The Giver

The previews week chapter on Jonas lives in a controlled society. The people have not that much of liberty on what they want to do and be in the future. They have lots of rules that have to be followed or you get released. Jonas has to complete the volunteer hours or they will be a deception to the community. Jonas thinks that the only things that you get freedom in are the volunteer hours.  Jonas will finish his volunteer hours and soon will get a gob in the ceremony of 12. The ceremony of 12 is a important tradition in Jonas community that is when you get an assignment for the rest of your life. In they're community the elders watch them and how hey are to give them a assignment. His sister  will get a bike because she is  on a  ceremony of nines. Jonas had started having stirrings for Fiona and has to take a pill to not have them.  Jonas father is taking care of Gabriel a baby so he dose not get realized from the community.

They don't get a choice on where to work 

They don't have the choice on many things like in page 37 "your ready for the pills, that's all. That's the treatment for Stirrings" (stirring are feelings for other people) why do they take love of the kids and adults. I connected this to the Truman show when they don't let him leave. On page 50 " The numbers where rarely used after the name" they gave the people numbers and names that they couldn't chose or change.

they treated them like robots

the manipulate the people to much and they should have more liberty.
