Story Summary
Chapters 1 to 10
The story starts in November with Jonas, who is eleven years old. Jonas lives in “the community” where cargo planes bring the supplies. One day, he was terrified by the noise of the jets as they took off and landed. He also remembers that all the people were ordered to step inside as the jets started hovering around them.
December is a very important month for the eleven-year-olds in the community. Therefore, Jonas is nervous about the coming month.
Jonas and his family have dinner. They perform a ritual where each of them has to come forward to express their feelings. First, Lily comes forwards and expresses her feelings, and then Jonas’ father and mother, and finally he comes forward and says he wishes he could hold himself back from expressing his fears but goes on to say that he is a bit nervous about the December ceremony.
There are two important events that take place in December. They are the Ceremony for the Ones and The Ceremony of Twelve. Every year, the kids get special prizes, like at age nine, when they get a bicycle. Though they break a rule, it happens. The rules are decided by the elders.
