A Perfect Community?

If you are reading closely, you have probably noticed a distinct shift in the mood of the novel. Before the community seemed calm and nice, if a bit odd. Now that strangeness is taking on a definitively eerie feeling. The Receiver of Memory's secretary seems friendly, but a bit too friendly--and those doors that click open seem to be hiding more than the Receiver's office. And that last rule that Jonas was given ... how can he trust anyone anymore?

What is the strangest new detail we have learned about Jonas's community?

So far in the book there were some strange things. people in the community never heard or know about animals. they do not know what snow is and there are no hills. that is weird because almost everywhere in NYC there are hills. i think things are going to get stranger in the book.Michael Ruiz 8C
