The bicycle, at Nine, would be the powerful emblem of moving gradually out into the community, away from the protective family unit. The Ceremony takes place in the month of December and follows the Ceremony of Elevens. The Elevens are then called up to receive their Assignments in a predesignated order. At age one, children are assigned a name and family. At age four, they receive jackets that button in the back to teach them interdependence.
At age seven, they receive front-buttoning jackets. Finally, in year twelve, children are given their assignment in the community. Children start volunteer hours at year eight and are given a career path when they reach year twelve, ending their time as a volunteer. The volunteer hours are important because Elders observe children to determine their skills and interests.
The volunteer hours are actually very important, because they are essentially a test. Cue the steamy music. Jonas talks about two feelings: wanting , and feeling that he shouldn't. In other words His family thanks him for sharing. Jonas' Mother tells him that these feelings are called "Stirrings," that he has to report them every time they happen awkward!
It's like, anti-Viagra. Turns out, everyone takes these pills, every day, until they end up in the House of the Old. However, the pill works quickly, and the pleasures of the dream are gone.
On the first morning of the Ceremony, Jonas and his mother and Lily discuss some of the milestones that children achieve each year—at age seven they get a jacket that they can button themselves, at Eight they begin to volunteer, at nine they get bikes and girls no longer need to wear hair ribbons. In order to do this, each member of the family signed a statement promising not to get attached to Gabriel.
When he died, the community performed the Ceremony of Loss, chanting his name more and more softly until it seemed to fade away. Now, welcoming the new baby, they chant it louder and louder in the Murmur-of-Replacement Ceremony, which is performed only if a child is lost, not if it is released.
At lunch the Elevens discuss their upcoming Assignments, speculating on what they will do if they get an unsatisfactory Assignment. If a citizen feels that he or she does not fit in with the community, that citizen can apply for Elsewhere and disappear, but Jonas cannot imagine a person feeling that he or she did not fit in, because the community is so well ordered.
The Committee of Elders weighs each decision carefully, painstakingly matching adults who applied for spouses to the appropriate spouse and placing newchildren with the appropriate families. Jonas trusts the Committee to give him an appropriate Assignment.
His dream troubles him because it is unusual, but he is so used to being entirely honest with his family that he tells them all the details of the dream right away, without thinking twice.
