  1. I want to know what Jonas's assignment means and what he does! they don't really explain what his assignment means. I didn't know that there were other jobs. I also thought that he was going to stay an eleven and not be a twelve. Like does his job collect memories and is the old guy with the beard the guy on the cover?

    1. It is confusing because they don't discuss his job we have to guess what he does or what it means.

      Delete
    2. i think he would be successful because he was obviously picked for a reason

      Delete
    3. yeah, it sounds like everybody knows the jobs so they don't explain the jobs to everyone.

      Delete
    4. Yeah, why else would he have been picked, but why does he have this job isn't there more people like Jonas?

      Delete
