Blog Bonus: Birthmothers

My opinion on the assignment of a “birthmother” is mixed. It is honourable in the sense that you are chosen to create the children that form the society. Without the role, new generations would not be possible and the society would one day come to an end. This is a very good reason to why birthmothers can be important.

You can also look at from a different point of view. Being a birthmother may seem like you are being used. All the work put towards having three children will not allow you to gain anything, and you are not even able to keep the children. I believe that this is not fair and that the birthmother should receive some credit.

Chapter 6 Questions

Hi Mr. G

I can't print so I hope you can accept this

                        Chapter 6        

 

1.   A child replacement is a child that is given to a family who has lost their previous child. Is it a good thing? Yes and no. Yes because you get a new child because your previous one had been lost, and no because it can bring back bad memories and sadness from the time you lost your child.

 

2. The release of the Elder is a joyful celebration where the Old go to a “better place”. While the ceremony of Loss is a more solemn event on which we commemorate a loss in the community.

Which I think is two separate things.

 

 

3. I think Jonas trusts the committee because they have done this so many times before and our very skilled. Also they have watched every step of Jonas since he became a child.
