Chapter 3-5 / Differences between the real life and the community

My task for chapter 3-5 will be to list the differences between the real life and the community:


Real life :

If you get a child you are the mother and father of the child and it is your choice how many children you will get.
You aren't commited to talk about your dreams in the morning and your feelings in the evening to your hole family.
You don't have ceremonies after each year in every december or other month until you are twelve and of course with twelve you aren't  an adult.
You don't have to to some volunteer hours and days and you won't be observed from older people the hole life.
You don't have to take any pills if you get stirrings.



In the community :

You can't give a birth to child whereever you want you have to be a birthmother and as a birthmother you doesn't have the chance to see your new born baby.
You aren't allowed to have more than two children only one female and one male child.
You have to talk in the morning about your dreams and in the evening you have to talk about your problems and fears with your family.You are commited to do that because it is a ritual.
You have to go to the annual ceremonies until you are twelve.
You will be an adult if you have passed the "ceremony of twelve".
Before you will get your profession in the community you have to do the volunteer hours where you want but you are observed from the elders and they will find the right profession for you when you are twelve.This is called the "ceremonie of twelve" and the last ceremony.
You have to take some pills if you get stirrings because a rule said that "ATTENTION :A REMINDER THAT STIRRINGS MUST BE REPORTED IN ORDER FOR TREATMENT TO TAKE PLACE." (p.36 l.14/15)

  1. This is a very interesting idea - comparing Jonas' community to our society. You have observed very carefully what is different in the 2 "worlds". I would be interested to know which community you like better and why.
