Though he name and family who applied for a respected his father’s work, Nurturer would not be his wish. And he child. The upcoming Twelves, like didn’t envy Laborers at all.” (Lowry 20). This helps me understand Jonas, are assigned a career by the why Jonas feels apprehensive about the Ceremony of Twelve. Committee of Elders based on what Considering the fact that Twelves are given careers that the Elders they are observed to be interested in find suitable for them, Jonas is nervous because he has no clue what and best at.

Ceremony of Twelve because there is a possibility that he could get an Assignment he really does not like. He does not even know what he wants to get to begin with. He worries he will be disappointed with his Assignment. Find evidence in Chapter 2 that further helps you understand the setting. Explain how/why The evidence in Chapter 2 that further helps me understand the setting is when the text states, “He remembered when his family received Lily, the day she was named, the day that she had become a One. The ceremony for the Ones was always noisy and fun. Each December, all the newchildren born in the previous year turned One. One at a time --- there were always fifty in each year’s group, if none had been released ---- they had been brought to the stage by the Nurturers who had cared for them since birth…‘The year we got Lily, we knew, of course, that we’d receive our female, because we’d made our application and been approved. But I’d been wondering and wondering what her name would be.’...He remembered his mother taking the newchild, his sister, into her arms, while the document was read to the assembled family units. ‘Newchild Twenty-three,’ the Namer had read. ‘Lily.’...The children all received their bicycles at Nine; they were not allowed to ride bicycles before then…There was talk about changing the rule and giving the bicycles at an earlier age. A committee was studying the idea…Rules were very hard to change…‘Well, it’s the last of Ceremonies, as you know. After Twelve, age isn’t important. Most of us even lose track of how old we are as time passes, though the information is in the Hall of Open Records, and we could go and look it up if we wanted to. What’s important is the preparation for adult life, and the training you’ll receive in your Assignment.’...Many of the comfort objects, like Lily’s, were soft, stuffed, imaginary creatures. Jonas’s had been called a bear…they watched affectionately as Lily and her father headed to her sleeping-room with the stuffed elephant that had been given to her as her comfort object when she was born.” (Lowry 11 - 19). These pieces of evidence help me further understand the setting because they highlight how everything is assigned or given to a person. No one gets to choose things that people should usually be able to choose. For example, children are assigned an age as a group and they are given to a family. In addition, they are even given names before they are given to the family. Families have to apply and get approved in order to receive a child. Each December there is a Ceremony where each age group from One to Twelve receives something special. And, it is possible for little children to be released once they are born. There are also a lot of rules about how people should live and what they should do. They even have rules for when they could begin riding bicycles. If there is an issue, a committee studies the idea, but rules are hard to change. Oddly, after Twelve, age does not matter and no one keeps track of it.  Finally, young children received a comfort object, which is an animal. However, in their world, they do not know of animals and believe them to simply be imaginary creatures. This goes to show that the setting is in a dystopian community because of how strict the community is. There are rules for practically everything, even minor details. In addition, everything that makes up basic life is assigned to a person. People do not get to choose anything.
