Assignment of being on the Committee of Elders.

One of the reasons why I want and deserve the assignment of a Nurturer, is because I love hanging out with children.

If I were to be attending the ceremony of Twelve, alongside Jonas, I believe that the elders would give me the job of a teacher. I am a very caring person and love to be in a school environment. I have the perfect attitude, I am a usually calm person and when I need to I can take control of the class. I would love being selected as the teacher, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I love to learn and grow as a person, this why I believe that the elders would give the job of a teacher.

If I attended the Ceremony of Twelves with Jonas and his friends, I think the Elders would give me the Assignment of being on the Committee of Elders. According to the text, these people "were the leaders of the community who took the responsibility of assignment selection very seriously that there were never even any jokes made about Assignments. I believe I am responsible and could figure out peoples strengths. I have been team captain on a number of different sports teams and am a strong leader. This is why I feel that being on the Committee of Elders would be a good assignment for me.

I agree with you because as a friend, I know you are caring and gentle because whenever someone's sad, you'll most likely (if you see them first) be the one to comfort them. Also, to add you are very cheerful, during a game of Capture the Flag, you always cheered on your team. As being cheerful, this would help you be a Nurturer because at the Nurturing Center, you could have a child be influenced by your cheerful actions.

If I was in the ceremony of twelves with Jonas, I would think I would get the job of scientist. I think this because not only do I know a lot about science which would be something that the elders would notice. I also think that I would get this job because I analize and try to find new ways to everything. I analyze

whenever I'm at home, I always take care of my grandparents, by giving them medicine, food, and helping them to bed. I believe if I were in Jonas' community, the Elders would walk down my neighborhood and see me through the window taking care of my grandparents. To add, I love the fact of helping others medically, because it makes me feel like I saved someones life, which technically I did. In Jonas' community, I would also most likely be volunteering at hospitals. In my personal life, at school, my classmate got a paper cut, so I helped him get better, whether it was physically or emotionally, and I believe the Elders would take note of this. This is why I believe the Elders will give me the Assignment of Doctor.

I agree with you because in your answer you made me realize that being a chef is so much more than just cooking. You have to be skilled and work well with measurements. Not only do you need to have skill, but you need to have the spirit for it, along with creativity. Great job!

If I was in the ceremony  of twelves with Jonas, I would think I would get the job of a Scientist. This is because I analyze things and think about every single angle of a problem and consider every scenario. I also ask a lot of questions about different subjects. Since scientist always have a question that they want to answer for their own self awareness.

I agree with every thing you said in your writing. But, I am pretty sure that many people who wrote what assignment they would get is there career goal. As I was reading your Note section of your writing it made me wonder if the job employment rate is high. Like you said many career that we want isn't possible in a Utopian society. You want to be a music artist. I want to be a vet. But like the book said, the people living in Jonas's community never saw an animal before....so I don't think it is possible for me to be a vet. Overall I thought your writing was very good. I enjoyed reading it.

If I were to attend the Ceremony of Twelves with Jonas, I believe that the Elders would give me the Assignment of Nurturer. Though there are hundreds of Assignments looming around the Community, I believe that the Elders would decide on Nurturer because of my love of infants. Considering that the Elders would be taking notes/observations of me, along with the rest of the Elevens in school, volunteering, what I do in my spare time, etc. If I was to live in the Community, I would most- likely use my volunteer hours in the nurturing center, especially when it drew near to December. I would probably experiment with other careers, but all in all I would be drawn back to nurturing. I am very reliable being left alone with infants/toddlers, and I enjoy spending time with smaller children. Another reason why the Elders would choose me as a Nurturer is because I believe that I am a fairly patient person who would be able to cope with unhappy babies, but I also have the ability to calm some people (or in this case infants) when they are worked up. Also, I can be very gentle with the infants and I am capable of taking proper care of them. In summary, this is why I believe that the Elders would entitle my Assignment as a Nurturer.

I agree with you! After reading through your response it really showed me that you have all of the qualities to become a great chef for the Utopian society. You also brought up many good points about how being a chef doesn't just mean that your able to make something taste good and not be burnt. Also, to take into account what your writing structure was, it was fantastic! You really put in amazing sensory details while writing your response to this question!

