Checked in Spelling Week 10, homework and quiz.

QW- Communities & Boundaries -- In Chapter 13, Jonas could see the bright orange of pumpkins being trucked in from the agricultural fields beyond the community boundary. He had traveled beyond the boundary on school trips to outlying communities, which were much the same as his own with only minor differences. 1.Why would it be important that a community living in Sameness not have open and free contact with other communities, even those existing within the same set of rules and regulations?  2. If a world such as our own existed beyond their boundaries, how do you imagine Jonas’s community barricaded itself against outside intrusions?
