Jonas is assigned the role of Receiver of Memory, which is a rare and highly respected position in the community.
Being assigned, like most people, gives you a job based on your personality and interests. Selection is decided from birth for a job like the Receiver and Giver of Memory, which require special characteristics like seeing color, giving/receiving memories, etc.
