Prompt: Summarize
Jonas is part of a perfect community, or utopia if you will, and it all starts out with a weird event. A jet flies right over the community! Later on, the pilot was released, giving us a new term. (Later on they tell us that elders are released.) We find out his best friend is a boy named Asher, also he has a daughter named Lily. Each "Family Unit" only has 2 children. A boy and a girl. There are ceremonies each year. For new children and things for them.
As Jonas is approaching 12 where he gets assigned a job, he starts stressing out and getting feelings. They call it stirrings. I think it's when you start to develop feelings for someone. He starts talking to his parents about it. He feels like after he won't see his best friend Asher again after the assignment.
Jonas watches his sister get her new jacket as the ceremonies start. The next day the assignments are given out with bikes to the nine year-olds. As the assignments to the less important characters are given, Asher's turn nears. Asher gets the most laughs and applause with the directer of the recreation center. As they go on they skip Jonas. Everyone's confused and anxious. He gets the job that selects one person and they can't back out. He's the memory remember guy thing. He begins his training the next day with a memory of riding a sled in snow.
