The quote “Needless to say, he will be released,” on pg 2 means that someone will be killed. IN this case a pilot will be killed because he made a wrong turn and went into their community which was not allowed. The person that said it was the announcer, although I don’t think he was the one that made the decision. In other words if a person maybe sped on  the freeway and got caught they would be killed instead of getting a ticket like normal. The author is trying to make us see that to show us how strict their community is and how many rules they have. This also makes me think that they are rude and are not educated well. This quote is important because it shows how strict they are and how many rules they have to not know why that plane went by. Some real world connections I can relate it to is that when we speed and get caught our punishment could be ranging from a reminder to a ticket, to a jail visit depending if you were wanted. We could also get other punishments if we do any other things that break the law. This passage had I significant impact on my thinking because I now realize that our world could be a lot worse than it is now.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this is important because it shows that the speaker is not very nice. I think the author is trying to make us see, that the person who voices the speaker, and most likely the whole government of the community, are cruel and don’t care about the people they release. The man voicing the speaker even found it funny, that the pilot was getting released. It says in the book, “There was an ironic tone to that final message, as if the Speaker found it amusing; and Jonas had smiled a little, though he knew what a grim statement it had been." I think that it also shows how strict the community is.

# data[].attributes.body
This is important because it shows us that the world in the giver is way more strict than ours. We can see this because in our world the pilot might have been fired as the worst possible consequence. In their world the pilot gets released which sounds like being evicted permanently from the community. Which could possibly mean killing him since the community has very little contact with anything outside the community, and he wouldn't have had anywhere to go besides the community that he was evicted from.

Speaker and Audience:Who said this? Who is it said to and what is the purpose?

| The speaker said this to the people in the town to ensure that they wouldn’t be frightened of the strange accorence. Pilots didn’t usually fly over the community because it was in essence “forbidden”.
Context:What is happening in the story when it is being said?

| Jonas obediently set his bike down and went to his family’s dwelling, as did the rest of the people in the community. People are leaving everything where it is at and running to the closest building.
Significance:What does the quote mean? What does it reveal about the characters/conflict/theme?

| It says that though everyone is scared it will all be okay and there is nothing to worry about anymore.
Connections: What does this quote mean to you? How do you see this idea in the world?

| To me it means that they are happy and everything can go back to normal. I don’t understand the idea of releasing and it honestly scares me a little bit.

Putting it all together:
Introduce the quote:When (event from the book-context) happened, (character’s name-speaker) says… | When the event happened the whole community was scared so the Speaker had to make sure and update what was going on to ensure the safety of the community. So once everything has calmed down Speaker said “ Needless to say, he will be released.

Paraphase:“In other words…”
| So in other words he was just trying to ensure the safety of his community and keep everyone calm and safe.
Analyze:Explain significance, tone/mood, literary device:“The author is trying to make us see that…” | After the Speaker says this in a sort of ironic tone Janas thinks that it was strange for his to say “released” like that because many children go in trouble for saying lightly. The author is trying to hook us in and make us wonder: what exactly does it mean to be released?
Evaluate:Why is this quote important? What real world applications and connections can be drawn from the meaning of the quote?“This story/passage had a significant impact on my thinking about…” | It can be used at resurance. Someone can be released from prison. Being released in our world today seems to mean something good and bad at the same time because you usually do something bad and then you can get released. It makes me wonder what they mean by release in the story.

# data[].attributes.body
Because the pilot made a mistake the whole community was affected. after the pilot flew over the community everyone ran away for cover, becuase of that pilots one mistake the whole community had to stop there day. The speaker explained that because the pilot broke a big rule he would have consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
When Jonas has a flashback it shows that when people make mistakes in the community depending on how severe it effects how many chances they have . when people in this world mess up they may not have second chances. The author is trying to show that people in this community don't have fair trials. You are brought in and it means you are guilty. You mess up and get released. It is a hard system that is not reliable. and it gives people less freedom than we have today.

Jonas’s dad said this about the guy who flew a plane over the town.A pilot went off course and accidently went over the town and we will be released for it. It means the pilot will be banished in a way where he can't come back. It reveals the strict rules of their community and that there’s know room for mistakes. To me it means that it's pretty obvious that the pilot will be released and that the town is okay with it. I see it as a bad idea because you would be releasing everyone who makes a mistake and there is nothing that they can do about it. Most of the town knew that the pilot would be released when he flew over the town. Jonas may not have known this so that is why his dad said, “needless to say he will be released”.

