we need to give more respect to how beautiful Claire's coming-of-age narrative is. 

(and we need to honor Jonas as the young adult heartthrob he is. like he saved a baby and then became a powerful leader and now is a good husband and dad? Lois Lowry really did us a favor and we have given her nothing in return.)

but Claire's coming-of-age narrative? stunning. beautiful. a great commentary on sacrifice and motherhood.
