__**Wonders**__
1. What is up with the family unit? 2. Why does each family unit recieve one girl and one boy? 3. Are the parents actually married? Is there a marrige ceremony? 4. Are there any cars? Is a bike the only vechicle? 5. Why does there need to be a birth mother to have other people's kids?

** 1. __Girls have to wear hair ribbons under the age of nine.__ **
That seems really strange to me. In our world it's optional. Maybe it's to keep their hair neat.

** 2. __Seeing other people naked is not allowed excecpt at the Old Folk home.__ **
How can the kids be comfortable with bathing an elder. We kinda have a rule like that but it's not like a rule that could get us "//released//".

** 3. __Every kid gets a "comfort object" that is a stuffed mythical creature but the creatures are just normal animals to us.__ **
Do these people have a law against animals? Do they not know what these things are so they call them mythical? We call a vampire or a unicorn mythical creature. We get to keep our stuffed toys as long as we want.

** 4. __What is the point of recreation/volunteer hours?__ **
I think the point of them are just to see what intrests each child so the people who give the lifelong jobs know what to give you. It's kinda like volunteer hour s in our world. We help out because we want to not because we have to.

5. __Why do newborns have to be assigned to their family unit?__
We get to stay with our birth family and not get assigned to a new home. I think you should be able to live with your birth mother.

My connection is that my Oma lives in a care facility so I can can kinda picture what the Old Folks home in the book looks like. My Oma's facility is like a hospital and a retirement home put together in one .
