Ask any question or just lie

If I were Jonas, I would ask any question because you can get anything you didn't know yet and it's also the right thing because you're being honest unlike to lie. It's also right because you can figure out the unknown and if you can't ask any question, you won't get answers so that's why it's better to ask any question instead of to lie.

Jonas' Journal Entry

Dear Journal,
It was confusing of how I got to be the next Receiver of Memory and I shall got it. It started at the Auditorium and it happened at the Ceremony of Twelve when we, the Elevens took our seat in our number order (Our number is our birth number). The Chief Elder called out our names by number except she skipped mine. I really felt humiliated that all of my friends, including Asher and Fiona had their own Assignments except for me. Then the audience was confused that the Chief Elder skipped my number, from 18 (Fiona's number) to 20 (Pierre's number) so the she called me out and she announced that I was the next Receiver of Memory.

Summary of the Giver

An undentified jet flies over frightened Jonas. At school, Asher is late, distracted by salmon. At dinner, family shares feelings.
