saw this on cable a couple of nights ago. liked the story and thought of googling it. it was indeed based on a book. you know, the young adult, dystopian world kind.🐼
“They had never talked about the boy’s accomplishments because such a conversation would have been awkward. There was never any comfortable way to mention or discuss one’s successes without breaking the rule against bragging, even if one didn’t mean to. It was a minor rule, rather like rudeness, punishable only by gentle chastisement. But still. Better to steer clear of an occasion governed by a rule which would be so easy to break.”
