8 Rules

In Jonas' new work package, one piece of paper outlined the 8 rules he had to live by.  Rule#8 stated "You may lie."

1. Why does Jonas find the instruction about lying so disturbing?  3 Sentences minimum.  (What would you feel/think if you were given this "permission"?)
2. Which rule do you like best?  How would you use it?  (3 sentences minimum). If you can't remember the EXACT wording of the rules, then grab a book to help you (page#68)

Remember: Draft your answers in Google Docs. Edit them for clarity and details; PROOF READ them for COPS before copying them into the blog editor and posting them.

The Giver - Funky Fruit

"But suddenly Jonas had noticed, following the path of the apple through the air with his eyes, that the piece of fruit had-well, this was the part that he couldn't adequately understand-the apple had changed. Just for an instant. It had changed in mid-air...Then it was in his hand, and he looked at it carefully, but it was the same apple. Unchanged. The same size and shape: a perfect sphere."
