When Jonas came back from the Ceremony of Twelves he read the paper that the Elders gave him and one of the guidelines said he may lie.
In other words, Jonas can lie without getting punished like the others that do without permission.
The author is trying to make us see that there might be a time where Jonas needs to because Jonas can not speak of certain things where that can get him in trouble.
This story/passage had a significant impact on my thinking about how this can impact his training and his job as The Receiver of Memories. Besides the story lying is taken seriously and is taken as a bad thing because others use lying in an inappropriate way.

The note that Jonas was given said this. It had the purpose to inform.
Jonas is becoming the new receiver of memory.
The quote means he can lie and it reveals how lying is something that is usually not allowed in the community. It also shows the conflict about how Jonas now has to deal with this fact as the new receiver.
This quote means a tiny bit to me because in our society people lie all the time and it really shows the contrasts and how the book society and ours are different.

This was read by Jonas in a note when the higher ups gave Jonas the notification that he was going to be the receiver of memory.

In other words this was a letter to Jonas.
The tone was frightening and surprising. It was significant because he was getting permission to break a law in their society.
This quote is important because it shows how there is going to be change in the story and how Jonas will now be allowed to break a law for his special job, the receiver of memory. This will change relationships with his friends and family in the story because he will now have to lie about stuff when he has never lied before. This will have a significant impact to Jonas and the story because of these reasons.
