Which quote supports this question: How does grouping people by their age affect the way the citizens view themselves?

• “Those who were released--even as newchildren--were sent Elsewhere and never returned to the community.” (54)

• “The little girl nodded and looked down at herself, at the jacket with its row of large buttons that designated her as a Seven. The front-buttoned jacket was the first sign of independence, the first very visible symbol of growing up. The bicycle, at Nine, would be the powerful emblem of moving gradually out into the community, away from the protective family unit.” (52)

• “Jonas shrugged. It didn’t worry him. How could someone not fit in? The community was so meticulously ordered, the choices so carefully made.” (61)

• “He was certain that his Assignment, whatever it was to be, and Asher’s too, would be the right one for them.” (62)