In other words, you can’t mess up. If you do the slightest thing wrong or you make the smallest mistake you get punished. The author is trying to make us see that this community is very strict and is the “perfect” place.This passage had a significant impact in my thinking about how the different their community is than ours. They will release someone if they accidently fly over their town. In our community if someone did that, if they aren’t lucky they might get a little slap on the wrist but certainly they wouldn’t be released. The quote is important because it tells the reader how their community works and how the citizens feel about it.

# data[].attributes.body
In Jonas flashback the speaker says, “Needless to say, he will be released.” Which in other words  means the pilot is being banished from the ”utopia”. The author is trying to make us see that the community is very strict about the rules and if you break one it is easy to banish you from the “utopia”. This quote also had a significant impact on my thinking about how we get a fair trial and we have laws that if they are broken it is not instant jailment, and that we are not to strict on some rules as the community is.

# data[].attributes.body
When the pilot made the mistake of flying over the community the person on the loudspeaker said that it was a mistake. Then he said,”Needless to say, he will be released. In other words, when the pilot messed up and flew over the community, the loudspeaker guy was informing the community that it was a mistake and the pilot would be released.
The author is trying to make us see that this is a very strict community and that they don't allow much room for mistakes.
This quote is important because it shows how they run their community. It shows how strict they are about following even the smallest rules.

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker said this to the community the author put this in because no one knows what being released actually means. It also shows the strictness of the community.
What is happening is that the speaker is explaining the rule breaker and what happened.
The quote means that the guy made one mistake and now might possibly die.This reveals just how harsh and serious this community really is.
It means to me their perfectionist and everything is perfect.I see this idea as an interesting one.It could possibly eliminate most mistakes even minor ones.
´Needless to say he will be released´´.
In other words he will be banished not allowed to return And probably disgraced.
The significance the author is trying to show us is their not laid back they are strict and firm no messing around in their government.
This quote is important because right away they tell us who they are, a Utopian society.

| The Speaker that makes announcements in Jonas's community. It is said to a pilot-in-training who misread his navigational instructions and made a wrong turn. The pilot was trying to go back before they noticed. The Speaker said this to inform the people on what happens when you make a mistake. I think it's another way of brainwashing the people to think any mistakes are intolerable.

| Jonas had been riding his bike when he saw the pilot fly past. It was a flashback of one year ago. Then the speaker told everyone to go inside and just leave their bikes where they were. Shortly after, the Speaker made that announcement.

| The quote shows how tough their society is. Most mistakes mean severe punishment. It reveals how cold and not understanding people are in their community. Especially when Jonas thinks how there was an ironic tone to the way the Speaker said it. Apparently the Speaker thought it was amusing even though they knew that person's life was ruined.

| I don't like how unforgiving the community is. Mistakes happen and you shouldn't have such severe punishments for stuff like that. The pilot knew he messed up and probably would've learned his lesson if he hadn't been released. That's like putting someone in prison for messing up on their first day of their new job.

Putting it all together:

| When Jonas was riding his bike a pilot flew over his community. The pilot had misread his navigational directions. Then the Speaker said, ¨Needless to say, he will be released.¨When

| In other words that means the pilot will be banished from the community for his mistake.

| The author is trying to show us how harsh the community is and how strict they are.

| This quote is important because it shows us how the community really is. And this is supposedly an utopian world. So I think it means that a world can never be absolutely perfect. There will always be trade-offs and rules or ideas that not everybody agree on.

The quote “needless to say, he will be released.” Is when a pilot flew over the town, and because of this mistake he will be banished some way from the town. Some places are like this,but not entirely. For example the place could be really strict and could put lots of stress on the people. This quote can be important because it shows the strictness in the community and how hard it can really be when you even do something wrong on accident.

When a pilot flies over the community and causes the community into an uprising of fear, the community speaker says,"needless to say, he will be released."This seems to reassure the community, but no one knows what it really means to be released.The author is trying to show us that all things that are imperfect are permanently expelled or killed to keep the community perfect. The community can not risk impurities so the punishments are harsh. The community may seem perfect, but it requires great sacrifice and suffering to get there.

