1. Why can't you copyright an idea?

What is Creative Common licence and why is it important to us?

Creative Commons licenses help creators retain copyright while allowing others to copy, distribute, and make some uses of their work, at least non-commercially. and it is important because it ensures licencors get the credit for their work they deserve.

Pictures:

1. I chose this picture of a question mark because Jonas, the main character, always asks question. I thought a question mark was appropriate to describe him.

2. I chose this picture of eyes because these are the things that really set Jonas apart from his peers. His unusual eyes, his ability to see things change in a way that he cannot explain.

3. I those this image of "thought" because Jonas is always thinking and has an ability that no other person has and i feel like this picture describes him really well.
