#1:The jobs that have been mentioned so far in the book are nurturer, receiver and elder. Nurturers take care of the babies and make sure the babies are healthy and doing well because if one is not it will be expelled. The receiver is in charge of the rules; he is the person you go to if you want a rule passed. He has the power of deciding on the rules. Lastly elders decide on the twelve year old kid’s job based on their hobbies, talents and interests. So far in the book the jogs in their society are different than ours.
#2: My opinion on the process is mixed. I believe that it is a good thing to take on responsibility at a young age but I also believe that it should be your choice of what you do and how you do it. I think that it is good to try different things but Jonas’s society does not really give this option. I do not think it is good to be assigned to something at such a young age because you are restricted and I think it would be harder to reach out and experience all sides of life. Also you get separated from your friends if they are not assigned the same job as yourself. All in all I think it has more downs and it is not the best way of doing things.
#3: I think I would be assigned as a doctor because I am interested in science and I like taking care of people.