When a rogue pilot-in-training accidentally flies over the community, causing mass terror and confusion, The person who is the community speaker says, “ Needless to say, he will be released.”In other words, just because he made one mistake and the rest of the community couldn’t handle a tiny problem like a plane flying over their community, he is going to get expelled from the community. I think that the Author is trying to make us see that the community may seem safe and harmonic, but when you break a rule, they are brutal and ruthless. Whenever a threat is made to their “perfection,” they protect it in the worst way possible, the death sentence. This passage had significant impact on my thinking about our justice system. If a pilot in our world had accidentally flown over a place he wasn’t supposed to, he would at most have been taken in for questioning. The death sentence is given only in very extreme circumstances in our world, and it makes me think of our justice system as a lot more fair now that I’ve heard what Jonas’s is like.

Sometimes, it’s okay to lie. (2 or more sentences)

I agree, because sometimes it might be better for that individual you are lying to or it might be a personal subject and it isn’t really that person’s business.

It is just our nature.

I agree, because people need to be social in order to share their discoveries and ideas. I feel that if you are all by yourself it can be lonely and feel as though no one has your back.

I agree and disagree with this one. I think it is ok to tell a white lie every once in a while but not all the time. Lying isn’t  the best thing to do but if it’s a lie to help someone or protect them then it could be fine.

I disagree with that because if you never face difficult challenges in life then how are you to learn. It would be hard to learn from mistakes or challenges in life and you won’t become stronger.

1. Sometimes, it's ok to lie
I agree with this. The reason I agree with this is because if you lie sometimes, and if it’s in the right scenario, it can protect someone or prevent them from getting hurt feelings. Someone may not be ready to learn something yet, or you want to keep something private, in which case you’d need to lie.
2. It would be better to never have to experience difficult challenges in life.
I disagree with this strongly. Difficult challenges in life are what shape us and make us become who we are. Without difficult challenges in life, people would not learn how to be strong, tough, and persevere. Difficult challenges are important because they help people learn how to persevere and shape this world to what it is today. 
3. It is better to be a part of a group than to be alone.

I agree with this statement because working together means more accomplishments can be made. Also, for people, it is more fun to work together and it is great to have people support each other in times of need. More heads are better than one. 
4.I would rather have the right choice made for me than to have the freedom to make my own wrong choices.
I disagree with this because it is important to make your own choices and have freedom. Even if your choices are wrong, they show who you are and could eventually help you make the right choice. Making your own wrong choices can even be helpful because you can learn from your mistakes.

Yes, because sometimes lying will cause less pain than the truth, such as telling your kid theyre adopted. You may want to wait till’ they’re older, so they understand.

I agree because sometimes people don’t need to know everything about you even if they want to. Another reason is that sometimes the truth hurts people’s feelings.

3. It is better to be a part of a group than to be alone.
I agree because you are stronger together. You can think of more ideas and get more things done. Humans are also very social people so we would get depressed and lonely without other humans to keep us company. It may be alright for some animals, but not us.

4)I disagree.  We have the choice of agency it is how we develop character and who we will choose to be. When you make your own choices even if their wrong you will learn from them.

I think it would be better to make your own choices. Even if you make the wrong choices you still are making choices and are free as opposed to doing everything right but not being able to choose what you do.

1. Sometimes, it’s okay to lie.
I agree because sometimes people don’t need to know everything about you even if they want to. Another reason is that sometimes the truth hurts people’s feelings.
2. It would be better to never have to experience difficult challenges in life. 
I disagree because difficult challenges shape the person you are and help you grow as a person. If you don’t experience difficulties, you can’t grow into a better and more resilient person.
3. It is better to be a part of a group than to be alone.
I agree because you are stronger together. You can think of more ideas and get more things done. Humans are also very social people so we would get depressed and lonely without other humans to keep us company. It may be alright for some animals, but not us.
4. I would rather have the right choice made for me than to have the freedom to make my own wrong choices.
I disagree because wrong is a matter of opinion, and what one person may think is right I may think is wrong. I want the power to choose my own right and wrong. Even if I did make the wrong decision, however, it would be an opportunity for me to learn and grow.

4)I disagree.  We have the choice of agency it is how we develop character and who we will choose to be. When you make your own choices even if their wrong you will learn from them.

Difficult challenges are important because they help people learn how to persevere and shape this world to what it is today.
