The Giver Journal Entry

When you are eleven the elders take notes about you for a couple of months they base your chosen job on your actions. I do not agree with the way the elders choose the jobs because as you grow and get older you look at life differently, your actions change and so does your personality. I think that age twelve is too young to choose a job for your whole life. Lets say you were given a job that you did not like or thought it wasn’t right for you would not be able to change it you also have to be with the kids in you group for your job.

I think I would be “assigned to be a teacher for little kids because I love being around little kids I also chose this job because that is what I am told by people I know.
