chapter 6,7,8

Are you ready for chapters 6,7 & 8?

Every year until you are a twelve something changes, when you become a 8 you start your volunteer hours, when you become a ten women lost their braids and boys cut their hair exposing their ears,when you become a nine you get your bicycle, but some  of this changes were more important such as the ceremony of twelve ,when you become a twelve you got your assignment and become and adult. On this three chapters the ceremony has started lily became an eight and the elders gave Gabriel an additional year on the nurturing so he can reach the standards and het a family the following year.On the other side Asher received the assignment of assistant director of recreation, but when the turn of Jonas came they skipped his number(nineteen)they continued with the kid number 20. But this was for a reason the chief elder witch is  leader of the community and was in charge of the ceremony gave the announcement that Jonas hasn't been assigned he has been selected to be the next receiver of memories.Jonas was very confused that selection was very rare.The chief elder start explaining that his training must be given by the current receiver(witch also had light eyes) and it would involve a lot of physical pain that nobody has experience except the receiver. She also added that they had chosen him   because he had the 4 requirements to be a receiver: intelligence,integrity,courage, wisdom and a capacity that only he and the receiver has witch  is the ability to see beyond. When the chief elder said this 5 capacity he had the crowd changed just like the apple did and he realize that that "change" he was able to see was his ability to see beyond and he would developed it while his training. Once the chief elder ended the hole community started to whisper his  name and he realized he was being accepted.


"But when he looked across the crowd, the sea of faces,the thing happened again. The thing that had happened with the apple.
They changed."(63)
This quite really got me thinking about the apple and Jonas. What is that that is changing on the apple and what changed on the ceremony? We just know something changes but what can it be, are the receivers the only ones that can see that change on things?Is that what makes Jonas the chosen one for being the new receiver of memories? Everything about the apple and the crowd changing confuses me, i've being thinking that what if the fact that Jonas saw the apple and the crow changing is something negative?


"But at the same time he was filled with fear. He didn't know what he was to become.
Or what would become of him."(64)
this quote makes me fill sad about Jonas. He has given the assignment of receiver he   don'ts understands and all the community  has putted so high expectations on him, This tells us that the community is not fare people deserve to make mistakes and one mistake for Jonas,the new receiver in training, can cost him a very high price. Jonas only expects fear and physical pain just as the chief elder told him. But nobody except the receiver feels that kind of pain, he will be alone apart from everybody. All does things Jonas is so confuse he doesn't know what he will become or what his future will look like.

On this chapters we had seen how the community has continued to show us the injustice of its rules. Every person deserves to live a life and make mistakes because the best way to learn is by making mistakes in the process. Also we can see how Jonas has so high expectation on him and how he will eventually become the next receiver and he still dosen't know what to expect the only thing he knows is that there is a hole life of pain and adventure waiting for him.
