Answer:
Now that Jonas can ask questions, he realizes how overwhelming it can be for one person to receive so much information.
Explanation:
Jonas discovers all the truths about human behavior. Being able to ask questions and now have access to the memories, he is overwhelmed by all these new feelings.
Some are pleasant, but others not so much. And this helps him understand why everyone else in the community is not allowed to ask questions.
Each of these memories completely overwhelms Jonas who does not understand very well what he is seeing, since it is something new to him.
Let's look at the following quote:
<em>"There was a question bothering Jonas. "Sir," he said, "The Chief
</em>
<em>Elder told me - she told everyone - and you told me, too, that it
</em>
<em>would be painful. So I was a little scared"</em>
Answer:
The topic of gender is explored in two general ways in the novel. First, the novel shows the success of a nearly exclusively female world. Taylor lives in a small community of women who for the most part live their lives independently of men. The women in this community strengthen one another. Once she begins to share her life with Taylor, Lou Ann stops disregarding her appearance, finds a job, and forgets her irresponsible husband. Taylor, the once-invulnerable spirit, finds the energy to fight for Turtle only after weeks of Lou Ann’s prodding and a long talk with Mattie. The women are remarkably loyal to one another. When she sees Esperanza’s tearful catharsis, Taylor realizes that if Esperanza asked for Turtle, Taylor would give Turtle to her. Esperanza’s loyalty to Taylor is equally strong, for although Turtle is one of the only things that gives Esperanza joy, Esperanza does not ask Taylor to give up Turtle.
Second, the novel portrays gender inequality as a societal phenomenon instead of as a series of individual grievances. When Taylor first sees Turtle’s body, she says that the burden of being born a woman had already affected the little girl. This comment immediately suggests that Kingsolver does not mean for us to think of Turtle as an individual but as representative of women in general, all of whom face difficulties because of their gender. Women suffer because they are women. Men touch and prod Lou Ann when she takes the bus, and the strip joint with its lewd paintings offends her. Esperanza seems to have had fewer educational and occupational opportunities in Guatemala that her husband did. While Estevan can speak perfect English, she is isolated in her depression, unable to express her grief fluently.
