Giver Chapters 9

In chapter 9 Jonas had been given a file, like everyone else, but his was very thin it contained only one page on witch there were the rules for being the receiver, there were only 8,they were:

  1. Go immediately at the end of school hours each day to the Annex entrance behind the house of the old and present yourself to the attendant.
  2. Go immediately to your dwelling at the conclusion of training hours each day.
  3. From this moment you are exempt from rules governing rudeness. You may ask any question of any citizen and you will receive answers.
  4. Do not discuss your training with any other member of the community, including parents and Elders.
  5. From this moment you are prohibited from dream-telling.
  6. Except for illness or injury unrelated to your training, do not apply for any medication.
  7. You arse not permitted to apply 4 release.
  8. You may lie.

He was okay with most of the rules but the last one scared him.

This is a stupid summary, you should make it more interesting instead of it being the way it is now.



Someone you know

Alex-
yea i agree with "someone you know" a little bit because the summary that you posted wasn't that intresting and if i hadn't read the book and was looking at ur post i might not read it. Anyway, the rest of your post was good.
