I think that Jonas’s community is very strict and they want their society to run perfectly, to make that happen they have lots of rules,such as if you start getting your stirrings you have to take a pill to avoid them, until you go to the old age home. I think stirrings tell you about your future and your past,as well as your future job during your dreams. I think that the community Jonas is raised in is keeping some kind of secret,that they don’t want the community to find out about, by having stirrings children can find out about their past like their birthmother, and more, about their future.
