This was a well told story. Interesting read. When Jonas is at the aging ceremony he finds out he's not going into the workforce. Instead he has been selected to be the next memory receiver. Jonas has never heard of the position, but he knows it's special because of the way everyone starts to treat him. When he meets the giver he's not sure what to think.
