Chapter One

Jonas, A young boy at the age of eleven. He tells a story of when he was a ten and a Jet flew
over the community all were ordered to stay inside from the intercoms. After a few minutes, 
everybody in the community was told that he was a new pilot and would be dismissed. We learn 
that december is a very exciting time for all children and adults. All children that are born during 
the year are given the same birth date. some may be walking, other may be just a few days old.
Also, only fifty children are allowed in a group each year. so if their are 60 children born, 10 will
be dismissed.

Chapter Two

Jonas was eager to become a twelve. He knew that once you became a twelve you receive an 
assignment. His father told him a story about how he knew he would work at the children 
development center. He said that when he was released from school every day he would go to
the Nurturing Center where the new born children were kept. The Elders watched him and knew
that he loved the babies. So when he became a twelve, The committee gave him the assignment
of working at the Nurturing Center. Jonas had no idea what his Assignment would be. He was very
excited and nervous for the big day.
