When Jonas learns all about colors, he claims "it isn't fair that nothing has color". Why does he say this?
Jonas probably says that for a lot of reasons but I think that the three main reasons to why he said that in my opinion is that he thinks somethings actually deserve emotions, there is no difference between things because they all contain the same colors, and my final reason is that no one can have sympathy, hatred, or anything towards anyone at all.
I think that Jonas thought that some nice people deserve to have emotions because they have done so much for some people or made a big change, or maybe changed his life and they can't get feelings in return, so they cannot feel of any emotions about anybody or anything. Also if there are'nt any emotions in life there is no way you can ever be happy.
My second reason is that there is not any difference at all between things because they are all the same color and you cannot notice any difference. For example, flowers are supposed to be colorful but in Jonas's Community they are all black and white. Also all animals, walls, and paintings don't have any big difference because they don't have any particular color so you cannot look at them and say you feel any emotions or feelings.
My Final reason to why Jonas said that is no one in his own community who he knew of had ever felt sympathy, passion, hatred, happiness etc. I also find that it is not fair that in Jonas's community they cant live life freely and their community cannot be counted a "Utopia" in my opinion if no one can personally say that they enjoy or have fun in this community. Those are the three reasons that I find the most important to why Jonas claims "it isn't fair that nothing has color".

Excellent Blog Post, You have included what you've thought about the concept of the unfairness of no color that Jonas has claimed. You've given the evidence of how without color there are no emotions and thus everything is the same: Black and White. I totally agree with your ideas and great job.
