Storyboard Text
- When the plane flew across the community
- When Jonas got skipped when being given his assignment
- Jonas receiving his first memory
- "He had seen it both times. Squinting toward the sky, he had seen the sleek jet, almost a blur at it's high speed, go past, and a second later heard the blast of sound that followed. Then one more time, a moment later, from the opposite direction, the same plane." (Lowry, pg. 1)
- When Jonas started to see colors
- "Could he have forgotten his own number? No. He has always been Nineteen. He was sitting in the seat marked fifteen. But she had skipped him. ..... He couldn't bear to see their faces darkened with shame. Jonas bowed his head and searched through his mind. What had he done wrong?" (Lowry, pg. 72-73)
- Jonas accidentally transferring a memory to Gabriel
- "Close your eyes. Relax. This will not be painful.' Jonas remembered that he was allowed, that he had even been encouraged, to ask questions. 'What are you going to do, sir?' he asked, hoping that his voice didn't betray his nervousness. 'I am going to transmit the memory of snow' the old man said, and placed his hands on Jonas's bare back." (Lowry, pg. 100)
- "This time it had been Fiona who had undergone that fleeting indescribable change. As he looked up and toward her going through the door, it happened; she changed. Actually, Jonas thought, trying to re-create it in his mind, it wasn't Fiona in her entirety. It seemed to be just her hair." (Lowry, pg. 114)
- "Once more, toward dawn, the newchild woke and cried out. Again Jonas went to him. This time he quite deliberately placed his hand firmly on Gabriel's back, and released the rest of the calming day on the lake. Again Gabriel slept." (Lowry, pg. 147)