If I were to attend the Ceremony of Twelve with Jonas I believe that the Elders would give me the Assignment of Doctor which I would be extremely happy and surprised about. Being in Utopia society they most likely won't judge if I was better than the other Elevens around me. (However, they might still take that into account.) I believe, that they would look into my records, or take observations on my actions (e.x. volunteering, school records, and what I do when playing). Also, as of late in real life I have quite often been helping my mother with her job, which is pathology and medicine so the Elders would be able to take into account about this detail while observing me. But, I also believe that your personality and actions take roll into what your Assignment is. When I play outside, (or in this case with the other Elevens) if someone were to get hurt I would most likely be the one to take care of the person who got injured. Now you may say, "Well wouldn't that make you to be a Nurturer?" No, it would not. Yes, while a Nurturer would take care of people it would mostly be in the youngest demographic (newborns) not the pre-teens. Furthermore, I can help solve conflict. Conflicts play part into mental health which partially, but surely play into being a doctor. Therapy is part of health, however it may not be as much of an important skill since "The Giver" is taking place in a Utopia. (Please take into account that I am mostly looking at this through my perspective in real life, not through the impression that I would have been raised differently in a Utopian society.)
(Note-Personally I would love to be a doctor, but I still want to write and produce music, but I don't think that would really be an option in a Utopian society right?)

I agree that there are endless possibilities to creation as well as endless possibilities to grow. If you think you have to potential to be an architect, then you can do anything you set your mind to.

If I were to attend the Ceremony of 12 with Jonas, I believe that the elder would give me the assignment in the department of Justice. (This is Jonas's mom job.) The one main reason why Jonas's community is different from our society is because it is a Utopia society meaning that everything is peaceful but in a certain "strict" order. This means that they won't joke on giving somebody a job, because the community might depend on that person. So, the elders will make careful decisions. This means that there would be a possible chance that the elders will look at my grades, social skills and my community or volunteering hours. My grades aren't that bad, my social skill is, "ok" and I will probably volunteer in the place where Jonas's mom works and pretend to enjoy it. Also, the department of justice make good decision. This means that when my friend are arguing somewhere, (especially when there is a elder in front of me) I will counsel them or help them make some sort of compromise. Lastly, I think the elder will choose me because of my personality. Like many people know, I am a  serious person and a strict person. I don't joke around when it comes to my education or my career goal. (Also...I won't have any problems allowing to release somebody) In conclusion this is the reason why I think that if I were in the ceremony of 12 with Jonas I will be chosen to be a person working in the Justice Department.

If I was attending the Ceremony of Twelve with Jonas, I think the Elders would give me the assignment of being a chef. I believe this because I'm patient, determined to learn, and I have the will to cook great dishes. Also, if I learned how to create a variety of dishes, I would most likely be in a kitchen living
my dream. Being a chef doesn't always mean ingredients, fire, and spices, it takes a lot of patience to create a dish to the best of your ability. Determination is also a quality you must have to strive greatly. When you make a mistake, you learn from it and try again. Additionally, it was and still is my long term goal to be a chef. From the very beginning of third grade, I was fascinated by all the flavor combinations that work extremely well together. I always watch many great cooks work, hoping to like them someday. As you can see, if I was in the Ceremony of Twelve with Jonas, I believe that the Elders would give me the assignment of being a chef (If that is an option in the novel).

Please keep in mind that your writing is great, but there are some things I want to clarify. First off, I like the idea how you want to nurture others. The part I would want to see more on is how the Elders would see you. Will they stroll by, or will they look at records (like what you have informed me?) To add on, the idea of thinking of you as caring is agreeable, but how does it help you in your wanting assignment? I know you know that answer, but all you need to do is dig deeper and type it in. To conclude, with these tips you can make your writing better, like how you did it with me. As classmates, that is what we do. :-)

I agree with #23 but would like to add on that the traits that you added in your response greatly add up to the job you have chosen, in this case it was a engineer/architect. Your sign of easy creativity (as said in your response, as you said that if you found a few pieces of building materials, you could easily construct it into something great) is shown throughout the response. With your said traits of planning and constructing, I do also believe that you deserve the assignment architect/engineer.

