This is the part when Jonas realizes he has been selected (not assigned) as the next receiver of memory. This is important because he will be trained without others and will be separated. It further shows how he is unique in the society. From this moment forward, Jonas is not just another 12, but a receiver of memory and is very important.

In this part, Jonas realizes that he is skipped during the Ceremony of Twelves. The fact that he is different is consistent throughout the book. For example, his eyes can see some color. As Jonas says, the Chief Elder makes no mistakes, so this moment could be important, as he might be selected for a "unique" job or might not even get a job at all.

pg 56
Throughout the book, we notice some jobs that are not common in our society. For instance, birthmothers and caretaker of the old. The jobs of giving birth to all the children in the society and bathing old people is not common in the world we live in. A possible reason for this to be written could be to show how the two worlds are different. The author wants to portray a different dystopia rather than what we live in today.

Jonas realized that something had changed to the apple while he was playing catch with Asher. This contributes to the theme of the story since it is the first time Jonas realizes or notices that he is different from other people and could see the change they couldn't.

pg 53
The author consistently writes that everyone is pleased with their jobs that they are given. I think that the author mentions that everyone is happy to further depict that the citizens believe they are in an utopia. Although, we disagree that the setting is a utopia, for them it would feel like a utopia by getting a job you liked selected for you.

When Asher was younger, he used to confuse two words: smack and snack. He got punished whenever he said he wanted a smack instead of snack and he realized the importance of words in this society and stopped talking to prevent it. This moment helped Asher talk with greater precision and develop himself.

Jonas saw color again when he was on the stage getting his assignment, just like when he saw color while he was throwing the apple. The idea of color and change comes out repeatedly in the story and is hinting that something important related with color will appear in the story later on.

They talk about stirrings; which is to get over excited, and to reduce arousal they take pills, we think this is not a good reason why they should take the pills, it could severely harm them later on their lives.

Memory Moment
pg 23-24
This is a memory moment when Jonas remembers a time that he saw a change in an apple. He reflects on how he saw change, but his friend did not. He found this to be interesting and brought it home without consent. This is important because it further shows that Jonas is different, because he can see certain changes while others cannot.
