It's time for the Ceremony of Twelve and Jonas lined up with all the other elevens. They are lined in order, the order of which who was born first to last. Jonas was 19. I couldn't believe. I thought he really was twelve! I thought he was twelve because, well in the previous chapter, he probably started reaching puberty, and puberty starts at somewhere that time.
When Jonas's turn comes, the Chief Elder skips over him and goes to twenty.What happened?! Why did the Elder skip over him. It humiliated him. Did Jonas do anything wrong? It was weird. I don't think he did anything. But the unfortunate twist turned into something good. The Elder told Jonas that he was being put into a very special position. It was the "Receiver of Memory" He was really happy. The current person that holds that position is an old man with a beard who has the same pale eyes as Jonas. In order to be a Receiver of Memory, you got to have integrity, courage and wisdom, Jonas thought he didn't have that. He changed his mind the minute he saw the people cheering for him, chanting his name. I felt really proud because it was really awesome. People cheering his name. I think that he will have a lot of tough work to do, but he would be able to handle it. Everbody now started to respect him, things will be quieter at his house.
