Jonas’ father brings a “newchildren”, called Gabriel, to his home. He’s a bit different, because he has such eyes as Jonas. Lily mentions that and says that the baby could be from the same birthmother as Jonas, because almost every citizen in the community has dark eyes, but it’s not a problem if you have lighter eyes like Jonas. They haven’t many mirrors in the community, so Jonas isn’t interested in how his eyes look like and goes to his desk.
Lily wants to play with the baby, but he’s almost asleep so she becomes quiet. Because of liking babies, she hopes that her assignment will be to be a Birthmother, because she also heard that they can do gentle exercises, get good food and that they play most of the time little games. Her mother explains her, that there’s no honor to be a Birthmother, because you have three births in three years and then you will be Laborers, they also don’t see the babies. She says if Lily likes babies so much she should become a Nurturer like her father.
Jonas thinks that it would be better if Lily is a speaker and he thinks about how it would be. He reminds the day, when he plays with Asher with an apple “Throw and Catch”. He took the apple home, because he saw him changing, but when he was at home, the apple didn’t change and he had to apologize it, because you aren’t allowed to take something from the recreation time at home.
I think your summary is very detailed but not too long :)
ReplyDeleteEuh, don't you think the point, that the apple was changing is more important, so that you could tell us more details about this happening? HOW do you think it changed and why?
In my opinion it is the first hint, that the community lives without colours...what do you think?
Yeah ehm...Jonas took an apple and threw it to Asher, who caught it, they did it few times until Jonas saw the apple changing when it was it the air. He asked Asher if he mentioned something, but he didn't, so Jonas took the apple home and looked at it with magnifying glass, but couldn't see something special.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how the apple could changed, maybe some mystrious reflection of the daylight i don't know :D
And to come to the question with the colours: Now, when you mentioned it, it can be true, because their never talked about how does the environment look like, espacially the colours. But i don't know how you come to the conclusion, because of the changing apple, that there're no colours. Can you explain it please ? :)
Well, I just looked for the part in the book, but I don't know, what's the reason for me to think so....at home I will look for this sentence again :)
ReplyDeleteBtw good work on your page :)
