The ceremonies are coming very close, at first the naming and giving of the Ones. Jonas friend, Fiona received a new brother called Bruno. The ceremonies continued Lilly was very exited to receive her new jacket and the Nine were happy about there new bikes. "But invariably the grinning Nines, who technical violation of the rule had been practicing secretly for weeks." Finally the ceremonie of twelve has come and evereyone was nervious about it. Everyone had a number that they remembered since they were kids. Jonas had the number nineteen and he was after Fiona who had the number eighteen. Fiona was chosen for the assigment of Caretaker of the Old, when it was time for Jonas the Chief Elder continued to twenty without going through nineteen, that moment Jonas was confusied. But after the ceremonie ended , the Chied Elder relieve that Jonas was the selected to be the Receiver of Memories that was the most important job of all the community.
While reading this chapters I think about the theme individuality on the page 46" Females lost their braids at ten, and males, too."Males and females should cut their braids at the age they want, they shouldn't have a rule to cut their hairs. Also in page 62 when the Chief Elder says "The training requiredof you involves pain. Physical pain" I made a queston, why does he need to have pain, does this assigment is dangerous.
I think Jonas is going to be very good at his new assigment but I also thinks he is going to do something that changes his entire
community .

ReplyDeleteMartin,
ReplyDeleteI think the same with you when you said that Jonas was going to change his community because he is a special boy. i like the quote that you chose it made me think allot . Try to explain the quote so the people can understand it better.
Martin, I found your blog very interesting and I am drawn to your conclusion. I have many questions involving Jonas's new job too and specially about the physical pain. I am troubled with this and I would want to find out what kind of physical pain is the chief elder referring to. I also liked the part that you brought up individuality and pointed out that children in the community had to loose their braids at the age of ten and that is something I believe is wrong. People should choose what to wear and create their own taste. In conclusion, I found your blog very interesting and thoughtful. What are some of your predictions about the next chapters?
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I like your blog very much. I notice that you used some quotes of the book to support your ideas and that is very good. I agree with you in that part that you talk about individuality and the physical pain. In your concluding paragraph you say that Jonas will make something that will change that community, so what do you think that Jonas will do to change his entire community?
