My room is white. There is only one window in my room, and the curtains make my room dark. My bed is in the center of my room, across from my dresser that is next to my closet; my closet is in the wall that’s next to the wall my window is in. Cube.
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.
It’s A lot But It Tells A lot Of The Chapter
Answer:
I assume you are referring to the article written by Jessica McBirney. According to this text, the scandal was both triggered and magnified by the media representations of the two skaters.
Explanation:
While both Harding and Kerrigan were excellent skaters, <u>the general public and corporate sponsors preferred Kerrigan who was "the media darling of American figure skating"</u>. No wonder, then, that Harding would appear to be the prime suspect right after the incident - especially when the attacker confessed to having been hired by Harding's ex-husband.
Even though the prosecution failed to prove Harding's direct involvement in the incident, the media would keep on inflating the scandal and, in a way, conducting their own trial. They went on pestering Harding and building <u>their own version of the story, completing "the caricatures they had begun building for each woman: Tonya Harding, the scrappy, disadvantaged athlete who fought for everything she thought she deserved; and Nancy Kerrigan, the elegant, natural performer who had now, in the media’s eyes, become a victim of ruthless ambition"</u>.
The stories went on even as both skaters made it to the Olympics, where Kerrigan would significantly outperform Harding. Eventually, Harding would "plead guilty to conspiring to hinder a prosecution", which led to her stripping of her sport titles and retreating from skating altogether. Even so, she keeps on denying her involvement to the present day.
The media wouldn't leave Harding alone even after she retired. <u>They went on exploiting the story, turning it into "a universal story about competition, ambition, victimhood, and justice". From there, the story would evolve into a "pop culture trope" exploited in sitcoms and movies, across all media outlets.</u>