I would like to agree with your response #6. First of all, I know you are a caring person, you are always optimistic, sweet and happy. These are some very great qualities to have if you were to be assigned to be a Nurturer. Even though you prefer to be an architect or engineer, I think a Nurturer is still a great Assignment for you to have. To add on, since a Nurturer's job deals with kids, and because of knowing all your great qualities, I believe you could nail this job. To conclude, this is why I agree with you #6, because of your kind, caring, and sweet personality.

If I were attending the Ceremony of Twelve, I believe the Elders would honor me with the assignment of a Nurturer. One of the reasons why I want and deserve the assignment of a Nurturer, is because I love hanging out with children. Although I still do wish to get a more advanced assignment (for example, a engineer or a builder), I would still be ecstatic of helping children and taking care of them. The reason why I want the job Nurturer is because with my parents teaching me how to take care of myself first-handedly, I  know what is right and what to do to take care of children. Although it seems bad on the outside, who doesn't want to get paid to play with children? It's probably one of the most fun jobs out thtere that still give you a good pay, as taking care and playing around with Ones and Zeros(?) can sometimes be hard.  $61,874 for the average salary while having fun? Amazing! The last reason why I deserve the job of Nurturer is because I know how to talk to young children, as I had to deal with kindergarteners in Peace Patrol. With my experience, I know what kindergarteners (Threes or Fours) think. As you can see, I truly deserve the assignment of Nurturer.

If I was attending the Ceremony of Twelve with Jonas, I think the Elders would give me the Assignment of an, Architect (if it was one of the Assignments you could be given in the book). I believe this, because to me I'm a crafty type of person. I really love making old things into new ones, especially making things out of cardboard. Once I see some random cardboard scraps laying around, I can almost instantly think of what to make it into from small model homes, to many other things, to me there are endless possibilities. Another reason why I believe my Assignment would be an Architect, is because I also like to draw. I mean, Architects have to have plans before going right into a project. I don't do much drawing as I do crafting things, however I really enjoy it as something to do in my free time. Usually I like drawing cartoony looking characters, and even though I draw cartoon like things, I believe it's still a good skill to have for Architecture. As you can see, these are my reasons why I believe that, the Elders would give me the Assignment of an Architect, because of my crafty mind and drawing abilities

If I were to be attending the Ceremony of the Twelves alongside Jonas, I believe that my assignment would be Nurturer. Although in this current reality I would be unhappy with this assignment (& I would much prefer the assignment of an engineer) I believe if I were to be raised in that society I would be ecstatic if the Committee of Elders had given me the assignment of Nurturer. I believe this because in their society everyone is raised in a specific manner in which everyone is an equal to the others. However, I was inspired to become an engineer/architect by people who weren't equals and are above average, so I believe that if I weren't inspired to become an architect I would be drawn towards a job that interacts with small children, such as a Nurturer. So, I believe this would lead me to spending the majority of my volunteer time at the Nurturing center, then the elders would notice this and would assign me Nurturer. Another reason why I believe this is because I would like to consider myself as a generally caring and gentle person and I feel these qualities would be ideal for a Nurturer and if the Committee of Elders noticed this they may give me the position of Nurturer. So, I believe that if I were to be attending the Ceremony of Twelves with Jonas I believe the elders would give me the assignment of Nurturer.

In my point of view, if I were attending the Ceremony of Twelve with Jonas, the Assignment the Elders would give me is Doctor. Fist off,  I have a bright and unique personality, AND EVERYBODY WILL SEE THAT. When dealing with patients, they would feel soothed and calm. That helps me so much, so I may not need to worry about wails of pain or any sort of negativity. In a community like Jonas', I believe that my job as doctor would be a little easier than in reality. (Even without my attitude, patients would still be attentive and brave, but my emotions STILL HELP!!!) In addition, I believe I am smart enough to become a doctor. Since the Elders HAVE TIME TO OBSERVE ELEVENS, they would see that I am very good in math and science, (maybe by how I act daily.) These subjects would mainly be used when you are a doctor, which gives me a higher chance OF BECOMING ONE. Most of the time, doctors have a high education, and that is what I am aiming for. (Even after learning your Life Assignment, you still have a chance to attend school, so you would be equally educated like others.) As you can see, these are the reasons why I believe that Doctor would be the Assignment the Elders would choose for me if I attended the Ceremony of Twelve with Jonas. I believe that I am smart enough to have the Assignment, and that my unique personality will top it all off. Will the Elders give me that Assignment? Who knows?!
