2. Why does Jonas find the instruction about lying so disturbing?


Why Jones might find this disturbing is because of trust, and what will happen if he lies and the community finds out. The result of what will happen is that the communities trust with Jones will decrease, and Jones would be ignored by everyone in his community. But "i am not sure about how Asher would fell" Because he lies all the time even to teachers, Asher might not care and would still be friends with Jones. Possibly Jones might manipulate lying and used it as his benefit as a receiver of dreams.

Jones might also be disturbed because he might get obsess with the privilege, of lying and start lying to this action, might make he community want to release him. Because he might be a role model to other kids, who will soon join the ceremony of twelve, and the parents from the family unit would not like Jones making there kids lie at there young age and would lead to them lying recklessly to the point when they also would be released

I think Jones will not use the privilege of lying often, this or probably he would see how lying get's addicting either way the book gives a lot of description.
