1. Would you want your future to be decided by others ? Why or Why not?

In my opinion, I don't want my future do be decided by others. There are a lot of reasons why I don't want my future to be decided by others. All people have thier own talent, dream and right to decide thier own future and I think that is really important to single person. And here are my evidences.

First, I think that every person has thier own talent. And if they apply thier talent well, they even can be the number one in the world. But, in this book, the Chief Elder just randomly choose one job and when there is a ceremony of Twelve, where the children who are at age of 12 get a job. This, is really a miserable thing because if someone find what his own talent, they can be really good at it. But when the job is just determind by someone esle, that someone might be ruining person's life just by randomly giving a person a job.

Also, I believe that everyone has thier own dream. Even though they are not good at it, if they try and work hard enough to be good at it, then they can be good at it. And because the Chief Elder just chooses any job for a person, and it is also ruining the person's life. A dream is really a strong thing because it sometimes makes you to try harder and push you harder. And you will probably be able to achieve what you your dream was.

Last, everybody has a right to choose thier own job. Just because the community is different and because of the Elders, people's job can't be chosen by another person. They don't have a right to choose someone's job just randomly unless the rule is made in the community. And I think they should change the rules. (Even though it is not possible as it is already a written book)

I think these are the reasons why I don't want my future or my job to be chosen or determind by someone else. In a short form, I would say that all people have thier own talents, dreams and rights for thier own future and lives.
