One of the major differences is that people do not choose their spouses or have children. Family units are created by committee, and children are created genetically (it’s not entirely clear how) and born to special birthmothers. They are raised in Nurturing Centers for a year and then appointed to family units created with one male and one female adult and one male and one female child. Once the children are grown the unit disbands. The idea is to control the population. There is also no love. To prevent unwanted babies (and unwanted feelings), all adults take pills for Stirrings. This way they control both emotions and the population.
Another difference is that people do not choose their own jobs. At the age of twelve, children are assigned an occupation during a special ceremony called the Ceremony of Twelve. From twelve on, the children train for their job and slowly train less and work more until they become fully responsible adults.
Finally, Jonas’s world is different from ours because differences are not tolerated. They have a way of dealing with differences called release. Later, Jonas learns that release actually means death by lethal injection. A person who breaks three laws—or one major one—is released. A baby who does not grow fast enough, or a person who is too old to be valuable, is also released. Differences are simply not allowed.
The correct answer is, "Mark Antony repeats that line to discredit Brutus by giving examples that prove that Caesar was not ambitious."
Anthony uses irony to point out that Caesar was not ambitious, despite Brutus saying he was. To better explain the excerpt, I summarized it in three parts:
Anthony states, "Brutus says Caesar was ambitious."
Anthony states that Brutus is an honorable man.
Anthony states reasons why Caesar was not ambitious, which contradicts the two previous statements.
many ways, Brinker represents the positive sense of responsibility that comes with adulthood. When he convinces Gene to enlist in the army, Gene moves toward accepting obligations and leaving the carefree realm of childhood behind. Yet Brinker also embodies the cynicism and jadedness of adolescence.
