Answer:
The quote is about how when we are young, we are told to savour our youth because it's fleeting. When you're young though, it can feel like forever and it's harder to see how fleeting youth truly is. I believe this was included at the start of the novel because the book later follows Connor, who is only a boy.
In what book/ Story (resaurse) is this from?

Answer:
The irony about Jen's step-dad working for the Population police is that he broke the rule of the Population Police of having two children, by having a third child, and yet working for the organization.
Explanation:
'Among the Hidden' is a novel written by Margaret Peterson Haddix. The novel is about a society, where the Population Police has prohibited families for having more than two children.
Jen, just like Luke, is a third child in her family. Jen's mother had two sons before Jen, but she decided to have a girl on purpose, so they bribed the doctor and had Jen as a third child. The irony about Jen's step-dad working for the Population Police is that he broke the rule of having two children by having a third child, yet he is working for the Population Police. He is working for the organization, whose rule he has broken, so this is the irony.
