In chapter 2 Jonas and his parents are talking about the ceremonys of different ages and the changing which they implicate.
His parents want to anlighten Jonas about the changing, which approaches him.
They say that he will have a big changing in the contact with his friends because he won't see them anymore as often as he does now but as well they tell him that he'll find new ones, who will have the same interest like he has.
His father tells him on the one hand about his ceremony of twelve and that he has really enjoyed it and on the other hand that some people made their basical experiences in his age.
For me the most important conclusion in this chapter is at page 19 line 5/6 in which Jonas' father sais: ''... as children we must experience all of those things.''.
I think this chapter deals with growing up in generell and in my opinion this conclusion expresses the most important points of growing up.
It's also clear from what Jonas' parents say that they have no input into the course his life will take after the ceremony. They will be just as surprised as everyone else when Jonas' number isn't call out.
