Explanation:
Ah I see, you're referring to the novel "The Giver" by Lois Lowry.
In Chapter 4 of The Giver, it is revealed that children in the community are given roles and assignments for their future careers when they turn eight years old.
Specifically:
The main character, Jonas, is told that he has been selected to become the next Receiver of Memory when he turns 12. This is a very rare and honored position in their society.
Other Eights in Jonas' group, like his friend Asher, are given assignments like Assistant Rec-Director at the bathing pool or Street Crew worker.
The Ceremony of Eight is the first major life ceremony in their community where children leave their childhoods behind and enter training for their assigned roles.
So in Chapter 4, the focus is on the Eights, the group of 8-year-old children, receiving their career assignments which will determine the course of their future lives in this tightly regulated society. It marks an important transition and rite of passage for the children. Also experiences his first "stirrings," which are sexual feelings that are starting to develop in him as he reaches the age of eleven. The concept of "stirrings" is considered to be inappropriate and a sign that he is not adhering to the rules of the society in which he lives. Jonas is given a pill to suppress these feelings and is told that he will continue to take these pills for the rest of his life in order to prevent any further "stirrings." This chapter introduces the repressive and controlled nature of the society in which Jonas lives, where even natural human emotions and experiences are suppressed and controlled.
