    Jonas began to stop taking the injection each morning after a while, because he liked the way the Stirrings made him feel warm inside. Jonas also found a way to trick the system into skipping the daily injection by putting a drop of his blood on an apple and then putting the apple on the injector. This would make the system inject the serum to stop the Stirrings in the apple instead of Jonas. He convinced Fiona to do this too because he wanted her to feel the same way he felt towards her. This shows that Fiona trusts Jonas because she was breaking a major rule of the community. In the book, Jonas hardly ever talks to Fiona about the Stirrings and does not trick the system. He just decides to stop taking the pills. Overall, this makes the whole movie more dramatic and intense.

Lowry shows the importance of deep emotions and family through Jonas. Jonas becomes the new receiver of memory and learns about the past. He also learned about the way it was when people knew what love was. Jonas’ father releases newborn children because they don’t weight the correct amount of weight or they don’t sleep well through the night. Release is a nice way of saying kill; the people of the community don’t know what kill means. They don’t have the freedom to expand their vocabulary. Lois Lowry makes it clear that safety has a negative side and you need that you need freedom to have a high functioning community.

    However, the wish of having multiple children, especially boys, was challenged by the strict One Child policy in 1979. The One Child policy, also known as Family Planning policy, was implemented across the country as one of fundamental national policies under the administration of Population and Family Planning Commission. Based on the purpose of lowering fertility rates to ease social pressure and improve living standard, a married couple is only allowed to have one child with some exceptions made for some ethnic minorities and rural families. The majority of citizens are classified by ethnics and occupations to fit the specific regulations of compensations and punishments to prevent them from having a second child (Li, J., & Cooney, R, S. 1993).

  • A License Should Be Required To Be A Parent

    1059 Words  | 3 Pages

    From everyday experiences to recent news stories, I have come across many issues that large families face in America. Poverty and child abuse are top issues in the United States. For this reason, I believe the government should start regulating the number of children people can have based on financial stability, place of residence, criminal history, and other qualifications. The ideal American family image is one that provides parents that gracefully accommodate and nurture their children with open arms, financial cohesion, warm meals, and a roof over their heads. Although one might think these characteristics are a given, they are not as common as the general population widely assumes. There are many individuals deemed “unfit parents” who, despite complaints and adequate resources, continue to reproduce, putting children’s lives at stake. This brings up the question at hand: should up and coming parents be required to obtain a license to start a family?
