He was again sitting in that whirling world of snowflakes,after the hill. Jonas grinned with delight and blew his own steamy breath into view (Lowry 93)”. This training did not only include anger, sadness, or stress. Jonas got to experience happier things like sledding. It’s easy for Jonas to be open minded to his training. He had never felt these

Imagine you were in a world where everything was completely controlled. Everything you knew and love followed a distinct set of rules, and if broken, they would disappear. Would you feel attacked, would you feel as if your very rights were violated, or would you feel nothing at all? This world would seem very dystopian to you, right?

Little Witley Ellie Neil Little Witley is a village far enough from Worcester to be in the middle of nowhere. Surrounded by fields full of sheep, cows, and other unknown animals it’s a rather unwelcoming village.
