I think that they will tell jonas's assingment at the end of the ceromony istead of telling them in the order that they are supossed to do it. I still think that they are going to give him a special assingment to him because they would't usaly skip a person.
I think that the Elder skipped giving Jonas his assignment because she has something important about Jonas that she feels should wait until the end. I think it might be something about his eyes, because he is one of two people who have light colored eyes, while the rest of the community has dark colored eyes. Maybe the way his eyes are allow him to do a special assignment. I feel as nervous as Jonas is, and I wonder how this is all going to work out.
I predict that Jonas will be given a higher assignment. I think this because of his eyes. The head elder says that it is time to honor their differences and that is Jonas' difference. The book says that his eyes give him a deep look so maybe he will have a deep job.
Carly.R The events in chapter four were very exciting. Why did Jonas not get a job? I think that Jonas will recive a job in the next chapter. I think that job that Jonas will recive will be so important that he will have to recive it away from the crowd. I think that the job the job that he will recive will be rare and a great honnor to recive.
In Chapter 7, the Ceremony of Twelves finally had started. Jonas, who was number Nineteen to be told his assignment beceause he was the Nineteenth Eleven to be born that year, waited patiently as Asher recieved Assistant Director of Recreation and Fiona recieved of Caretaker of the Old. When it was finally his turn, all of a sudden the Chief Elder skipped number Nineteen! Jonas became very nervous as she continued to tell the rest of the newly turned Twelves their assignment. He was very confused and upset. I don't think that the Chief Elder skipped him as an accident. I believe that she was saving Jonas for last because he would recieve a special assignments that is not normal like the other assignments. I think this because of how different Jonas is than the rest of the people in the community. Including his light eyes. However, I have no idea what the job could be. - Ellie G.
I predict that Jonas will get a bigger assignment. I think this because of the color of his eyes. Since he has light eyes he might get a better assignment because he is different from most people of the community. People mistake him for being powerful and independent, that they think he can do something more esily than others, in my mind I believe this is true. Also at the end of the chapter it said that he bowed his head and thought what he had done wrong, From that statement I predict thathe will think that he is useless although people think that is can overcome an assignment better thatn some people.
I think that Jonas will recive his assingment privately, after the ceremony, because, as far as I know, his assignment is very important. I think that everyone will continue to think that he did something wrong, and Jonas will be embarrased until after the ceremony. Or, maybe after the ceremony, the leader will pull him aside, and have him meet the Giver. I think this because the back of the book says he gets the assignment of working with the Giver, who sounds like a very important person, and maybe he's so important or the job is so important, that the assignment isn't given at the ceremony, in front of all the people.
I think that Jonas will be released because he commited some horrible crime that they didn't mention in the book. Maybe it's because his eyes are different colors than other people's.
In this chapter they being the ceremony of twelve. Jonas, since he was born 19th out of all the kids in the twelves group, was supposed to be called twelvth. During the ceremony though, they skipped nineteenth. Since they skipped him, he got very apprehensive and nervous. I definitely think that it is because he will get a special job. Jonas is a very special, different and unique twelve. I definitely think that the society knows this. They will probably announce his job in the next chapter, secretly though, like one on one, not infront of a crowd. I am very much in suspense about what job he will recieve.
Virginia D I believe that jonas is getting a higher class job. The reason that it isnt getting announced is because mabey its classified and others can not know. If it was something bad they probably would have told him not to show up the ceremony. After they will most likeley will pull Jonas aside and tell him.
Tori B. Based on chapter seven, I predict that Jjonas will be skipped because he is so different. I predict this because Jonas has spent volunteer hours at several places but doesn't really know what he wants to do. Maybe he will be released.
I think that Jonas is going to be given an assignment doing something with “The Giver”. I think that The Giver is the speaker that comes on the loudspeaker. I think that Jonas is going to have to be like or spy or something and walk around the community and see what’s wrong. He will then have to return what he found to The Giver, so he can make an assignment. I also think that Jonas was skipped on purpose because he will receive the most important assignment in the community. I feel bad for Jonas because everyone is staring at him and he feels like a failure.
In chapter seven Jonas is waiting during the ceremony of twelves to recieve his job. Jonas was supposed to get his job right after Fiona, but after they announced Fiona's job, the Elder skipped over Jonas and kept going on in order. Jonas is finally the last person in his group without a job, and then the chapter ended. Jonas feels as though he has done something wrong in the community to not get a job, and that that he is getting punished by not getting his job at first. Unlike Jonas, I don't think that he is getting punished because Jonas always tries to please the elders and older family members by going out of his way to be helpful or showing kindness to his peers. I predict that Jonas is being rewarded by going last to get his job, and the Elder will give the crowd more of a description of Jonas' life. After the description I predict that Jonas will get a rare job with more importance. One reason I think this is Jonas hasn't really presented himself to the community showing people what job he really desires. The community may see this, and want to present Jonas with a more special, rare, complicated job because they feel by spreading community service hours he will be the wisest in his group and most willing to help out in different ways. Although I strongly believe that Jonas will be rewarded for all his hard work by being presented with a job of greater importance, I don't know what the job will be because Jonas' community is so different from ours with jobs and rules.
I think that Jonas's new job is special. The job that he is given is more unique than all of the others. Jonas's job assignment must be given separately, at a different time. If the elder never makes mistakes, mabey she has something special to say about Jonas's assighnment that she feels is better said at the end of the ceremony. Emma M
I think that Jonas did something interesting, that other children wouldn't do, so they're giving him a very important job. Jonas is very different from the other children, so he might get a different job. He notices many different things, that other people fail to see.
I think that Jonas will get his job in the next chapter and that it might be a special job that is hard to get. I think this because the Chief Elder herself said that it is now time to honor their differences. I think Jonas has a difference that no one else knows about, not even him.
~Bryce~ Many things could be caused by what happened in Chapter 7. When Jonas is skipped, he immediately feels terror and anxiety. Jonas's parents are no doubt very worried at the moment. I predict that Jonas's job is so special, that it has to wait until the end of the ceremony because it might take so long to explain and to show him how important the job he is receiving is.
Since they skipped Jonas in the end of chapter seven, I think they are going to single him out for a job that's different from everyone elses. I think that this might be a special job, and that maybe he won't want it and will try to apply for another job. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong.
Jess M I think that they didnt give Jonas his assignment yet because they maybe had to talk to him about why he didn't choose a specific place to do his volunteer hours at. The council might have been a little confused on where to put him. Or on the total other hand, maybe Jonas's assignment was to important to present in front of a big crowd. Some people might take it offensive while others might think it's a wonderful privilage. Maybe Jonas is the "chosen one".
I think that the reason that Jonas was skipped is that his job is either were important or is very bad. Based on the past Ceomonies, people usally aren't skipped, So I think that Jonas must have been chosen for something
