In this book Jonas, the main character, lives in an abnormal society. At age twelve, you get a job, Elders watch every child all the time, and a child, along with a name for them, is given to a family unit instead of being born into a family. However, people in this society thinks that this is just how the world works, and the is no reason to question it. It is fascinating how their society compares to ours.

In this book, I really related to Jonas being afraid when he first becomes the Receiver of Memory. Jonas was nervous, didn't know what to expect, and feared the worst. When I was in my first dance competition, I didn't know anything about the scoring, and didn't know if my dance would be good enough for this competition. Jonas related to me in that sense, so that part of the book really stood out to me.

In this book, assignments are always given to children that are turning twelve. However, in the middle of the ceremony, the person giving out assignments skips over Jonas! Jonas begins to panic and worry until she finally calls his name. Jonas ends up receiving the most honored job in the community, Receiver of Memory, but this job requires pain and hard work. While reading, I felt worried and scared for Jonas.
