 * __ ﻿Questions: __**
 * 1) ﻿What will Jonas's assignment be? **I think maybe Jonas will be assigned to work with the Giver** Jonas was assigned to be the Reciever.

 * 5) Why do you have to be a Nine to ride a bike? **Maybe thats one of there safety rules in the community.**

 * 14) Why do you say your a 8 instead of saying your 8? **Maybe that's the way they speak.**

__** Theory: **__ I think Jonas does something to upset the Elders so they release him. I think when your released you go to the Givers community which is very different from Jonas's community. There's hate and war and disease and death and sadness. I think the Elder's decision to release Jonas was a test to see if he was brave and if he passes the Giver will train him to make sure Jonas's community stays a happy place. =D **__A2:__** Jonas's community is very different from ours. For example, at the age of Eight, there comfort objects are taken away. In our world, we call them "stuffed animals" and we can keep them as long as we want. Each family unit has to have a mom, a dad, a brother and a sister. Here, you can have as many kids as you want.
