I'm sorry, we are unable to provide students with writing assignments on this short-answer forum. In order to make your argument, you need to look at Asher closely. As a child, Asher had difficulty with speaking. His problems weren't addressed.... the were disciplined. How do you think Asher would treat a child with the same problem?

Asher is also unable to see Jonas' perspective after Jonas begins his assignment. If memories were released, Asher would be able to understand Jonas' opposition to war games, and although, he might or might not disagree, the friends might have continued their friendship. The glitch in their friendship is caused by misunderstandings.... differences, things that Jonas is experiencing, but things that Asher cannot understand.
