Chapter9

<Story>

The Ceremony was ended with the last announcement  to  Jonas.  Jonas had a little bit confused and slightly uncomfortable feeling by the Chief Elder’s words and the introduction sheet. Now, still the friendship between Asher looks nothing changed yet, but the given position “Receiver of Memory” seems to make his life style completely change. There are 8 points to be requited for Jonas, and everything is not clear for him at this time. The point is that his job is totally different from other citizens' Assignments, and he will be empowered in some occasion as Receiver of Memory.

<Impressions>

Oh, how pity Jonas is. Many rules in this story are strange, but this job is extremely  strange stuff….Making training secret for family and other people and you may lie?! The job sounds very isolated from the normal citizen’s life in the community. I guess that the previous female Receiver might get mental problem because of this strange job condition. About the episode of their precision language, it sounds really interesting and I hope I can behave like them!hahaha From the comparison between this community and our world, I recognized that we need “LIE”  to live in our world. Hahahahah I won’t say they are robots, but if people never lie, then people may become very quiet.  Is that possible in the situation which people are physically satisfied with your life?
