Chapter 10- Bram

I think that if you were living in Jonas’ society you would need many things to be successful and happy. The first major thing would be being very conforming and trustworthy. You would need to be able to follow rules easily. I can be a little bit of a trouble maker sometimes and I would find this really hard. I’d probably get a lot of smacks. Almost everybody in this book is all polite and conforming. You don’t hear a lot of people breaking the rules. I also think you’d have to be modest as an adult. The penalty for showing your body to another is a major rule. You should obviously have the same kind of things you have here. You should be smart, energetic, fun. Almost all of the people in this society have all these things. Almost all of them are close to perfect.
I think that a lot of my normal qualities like brains, strength, and other things of that sort would help me. The fact that I think for myself would be very hard. I am not very good at following. This would make my life in this society extremely hard. The only job Id be good at it is the Committee because I could give my opinions and they would affect the community for the better.
