In the Ceremony of Twelves, Jonas was assigned the Receiver of Memories. According to the Chief of Elders, Jonas has been selected for a job that has great honor in the community. We are told that he will endure horrible pain. The previous chapters hid this information really well. Jonas being skipped over and being specially selected rather than assigned for this job was a complete surprise and a plot turner. There was one clue that stuck out to me. When Jonas was throwing the apple to Asher, he noticed something change. Lois Lowry didn't go into too much detail about what Jonas saw and it didn't seem to affect the plot a lot. I predict that Jonas will struggle a little bit in being the Receiver but he will find a way to pull through. I think that Jonas will experience new things and it seems already that his job is different in unique ways.
