Man vs. self #3
"He had not taken the pills, now, for four weeks. The Stirrings had returned, and he felt a little guilty and embarrassed about the pleasurable dreams that came to him as he slept" (Lowery 130,131). This is man vs. self because the stirrings were dreams in his head.

"From the distance, Jonas could hear the thud of cannons. Overwhelmed by pain, he lay there in the fearsome stench for hours, listened to the men and animals die, and learned what warfare meant." Jonas was getting the memory of warfare and he was in pain and was overwhelmed but they where all in his head.

"She skipped me, Jonas thought, stunned. Had he heard wrong? No. There was a sudden hush in the crowd, and he knew that the entire community realized that the Chief Elder had moved from Eighteen to Twenty" (Lowery 57). Jonas was at the ceremony of twelves and he was getting ready to go up and the chief elder skipped his number and called twenty. This was huge in the community because people who where not assigned where released.
"'You're hit, Jonas!" Asher yelled from behind the tree."Pow! You're hit again!"Jonas stood alone in the center of the field. Several of the children raised their heads and looked at him uneasily. The attacking armies slowed, emerged from their crouched positions, and watched to see what he was doing"' (Lowery 193). Jonas was getting mad that they were playing a game where people where getting killed. They were playing a game of war. They did not know what pain this had brought to Jonas and people who were not part of the community back when the community was not around.
"In the best of conditions, the hill would have been a difficult, demanding ride. But now the rapidly deepening snow obscured the narrow road and made the ride impossible. His front wheel moved forward imperceptibly. He got off and let it drop sideways into the snow. For a moment he thought how easy it would be to drop beside it himself, to let himself and Gabriel slide into the softness of snow, the darkness of night, the warm comfort of sleep" (Lowery 176). This is man vs. nature because the snow made it harder for him to pealed up the hill.
"Sideways, spinning, the sled hit a bump in the hill and Jonas was jarred loose and thrown violently into the air. He fell with his leg twisted under him, and could hear the crack of bone. His face scraped along jagged edges of ice" (Lowery 108). The reason this is man vs. nature is because the hill was a lot steeper and he hit a bump and he was Jared lose and broke his leg.
"Even I voted for Gabriel's release when we had the meeting this afternoon." Jonas put down his fork and stared at his father. "Re-lease?" he asked. Father nodded. "We certainly gave it our best try, didn't we?'" Jonas plan had to be started earlier than he wanted because he had to bring gabe with him on his journey because his father was going to release it tomorrow morning. If he did not bring him he would have been made that he let his father kill an Innocent baby.
"One night Jonas fell, when the bike jolted to a sudden stop against a rock. He grabbed instinctively for Gabriel; and the newchild, strapped tightly in his seat, was uninjured, only frightened when the bike fell to its side. But Jonas's ankle was twisted, and his knees were scraped and raw, blood seeping through his torn trousers. Painfully he righted himself and the bike, and reassured Gabe." This is man vs. nature because the rock was the thing that sent Jonas of the bike and caused him to hurt himself.
