Hi, so Jonas in the beginning of the story was not self aware. He thought he lived in a perfect world & that everything was right and nothing was to be questioned. How he changed: when he began getting memories he experienced pain, suffering, sorrow, pure joy, good, bad, and differences of life he opened his eyes to a whole new world. He changed and became more self aware & began to question what was really right in his community. He became courageous, bold, brave, daring, caring, and compassionate. In the end: because of his experiences, triumphs, and knowledge he became an understanding, compassionate, brave, bold, and daring person whose drive helped others (the community & Gabriel). He changed because: Jonas changed because before receiving memories he was narrow minded, when shown the other depths of life he realized he had not known what life was about. As a curious person he wanted to know about other ways of life. I hope this helped a little bit and I'm so sorry if this is late
