I think Jonas community is much regulated so they have a ton of different rules which I would think are hard to follow like you can’t be late or else you’re going to have to say an apology. I guess they’d be used to them already. Jonas has these strange dreams called stirrings. My partner and I thought that the stirrings can tell you your future role is going to be and we also discussed that maybe the “government” is hiding secrets from the community like bad secrets so they try to hide them by giving everyone pills. I think they want to keep people from knowing their future roles is because it is part of the rules and the government is crazy about rules.
My ah-ha moment was when I read this chapter it gave me a better understanding of the community that they live in to me it seems like they don’t want people to really love or know the meaning of love. It kind of seems like they want to keep everyone the same not letting them have a relationship with each other they just want to keep everyone like clones where they all act the same, think the same and even live the same life. They want to keep everyone in line and have a perfect community a world where there life’s are planned out for them so they don’t want anyone to make a choice for themselves it seems like they are puppets and the elders are the controllers
