Today we read pages 15-30 of The Giver. The book is starting to make more sense, but their world (or community as they call it) seems strange in comparison to ours. Jonas is feeling apprehensive about his Ceremony of Twelve, a ceremony where all of the Twelves get their assignments for life, because he has no clue as to what his assignment will be. In the book they do odd things like they have to share their feelings from the day with their family and if they break an important rule too many times then they will be "released" from the community. This all seems strange and mysterious to me because I do not know where they go after they are released, but I think that it is one of those Cain and Abel things where they just kind of wander the earth.
