Jennie F Journal 2 In Jonas’s world choice is eliminated. This is because there are so many dangers in having choice. One of them is that you can make a bad choice and you may not be able to change it. For example, if you decide to kill someone and after you regret it; there is nothing you can do about it because the person is already dead. Another danger in having choice is if you choose one type of person over another. Say you decide that you like black people more than you like white people; this could result in a war between whites and blacks. Jonas’s world eliminates choice because they don’t want something dangerous to happen because of a few wrong choices. Although this keeps their world from many dangerous things, this also keeps their world from many great things. Life without choice would be very boring. In Jonas’s world you are not allowed to choose who you marry or your child’s name. It would be very hard to spend your life with your husband or wife if you weren’t the one that chose to be with that person. This is because you don’t truly love them; it was a choice that someone else made for you. If choice was eliminated from my life I think that I would end up hating my life because I wouldn’t be able to have an opinion about the way I live.
