Jonas thinks about his experience on the playing field after watching his father release the baby because it was another instance of the community members not truly grasping the concept of death. His friends couldn’t understand that war was a serious matter because it involved suffering and death because they couldn’t understand why those were so bad, and his father couldn’t understand that the death of the baby just because it was slightly smaller than its twin was significant because he couldn’t understand the grave (pun unintended) significance of death. Jonas, however, can, as a result of his experiences of being a Receiver.
Answer:
Sometimes the narrator has an opinion on things and takes sides. But if most people agree on a choice, the narrator usually agrees too. For example, in a fairy tale, snow white fell asleep and most people wanted snow to wake up. (The dwarves) But only the evil queen and her servants wanted her to die. SO if the narrator said
"Snow white was so dramatic and sad and she was so useless. The evil queen on the other hand, deserves to win and she is amazing."
People wouldn't want to read it because the opinion is not very popular.

Answer and Explanation:
What "cage" did Lizabeth realize that her and her childhood companions were trapped in during the Great Depression?
Lizabeth is a character is Eugenia Collier's short story "Marigolds", set during the Great Depression. According to Lizabeth, who is also the narrator of the story, the cage in which she and the other children in story were trapped was poverty.
How did this "cage" limit Lizabeth and her companions, and how did they react to it as children?
<u>Lizabeth says poverty is a cage because it limits her and her companions. They know, unconsciously, that they will never grow out of it, that they will never be anything else other than very poor. However, since they cannot understand that consciously yet, the children and Lizabeth react to that reality with destruction. They channel their inner frustrations, project their anger outwards - more specifically, they destroy Miss Lottie's garden of marigolds.</u>
<em>"I said before that we children were not consciously aware of how thick were the bars of our cage. I wonder now, though, whether we were not more aware of it than I thought. Perhaps we had some dim notion of what we were, and how little chance we had of being anything else. Otherwise, why would we have been so preoccupied with destruction? Anyway, the pebbles were collected quickly, and everybody looked at me to begin the fun."</em>
