#1 - Are the volunteer jobs in any way related to the job they will get in the future?
#2 - Is there anything for the leaders of the Community to see to choose what job the person will get?
This assignments late. My bad.

1. Are there certain tiers when it comes to jobs? The birthmother job seems to be low-ranking due to Jonas’s mother scolding Lily for hoping to be a birthmother as her job as an adult, and Larissa commented on Edna, saying that she thinks Edna wasn’t smart (Edna was a birthmother). What jobs seem to get you the most respect from people, while what other jobs seem to get you the least amount of respect (I know this is two questions, but I just wanted to add on to make more sense…)

2. Where do you go when you are released? My theory is that there are different places you go to when you are released. For example, I think that a Newchild would end up being released and sent to a different place than someone who violated a law.

(Yes, I know this is late. I’m sorry)

# data[].attributes.body
What other jobs are there in the community and how many can you have? Where were the elders going and Why did the people celebrate?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Do the Old get kicked out of the community or are they put somewhere to die naturally?
2. Do children ever know their birthmothers?

# data[].attributes.body
What would happen if someone didn't apologize for something, what if someone showed late for class and didn't apologize, would they just get chastised, or something worse?

Why do only the elders know what release is, is it something secretive, or something dark that people would freak out about and fear release?

# data[].attributes.body
What types and how many of Assignments are there in the community? How come everyone except the children, allowed to witness releases and how do the ones who are being released feel if they have no clue where they are headed to?

# data[].attributes.body
Why are there rules for the tiniest of things. Why does it matter if they break such a minor rule?
Did Jonas park his bike properly and neatly just to not make himself look sloppy in front of Fiona. Or does he just typically do it that way?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Why were they celebrating when the old people get released and where do they go afterwards?

2. Why was there no comfortable way to talk about their success without breaking the rules and why was it awkward Benjamin?

# data[].attributes.body
Why are the Old the only that can see the release?
Why do releases set back the Caretakers' schedules?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Where do released old people go?

2. Do the kids have grandchildren? Do they know the people that raised their parents in the society?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Why do they think that a birthmother is a bad and dumb job?

2. Why did they not make the poor kid a ceremony just because he didn't have enough volunteer hours?

# data[].attributes.body
1. On page twenty-eight, it says that Elevens must have a certain amount of volunteer hours completed to receive an Assignment. If the hours aren't achieved, the Eleven has a month to complete the quota to be given an Assignment, but in secret with no applause, which is considered disgraceful. Why are volunteer hours needed for an Assignment to be given?
2. After reading the chapter, it seemed not even the Old knew what releasing is, like when Jonas asked Larissa what happened to Roberto when he was released. This means that nobody knows what releasing is and what it may be. Why does the committee keep this a secret?

# data[].attributes.body
On page thirty it states, "He pressed the button on a nearby empty tub and watched as the warm water flowed in through the many small openings on the sides. The tub would be filled in a minute and the water flow would stop automatically". I was wondering if their tubs were like the small feet tubs at the nail shop, but larger?
On page thirty-two it states, "He just bowed to all of us and then walked, like they all do, through the special door in the Releasing Room." If you try to walk through the special door without consent of being released, do you get kicked out of the room, punished, or do you go somewhere secret?

# data[].attributes.body
1. How many hours do you have to complete in order for your volunteer hours to be considered enough so you can become a 12?

2. I wonder why they have so many strict rules that you have to obey.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I wonder why release is such a joyful thing if they don't even know where they are going to end up after being released.

2. I think that later in the book Jonas will go to the releasing room to find out more about the releases.

# data[].attributes.body
!. What would happen to the community if there were no volunteers?
2. Children have many adult-like responsibilities. Why?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Why would bragging be a rule if its only something stuck up to do?
2.The releasing of elders doesn't seem to be that important, because Jonas didn't know about it until and elder told him.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Can the birthmothers who are assigned to give birth to children have children of their own?

2. What happens if the kids never finish their number of volunteer hours?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Are the Elders the people in the House of Old or a different group of elders?

2. Why would Jonas choose to work at the House of Old?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Why aren't kids allowed to watch someone be released?
2. What happens if someone doesn't do the community work?

# data[].attributes.body
1. How many jobs can you have in your life.

2. How many jobs are available to the community?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Why does everyone have to do community work in order to be assigned a real job?  Is this sort of a form of slavery?
2. I believe that there are rules for almost everything and depending on the level of the severity of the broken rule, they are punished.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  What is the real reason that kids can not go the releasing ceremony?

2.  I think the House of Old is like a retirement home that is run almost entirely by kids. I think the adults are there to help kids get service hours and help for big important events.

# data[].attributes.body
1. What and where is the Releasing Room?
2. Why can't children come to the celebration of someone getting released.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I wonder at what age do citizens stop working and go into the old people house.

2. Jonas seems very interested in finding out what "released" means since he questions Larissa about Roberto's release. No one really seems to know what happens after you go through the special door in the release room.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I wonder if after people are released they re-use their names for the new-children?
2. Most people including the elderly don't know what happens when you get released.
