respect for each other, but my brother and I have our times. My family wouldn’t fit in Jonas’s community because I think we’re unique. My parents are complete opposites, but they fit together. My brother and I have a weird relationship because we fight and advise each other.

My family is just tired of each other. We share our feelings every night but, only to the point when someone keeps bothering you about about it. We have no respect for each other. Well alot of the time we don't. We just yell,argue,and use big people words. We don't like to eat dinner together unless its like Thanksgiving or some thing like that. We hardly share dinner. If we'er in a good mood we'll share but other than that nothing. We only share fears if you know we witness our fears. I don't know if we have any ritual. Mostly we all just hate each other. We don't like to talk to each other not one bit unless its really serious. I love my family but there's just to many problems. My family problems are so you know retarted. With these problems there's so many distractions. I can't focus in class,I can't get to sleep,and can't focus on my homework these are my only reason i'm failing. One day i'm just gonna hate them all.

P.S you spelled dinner wrong.
Jonas's family and my family are some what alike. For instance,my family does not eat at the table with each other...My family sometimes eat in the living room with each other so we can watch t.v. My family and I do not share our feeling to each other...the only person I share my feelings to is my older sister or my mom. My family and I do show some respect to each other because we were raised this way.

My family and Jonas's family are not very much alike. For example we do not eat togther at dinner. I eat in my room as well as my brother my mom eats in the living room and my dad eats when he comes. By the time he comes we are all done. We do not share our feelings or anything. Sometimes I would share my feeling with my mom and my brother. My broter and I respect each other and also respect my parents.

Jonas' family and my family are nothing alike in my opinion. We do not eat together every night and we don't every relly show our inner feelings all the time unless something is bothering us. Unlike Jonas' family our family shows love and caring. Jonas' family also i have a real mother and and father and my family has not ever been assigned to eachother. We do not have any rituals like Jonas' family does.

Jonas' family and my family are very different. For one Jonas' family eats dinner together everynight. i on the other hand eat in my living room with my sister and my mom and my dad eats in his room. We eat together sometimes but sometimes my mom isnt home because she woks 3 jobs. Jonas' family eats together every night and shares there feeling or dreams. Usaully i only talk to my mom or my sister about my dreams or feelings. Sometimes we have family night and talk about whats going on in school and thats usually the night we eat dinner together and wactch movies or we go out. I love my family and they love me.

My family compared to Jonas' family have many differences than similarities.My family's rituals are that,we go to church every Sunday,have evening prayer sometimes,on Saturday,and other things that have to do with church.My family does not eat dinner together,every night because my mom always has to go to work in the night time,my dad is trying to make our church a better place, by doing construction work there,and basically my brother an I are the only ones who eat together.I share my thoughts and feelings with my mom because she is my confidant and my brother shares his thoughts with me.My family have respect for each other but even though,my brother and I could get into fights we still love each other at the end.My family is most likely to not fit into Jonas' community.

P.S Mr.Vergara I still can't get the image out of my head,of what u read in Ch.5 today
My family is very different compared to Jonas'. We don't have any family rituals at all. Jonas and his family eat and discuss their feeling with each other every day. I only eat with my whole family a few days a week because of the hours and days my parents work. One thing that is similar is that we all respect each other. I think that when your schedule different ever single day, your not as close to your family as you would be having everything the same every day.

My family is so much different than Jonas' family. Unlike Jonas I do not eat dinner with my family. My family usually eat when ever they want will Jonas eat with there family as a regular basis. We usually don't tell feelings to each other. At least were not force to tell are feelings like Jonas' family does. So we basically don't have a family rituals. One thing that is the same for me and Jonas' family is that we respect what we say to each other. So over all I say were way different than Jonas' family.

My family is different and similar from Jonas' family. My family does not share anyones inner thoughts,feelings,and fears. We do have a ritual though everybody helps out with making the food during Thanksgiving. We usually have dinner together but when someone is not there we still eat,that happened to me once I had to heat it up in the microwave. I have respect for my parents but me and my brothers fight to much.
ReplyDeleteMy family is nothing similar to Jonas' family. Within my family we do not share our feelings, thoughts or dreams.If I wash to share my feelings it would probably be my older sister. We do not have rituals. We always eat together at dinner. We have respect for each other even though, my little sister and I fight. However, we always make up after. Other than that our family respects each other in every way possible.
ReplyDeleteMy family and Jonas family are nothing alike. The reason why i say that is because me and my family dont eat together we pretty much go in our own direction when we get home. We don't express how we feel or feelings i find that to be uncomfortable and disturbing if i was to share my feelings i would share them with my older sister. The only thing we really have in common is respect for each other.

Jonas, family is somewhat similar to mine. But, most likely my family are very different because we don’t live in a place like they do. We live in houses not dwellings. We would be shy to give a shower to and old women. We don’t like to tell how we feel or what we dreams of. We also don’t tell what the greatest feeling of the day was and we don’t have discipline that they have there.
ReplyDeleteMe and my family we sometimes we eat together and of course we have to RESPECT each other.
ReplyDeleteI tell my mom what happens in school and she tells me if that is wrong or not. And we sometimes we tell jokes and i get mad at my cousin's when they touch my things but sometimes we share but always i am going to be with them. Me and Jonas we have similar things like RESPECT.

