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


Well I think that I want my future to be decided by others and myself. I think this because I think other people should chose somethings for me and some decisions that I should make. I think that it is sometimes better for someone else to choose for you because they know what your strengths are and believe that you can do it. I also think it is sometimes better for someone else to choose is because you won't have to stress as much. Its also good because maybe you don't know what your good at and the other person knows what your good at and will pick the right thing for you. Its also a good idea because you would want to know what type of strengths you have and other people could just say what your good at and you can choose what you want instead of them choosing for you they suggest and you would have from freedom to choose. One of the best reasons why it should be decided by others because you might choose wrongly and might regret it for the rest of your life. 


Though I also think that it is good sometimes to choose what you want to do in life not for someone else to choose for you. It would not be fun if someone chooses everything for you. Just like a person telling you what to do which I don't like very much. It can also be good to choose by yourself because if the person who is choosing for you picks the wrong thing you will get either get sad or angry which will not end very well. I also think that it is a good idea to choose by yourself because you would have more freedom and you would know what you want (though you may choose wrongly). I think that the Giver is a prime example why I should also not others choose because others might get disappointed with themselves for not getting the job they wanted and they will think that they weren't good enough to get the job that they wanted. 


"There are rarely disappointments, Jonas" This shows that there were some people that got disappointed and you could become like that and be sad for the rest of your future. That is why I think that my future can be decided by others and by myself. In conclusion there are both positive and negative things about choosing by yourself or by others choosing for you so thats why I picked both.
