Finally, when all the Twelves have gotten their assignments, the Elder addresses the fact that she skipped Jonas. She apologizes, and everyone ritualistically chants, "We accept your apology."
She goes on to say that Jonas has not been assigned; rather, he has been selected.
Selected to be…
The Receiver of Memory.
Evidently, this a big deal, because the crowd all basically gasps.
The Chief Elder explains that the community has only one Receiver at a time, and that the current Receiver—an old man—trains the next one.
Everyone looks over to the Committee of Elders where the current Receiver—indeed a very old man—sits. He has pale eyes, just like Jonas.
The Chief Elder explains that they tried to pick a new Receiver about ten years ago, but it failed. This is clearly an uncomfortable topic for everyone, so she quickly moves on.
There's no room for error here, she says, so they've been careful in selecting Jonas, who now has to lead what is portrayed as a mostly solitary life.
Oh.
Then she starts listing all of Jonas's qualities which qualify him to be The Receiver: intelligence, integrity, courage (there will be pain, she says), and wisdom (although Jonas doesn't have this yet, he'll soon be acquiring it. By the boatload).
There is one more quality, she says, "The Capacity to See Beyond."
Jonas is just about to object and explain that, actually, he doesn't have any special Capacity, when he looks over the crowd and sees them "change," the same way the apple once did.
So he says to the Chief Elder that yes, indeed, he does sometimes see something.
So everything is hunky-dory. The crowd chants his name and Jonas is both proud and fearful of what is to come.

A Walk to Remember.
Being a cancer patient myself, I understand how both might experience what they did. She was angry with him because he reminded her that she may not see graduation let alone marriage.
He lacked a lot of understanding in the beginning until she tamed him. He couldn't possibly understand, even at 18, what her problem was. Was it God? Was it what was left unfinished? Was it how he cleverly manipulated her deepest wishes -- like being in two places at once. Slowly she began to see that he was adapting to a philosophy of "Not me but thee." Like marriage. She looked the part of an emaciated cancer patient especially in the hospital.
The scene that is particularly heartbreaking for me was the scene between Landon and his father. I am a parent and I know how it feels to be dressed down by your kid especially when that kid is right. The father must have felt Landon's helplessness. So he did something about it. It is not unrealistic; it is just what fathers do.
It is a not to miss movie or book. Any well stocked library has a copy of one or the other or both.
It would be the third answer “We are reading Bridge to Terabithia by Kathrine Paterson” because of the everything that needs to be capitalize is capitalized and punctuation is right
