Chapter Two

Chapter two consists of many odds and ends. First of all, it starts out with Jonas and his parents telling him about the Ceremony of the Twelve. Now the Ceremony of the Twelve may sound funny to you but during the next chapters it will seem to make more sense. Anyway, Jonas and his parents are talking and they start to talk about age groups. Now what they are doing is called sharing-of-feelings. Sharing-of-feelings takes place during or after dinner and it is pretty much when you tell about how your day was and what you were feeling that day. In the morning you do sort of the same thing except you tell what you dreamt about over the night. Back to the Ceremony of the Twelve. The ceremony takes place during December along with the other ceremonies. This is sort of like a birthday but for everyone 12 and under. You gain and lose things as you get older, but the Ceremony of the Twelve is your last ceremony. You lose track of how old you are when you past that age. But the Ceremony of the Twelve is when you get an assignment or a job. I will tell you about the jobs in chapter three.
