Title: The Giver Page 30~60
In the bright morning, Lily was awakening, but Jonas was not, he knew that Lily is never quiet in the morning, or any time. So even though Lily was being annoying, Jonas just waited till his father comes, but he did not because he was busy of bringing the basket up and down. Jonas had to get up because of the noise that Lily is making, again this part makes how the life is complicated, and adults kind of controls the world. Lily says because she like new children, she hopes that she get assigned of birthmother, but her mother gets mad at her because of saying her assignment wants to be birthmother. Birthmother is a job that people take care of new babies for three years, and you spend your rest of your lives in stupid things, which Lily's mother did not want, she wanted Lily to do something that she can enjoy, and useful. In this case, Lily's mom is trying to let her think about her future more seriously, so she won't be wasting her time in her life. Also they talked about the relasing room, which made Jonas to be excited because he wanted to see the relasing room.
Jonas had volunteer time with Asher, who got released by Jonas, but still the best friend, children eight to eleven had volunteer time for developing their skills. Jonas enjoys volunteer hours because they are less regulated than other hours of his day, he gets to choose where he spends them. Today, he goes to the House of the Old, where he notices Asher's bike is parked. In the bathing room, he gives a bath to an elderly woman, he appreciates the sense of safety and trust he gets from the woman, but in this case the rule doesn't exist for the new children or old people. The woman, Larissa, does not understand the rules with forbidden things for the children because she knows that children are learning fast, curious at everything...etc.
Jonas and Asher come back home together, Asher was throwing an apple and catching it, Jonas found interesting thing. The thing that made Jonas interesting was apple with..., and he gets nervous because of Ceremony of the Twelves.
