Jonas was chosen for a very rare job that only one person gets. But this job was not picked out of a hat to go to any random twelve it was meant specially for Jonas. Because he isn't the same as everyone else. Jonas has a special ability because of his special eyes. What struck me with surprise is that no one has had this job in ten years. So this must be a job that stands out to people. Jonas's new job is a Receiver of Memory. The reason why Jonah has this job is because he has the capacity to see beyond. Jonas can relate to this because he saw the apple change, Jonas is both scared and exited because he doesn't know what he is to become. In this community you do not want to be different so Jonas is very nervous and scared. What cools Jonas down is the crowd chanting his name so that makes him more confident and reacted.

Today I go to the ceremonies to see what I'm going to get for a job. The ceremonie of twelve. I've been waiting for this day my whole life but once it's here I'm getting a little nervous, I mean you get a Job that you have to stick with your whole life. As we all sit down I see the looks on peoples faces, some are happy, some are said and some are just bored. I'm the fifth person to be called and I'm more nervous than I've ever been in my life.

 I get the job as a nurturer which I am really happy about. As the ceremonies go on I relize that they skipped number 19 which is a boy in my class who's name is Jonas. Everyone stares at Jonas like he did scdomething wrong. I kinda feel bad for him because he too doesn't know why his number didn't get called.Once everyone was called besides Jonas the Cheif Elder apologized to him and told him and told him he was the new receiver of memory...

Day 3
Today I attended the ceremony of 12 in secret. As of yesterday I am a missing person I have gone underground to a ancient Subway station. It was a weird ceremony of 12 this year, they skipped a child's job and then later told him what his job is, the receiver of memory one of the most hidden jobs and respectable job you could ever get it has been at least 20 years since someone has gotten that job. The twelve was frozen on the stage he had no clue what had just happened, neither did I.
Day 4
I had a good nights sleep to think over what had happened the prior night at the ceremony of twelve. For hours I stared at the cold moist walls of the subway it then dawned on me, the last rule it must have something to do with receiver of memory it has to. When I went to records of sins I found the man that tried to steal the last rule, know I have to find him.

I have always been curious about Jonas. He's an alert, smart, quiet boy. As I was watching the person who was giving the assignments, I realized that it would be  Jonas's turn soon. I felt a rush of anticipation, and I hoped that he would like his assignment. Questions bubbled in my head. How would Jonas respond to his assignment? Would he like it? What would it be? Would he trip and fall as he went to the center of the stage? Calm down Hadley, calm down. I didn't even know WHY I felt a spark for this boy. I just knew that something about him was different. Unusual. All off these thoughts rushed inside of me. Then all of a sudden I realized it was Jonas's turn. I straightened my posture and neatly folded my hands in my lap. But the Assignment Giver kept walking. Shock, anger, confusion, worry-I didn't know WHAT to think. As the ongoing assignments were given, more and more and more questions threatened to drown me. People all around me were having the same reactions as I was. The Assignment giver NEVER made a mistake. Especially not when it was the most important ceremony! Before I knew it, every Eleven had been given an assignment, and all of them were smiling and happy. All except Jonas. With the look that was on his face, Jonas looked like he had committed a crime that deserved releasing! Then, something amazing happened. The Assignment giver had walked back to Jonas, and gave an apology speech-about the confusion and skipping Jonas and his assignment. I think I might've blacked out for a minute or two, because the next words I heard were "Jonas, you were assigned The Receiver of Memory". Complete silence. Everyone was open-mouthed, and staring. Jonas was given the most important assignment. And rarest given.

Danny

Hi my name is Danny. I just got back from the ceremony of twelve. I finally got an assignment. I am an engineer. I will begin my training in a couple months. I can't wait. I always wanted to be an engineer. My older brother Tom is a nurturer. I am glad I'm not him. 

Jonas is my neighbor. I've know him since I was very little. He got the Receiver of memories job. I don't think he understands what the job is. He has training soon which means he will soon understand. I know he was fit for the job.

The Ceremony Of Twelves is today. It has been a while since I introduced myself, so my daughter, Katrina is in the Ceremony. She has been hoping to be a nurturer ever since she could think. But now is the moment of truth.
  I sat in a wooden chair next to Leo and Samuel. Katrina was sitting in the front row in the thirteenth spot, since she was the thirteenth child. 
   "One, Jim Delery, your assignment is Pilot." They called. 
   Two, three, four, five, six, seven. They were all called. My stomach kept churning as thirteen came closer and closer. Eight, nine, ten, eleven.
   "Twelve, Sarah ReCallo, your assignment is Nurturer." Katrina's turn.
   My heart was beating so fast, it felt as if my chest would burst open. I looked across my shoulder to Leo, who was tapping his fingers on his leg like he does when he's nervous. My ears were pounding. My head was suddenly dizzy, and my sight was blurry. All i saw was Katrina stepping onto the black, wooden stage.
   "Thirteen, Katrina Halloway." They said very quikely, but what seemed to take an hour. "Birthmother." 
   That word struck me from behind. Katrina as a Birthmother. Wow.  The crowd clapped and cheered as they did for everyone else. My Katrina a Birthmother...
   

Emily

I'm Emily, and am an 11, soon to be a 12. I live in a family unit with my Mom, Dad, as well as my little brother Max. I love everything about rules. I like following them, and making sure other people do the same. I would say my favorite rule is that everyone has to share there feelings during dinner. I think it adds a sense of comfort, and a little something special. Also I love telling my family unit, especially when I have a very funny dream. I love seeing there faces light up with laughter as they hear my crazy dream. I have to say, I'm quite excited for the ceremony of 12, I can't wait to know what my assignment is going to be. Though, I hope it's nurturer, that my favorite! In my free time, when not doing homework, or studying the book of rules, I often ride my bike. I love the feeling of the wind in my hair, as I glide down the street on my bike. Sorry, gotta go, I have to check the book to see if there re any new rules for the 12's to follow!
See you soon!
