Chapter 10:
“All of those things were in this spacious room, though each was slightly different from those in his own dwelling. The fabrics on the upholstered chairs and sofa were slightly thicker and more luxurious; the table legs were not straight like those at home, but slender and curved, with a small carved decoration at the foot. The bed, in an alcove at the far end of the room, was draped with a splendid cloth embroidered over its entire surface with intricate designs.
“But the most conspicuous difference was the books. In his own dwelling, there were the necessary reference volumes that each household contained… And the Book of Rules, of course.
“The books in his own dwelling were the only books that Jonas had ever seen. He had never known that other books existed.

How could you describe a sled without describing a hill and snow; and how could you describe a hill and snow to someone who had never felt height or wind or that feathery, magical cold?

‘Definitely not safe,’ Jonas said with certainty. ‘What if they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong? Or what if,’ he went on, almost laughing at the absurdity, ‘they chose their own jobs?’ ‘Frightening, isn’t it?’ The Giver said.