Jonas's family unit is in a way similar and also in a way very different compared to my family unit. Jonas's family is trapped under the sameness system that runs the community. This means no independent choices for them. They have to end up wearing the same clothes that were already picked out every day. My family unit buy our own clothes and make our own food for our lifestyle processes. At Jonas's world, food is provided by the community and what food you get is what you get. Although Jonas's family's lifestyle has some advantages (like choices made for you) our society has an advantage with is to function in a unique way. We don't really show our feelings at dinner every night (in my opinion, I think we should do that). We also usually don't sit together as a group especially at dinner. We end up sitting any where. My dad is at his laptop busy getting phone calls. My mom is at the kitchen cooking food, my brother watches the telly and I am doing one of Mr. V's blogs. Although Jonas's world is similar, it is also different.

Jonas is family is similar, but mostly different to my family. First, my family is will not always sit together to eat because one of my parents may be working. Second, we may ask how was our day, we will never share deep feelings or thoughts. Also, my family family may get along, but not all the time. We always have our ways to spend time together other than eating dinner such as, watching TV, praying or doing something fun on Saturday or Friday nights. Finally, my family is can sometimes be crazy. I imagine that if Jonas lived with my family for a day he would find them unusual and rude.

My family is most similar to Jonas' family except we are most different.First,my family and I share dinner together.For example, we eat together except we are to funny at the table and not that serious sometimes.Next,we share thoughts,feelings,dreams,etc.There my cofidant.For example, we do share everything we can talk about then feel good about.Finally, my family has a ritual every day except it is most different than Jonas'family.For example, everyday we eat together "when were are all home",we watch tv together"occasionally",bother my brother "my job",play around,then pray together everyday and I mean everyday. In conclusion,my family and Jonas' is similar but at the same time different.

My family is a little bit the same and different than Jonas's Family. We do not express our deep feelings with one another but do respect each other. The majority of the time my family does sit down together and eat this is where we talk about our day and what is happening. Our family's ritual is to attend church every Saturday, and get together for family holidays.

Though Jonas's family unit and my own family both have parents and one daughter and one brother on the inside we are different. My family doesn't always eat dinner together and when we do we don't sit there and talk about our feelings, dreams, and why we feel this way. My family fights sometimes, like me and my brother. Jonas and his family never do that. Also Jonas isn't able to lie until he becomes the reseaver and I lie often. But after all that the biggest difference is that I've always loved my parents and they have always loved me.

Compared to Jonas' family, my family is very diffrent.Sometimes I do eat with my family and sometimes I don't because there are lots of after school activties the kids in my family(including me)attend.Everyone in my family has respect for one another,but we don't share feelings unlike jonas' family who does.We mind our own bussiness most of the time and go our seperate ways .Most of the time my brothers are playing outside and I am doing homework.In my opinion it would feel weird sharing the way you feel and why.all in all my family is very diffrent from jonas' family.

probably ran out of time today , but my family really doesn't do much. We dont eat together we dont share feelings we dont discuss things together. only occasionally if it was something important then we'd discuss, but i dont concern my self in any part with my family. sometimes i feel like im alone when i come home in my own little box. Although its not really healthy this is how i am in school my mind is already like in a miserable stage, but all an all i got to love them because without them id be nothing , live outside and probably homeless...!

My family is not really Jonas's family because of the way we act and how we talk to each other. When I come home from school my mom just asks me how school was and that's it. But when Jonas come home his mom says to go do his school work and always talks to him. Also when I go eat dinner I eat with my family but we have deep conversations about our days and our thoughts. But in jonas's family they talk about everything that they did in there day, and when they wake up in the morning they talk to each other and talk about there dreams. Also when I act bad to my mom my tells me to stop. But when Jonas acted bad he got the discipline wand. So we are much different than my life.

ReplyDeleteMy family and Jonas family is very different because we don't do the same things as they do. My parents teach me a lot of things and from them teaching me I teach my little brother. My little brother is very cool and we have a bunch of things in common like we both are the same height. Also my little brother looks like my dad and I look lik my mom. Everyday I sit at the dinner table with my parents and if I don't they make me which I don't like very much. I tell my mommost of the things I'm having trouble with but if I ever told my dad he probably would care. Also in my family no one is adopted in my family. Most of the time people in my family hide there feelings but evenchually the rest of the family finds out. That is house my family is different then Jonas family
ReplyDeleteJonas and my family and not the same we do not tell our felling and we shore do not talk about our dreams. We eat together and we have a lot of respect for each other.

Jonas'family and my family and I are very different and similair in many ways.Like Jonas and his family we share our feelings with each other,we also sometimes eat with each other,too.Although,I have some similairites with Jonas,I aslo have some differences.The differences that my family and I have different from Jonas is that our rituals our different.In the morning I get up eat breakfeast,then I wake my dad so he can get his shower and go to work.After that I get dressed and wait for my mom to wake up so that she can watch me go to the bus.While Jonas' family get up at the same time and all eat breakfeast together.As a result my family and I are very different from Jonas'and his family.
