What has happened so far is that Jonas is a man that lives in a community that has a lot of rules and is very strict. In this community there is a lot of ceremonies. One of them that Jonas is really nervous about the Ceremony of Twelve that is like a graduation. In this community your future is very important so every kid before their Ceremony of Twelve all kids have to do volunteer hours. Jonas, Asher and Fiona are volunteering to go to The Old. In The Old Jonas had already volunteer there so he knew some people. The Old was a place were old people stayed before they were released. Jonas was bathing and old lady and she started to talk about a birthmother named Edna. Birthmothers are ladies that have kids and these kids are given to a mother and father in the ceremony of One. The old lady's name was Larissa so she started to talk about meaningful life. There was a man named Roberto which had a meaningful life because has a good jobs and raised two wonderful kids.
My textual reference is "He made a lovely good-bye speech. And several of us made little speeches wishing him well. I didn't, though. I've never been fond of public speaking." My reaction to this was that its very impressing that someone cant be fond to public speaking. I don't like to talk much in public but not as exaggerated as Larissa. In my opinion Larissa should've said something to Roberto when he was being released.
My final thoughts are that I think that the released people they are killed. I think this because why do they do a GOOD-BYE just for a release. Also this is in my mind because people wouldn't be so drastic about a release unless is killing.
