Think about it!

Release of newchildren was always sad, because they hadn’t had a chance to enjoy life within the community yet. And they hadn’t done anything wrong. There were only two occasions of release which were not punishment. Release of the elderly, which was a time of celebration for a life well and fully lived; and release of a newchild, which always brought a sense of what-could-we-have-done. This was especially troubling for the Nurturers, like Father, who felt they had failed somehow. But it happened very rarely. (pgs. 7-8) 

Think about it (Release of the elderly) 

At the House of Old they release individual patients. The ceremony/celebration involves: the telling of their life, cheers, chanting of anthem and lovely goodbye speeches. The then exist off to a release room.

 Ch 12 Think about it!

Jonas soon realizes he is seeing the color red. This means, the community does not see color. Resorting to sameness meant taking away color. (No differences, everything the same = sameness). Start considering things that the community does not feel or go through and that Jonas will. Will this become a problem? 

Ch 13 Think about it!

Jonas learns that the community does not have the option of choice - because people might make bad ones. How does this effect your life? 

The Receiver keeps all the memories, good and bad, so that the citizens don't have to carry the pain. What does that mean for The Receiver? Did he choose this life? What if he doesn't want to be the carrier or memories?
