恶魔的尾巴

chapter 5
Here it is, another unusual thing about our main character. He rarely dreamed. The paragraph is about a morning ritual called dream-telling. Apparently, everybody in the community has to tell others about their dreams.
As we know, Jonas rarely dreamed. But this time, he had a dream that he could remember, very vividly. And it’s also odd. He didn’t pay much attention to his sister’s dream-telling, he was thinking of his own. It troubled him. And that sentence caught my attention immediately. Something odd happened in Jonas’s dream, and it’s important. I later learned that Jonas’s dream was about his first “stirrings”. I couldn’t understand the dream when I read the story the first time, when I was eleven, but now I do, and it’s kind of embarrassing. And, to be honest, my heart jumped when Jonas said about the wanting in his dream.
I then find out that the “stirrings” had to be treated, in the community----with a little pill that they took all of their adult lives. It seamed much reassuring, but it also seemed un-natural.
At the end, when the pill did it’s work, the word “slip” was used brilliantly, especially the part when the author compared the way when the dwelling had slipped behind Jonas and the feelings slipping from his mind.

Chapter 6
The ceremonies have started. All of the citizens in the community went to the Auditorium to take part of it. The ceremonies of the age groups were described, and the changes’ symbolism told.
For instance, the ones were named and assigned to their family units; the fours wore jackets that buttoned down the back, to help them learn interdependence. The sevens wore ones that button down the front, a sign of independence. The eights receive permission to do volunteer hours, and the nines get their own bikes.   
Then the anxious wait for the ceremony of Twelve. The story of the release of Rosa was first known by Jonas, from Asher. It was a pretty hooking chapter, not because it’s exciting, but because that it’s going to be exciting when we find out what Jonas’s assignment would be.

Chapter 7
This paragraph started with the explanation of the numbers in age group. Every child has a number, in the order when they were born. Jonas is Nineteen.
On the ceremony, the Chief Elder told about Asher’s “silence” when he was a three. Then, Jonas’s turn came.
I held my breath along with him.
Then, the word “twenty”. I was as stunned as our main character! I remembered well the Jonas was Nineteen. But I was excited too. The moment had come when the unusual things start to happen!
When the others in Jonas’s age group “glance at him then avert their eyes, embarrassed”, I was feeling just as if I was in Jonas’s shoes. I easily get bashful and nervous in public things. It seems that Jonas isn’t as shy, but he’s in a pretty awkward situation too. He tried to disappear in his seat, to be smaller and attract less attention.

Chapter 8
Jonas was more nervous than he had ever been before. Nobody else was singled out, whilst only he was. The community was confused, there were whispers, everybody was ill at ease. At last, when the Chief Elder apologized to the whole community, they calmed down a little, but they were still very silent.
When the Chief Elder said that Jonas was selected, all the people gasped, and Jonas was even more bewildered. Then the Chief Elder told him about the training of the Reciever and Jonas got more and more “unbrave” by the minute when he heard about the separateness and the loneliness acquired. Especially when he heard about the “Capacity of Seeing Beyond”.
But, at that moment, the strange apple incident cut in, and all the faces of the people seemed red to Jonas just for an instant.
And just because of that strange incident, Jonas gained a little confidence. He, for the first time, believed that maybe, just maybe, he really had enough courage, to except the honor.
