I choose this question.
1. Would you want your future to be decided by others ? Why or Why not?
I wouldn't want my future to be decided by others. If I were in Jonas's shoes then what if I had never been chosen the Receiver of Memory? Then I would never experience what snow was, sled, sunshine, hills etc. My life would be boring and it wouldn't be free. It wouldn't feel like freedom, just like getting capped. You wouldn't be free because you know you have to do this, maybe even when you don't want to. But if someone decided my future I would be safe, no worries of my own, etc. though my life would be the same old same old. It would be fun to have some risks, something to think about and use my brain. Taking risks is a way to learn and find new interests and be curious. Being controlled would be like an big piece of artwork with only black and white. Even with a speck of color, the chances are that it will get your attention. Just like my future I would want to know people, things, places etc. and also be known. Everyone is special in their own way. If I were to be controlled with everyone else it would be like seeing the people all in stick figures. The same hair, same clothes, same objects. Just like the children in The Giver each got the same objects as they turn a year older. When they're a Nine they each get bikes, when they're a Seven they get front buttoned jackets. Also what if you don't like the future they give you? What would you do then? So that is why I wouldn't want my future to be decided by others, I would want to get my own choices.
