In the first two chapters, you meet Jonas the main character and learn a little more about the background of where he is from. He is forced by the strict rules of his society to follow certain rules of life. Every home meal he must share his feelings and dreams. There is a loudspeaker that makes official announcements and there is a punishment called being "released".  You also learn that in December there is a coming of age ceremony, where each age group within the community has a big change. Jonas will be turning twelve, which means that he and all the other elevens will be getting their job in the community that they keep for the rest of their lives. Each person does very specific things in their job and have labels, for instance Jonas's dad is a Nurturer and he takes care of all of the babies. One day he brings home a baby boy named, Gabriel, no one is supposed to no this, who is struggling this and they want to adopt him, but they cannot because each family is only allowed two children one girl and one boy. Jonas also has a younger seven year old sister named Lily who at the end of the second chapter, asks for a 'comfort object' a stuffed elephant. Jonas's was a bear, they are all community issued and they are referred to as imaginary.

What is a first-person narrative?
miskamm [114]
We write and speak in three different 'persons' . . .

Let's say I'm telling you something about Sam.

I'm the first person. You're the second person. Sam is the third person.

First Person:  I, we, us

Second Person: You, you-all

Third Person:  He, she, it, they, them

So there are three different ways to write or tell the same story.

Most stories that you read are written either in the First person or the Third person.

<u>"First-person narrative" is a story being told by the person it's about</u>.
"I'm Al. I got up in the morning. Then I got dressed, I went to the store, and bought milk."

"Third-person narrative is a story being told about somebody.
"Sam got up in the morning. Then he got dressed, he went to the store, and he got milk."

I saved "Second-person narrative" for last, because it's not used very often
and so it sounds weird.  But there ARE whole books written in Second-person:
"Your name is Johhny Schlaffgut.  You went to bed early last night because
yesterday was a tough day at the office and you were tired. But this morning
you felt OK. You woke up, you got dressed, and you went to the store for milk."
