There are two societies to live in the community and elsewhere. Elsewhere has both good and bad things. Good things like love and bad things like war. The community is in the middle. No love but also no war. Elsewhere is a better place to live because good things are what people live for. If there is no good then what's the point of life? People live for the moments that make their heart thump, their blood pump, that’s what people live for.
Two reasons why no one should live in the community are no one has feelings in the community and they also don’t really have the concept of a family. On page 125 the book says “Love, it was a word and concept new to him”. This quote shows that feelings like love are not present in the community. Feelings …show more content…
Release is when someone is killed. On page 148 the book says “And you little guy, you're only 5 pounds ten ounces. A shrimp”. At this part, Jonas’s dad is about to release a child who was 2 ounces less than his twin and was killed. This is something really sad to think about. It is basically murder and it happens all the time to both old and babies. The innocent child did not deserve to be killed just because he was 2 ounces less than his brother. This is the same case for the many others who got released. It would inhumane to live in the community. Living in the community would be a great sin. Anyone who has any type empathy would want to live elsewhere. Elsewhere would be better because this would never happen without the person’s permission. Furthermore, there is no freedom in the community people get assigned who their partner is. It doesn’t matter if they like them or not they get assigned the person who will be their “husband”/”wife”. Also, if someone lives in the community they get assigned what they will do for a living. As seen on page 19 “he hadn’t the slightest idea what Assignment the Elders would be selecting for his future, or how he might feel about it when the day came.” This quote shows that people in the community are worried about what they get assigned and if they will like it or not. They have no freedom to choose what they want. They can’t control what they will be in their future. Many people will not like the job and get stuck not doing what they want to do. Elsewhere would be better because people can control their future and get to do whatever they can do. They can work hard and get a good job or not and get a bad job. This way a person controls his/her future. Release and not having freedom are two things that are bad in the community and prove that living elsewhere is a better
