The Giver... ^^

Question that I chose:
1. Would you want your future to be decided by others ? Why or Why not?

Response to the question:
I would want to decide my own future, because my own future is like my whole life... Without choosing my own future is just like losing all the freedom. Like in the book The Giver, in Jonas world they could not chose their own jobs, no colors to pick, their world were really simple and peaceful, but without all of those their life are like really dull no fun, but in our world we do have decision which means we could decide not being control. If my future is decided by others then I don't think I would be happy because my life wouldn't be what I expected it to be. If my future was decided by someone then they person have to know me really well, other then my parents and my elder brother and myself I don't think anyone else would know me that well and could decide my future, others might not know me as long as I know myself because they don't know be before I know myself.

The other reason I chose to decide my own future because for example job. Job is the most important decision it is about what we are going to do when we grow older it is going to take us about half a day working the same thing in the same place, what if others gave a wrong decision there then I will staying there for half day ever day when I get older and I am sure I won't enjoy my work, but if I decide my own I would know what fits me the best and I will enjoy my work and be more happy then having others deciding my job which might not fit me the best. Like Jonas in the book Giver they were observed by the Elder before getting a job in the community in Jonas's world, like Jonas his job is not actually what he expected to be the special one but it fits him because the Elder had observed him careful and made sure that he is going to fit in the job being a Receiver but he might not wanted to be a Receiver, because he doesn't even know what being a Receiver is going to be like but he is false to be a Receiver he has no choice. Here we have our own decision which is really good, so I don't want it to change and have my future decided by other people. I also wish that Jonas is going to change his world in the book later on and let others have their own decision... Good luck Jonas!...
