Explanation:
In Lois Lowry’s novel the Stirrings refer to the adolescent physical and emotional experiences that the citizens of the community must suppress and control to maintain sameness and order. The Stirrings are referred to as a type of hormone-induced sexual desires and fantasies that arise during puberty, including sexual awareness, attraction, and dreams related to sexuality.Throughout the novel, Jonas, the protagonist, experiences the Stirrings. Initially, he is unaware of what they are and is troubled by the unfamiliar and intense feelings they bring. The community’s governing body, known as the Elders, have carefully designed the society to eradicate any type of discomfort or emotional disturbance, which includes eliminating sexual desires.
