Chapter17

<Story>

The day is holiday in the community, and it passed almost for 1 year since he became Twelve.  4 weeks passed since he has stopped taking the pill. Now he was in the deep happiness.  Stirring has returned and he enjoyed dreams. The life was also colorful because he got full color sight now. However, it was not able to return to the same feeling of his childhood. Shooting game was not fun anymore even if he played with Fiona and Ash. At home, Lily talked family how it was wonderful  in the holiday. The toddler Gabriel  grew up until he steps by himself. Farther becomes busy in near future for the newborn twins.  About twins, the community doesn’t allow twins, so light weight baby will be released. Jonas and Lily are pondering where the one of twins need to be sent. Jonas is worried a little bit. However, Jonas’ s father seemed to be not caring about the baby who needs to go elsewhere.  Lily’s non-stop chatter about the mysterious one of the twins keeps going, and her imagination story grew up continuously.

<Impression>

Does father have normal emotion? I am mystified by his father’s attitude. About the baby’s  unknown whereabouts , how he could explain to son playfully? Now I noticed they don’t really worry or think deeply about the meaning of release. Scientist in our world says that the difference between animals and human beings is “emotion”. From this chapter, I got the impression that they are similar to animals.

Citizens obediently follow the rules, and they become serious(or emotional) with something related to transgression around each of them…I liked Ash, but he was also strongly influenced by the community’s rules….No, it is not. Ash is Ash, but he just doesn’t know anything. That’s the point. hmmmm 

I pondered the difference between informed  Jonas and ignorant  Jonas.  Clever or not clever? Human being or animals?  I think we can drink beer whole night ,discussing about this question. hahahaha
