I cant believe this is happening. How can he do such a cruel thing? How can my father, who probably doesn't even love me , kill an innocent little baby because it looks just like his or her brother?! I don't know who he is anymore. The only person I can trust is The Giver. He tells me the truth. He knows the in's and out of this place. This place has to change! It has to! Me and the Giver have thought of a plan. I will change the society I will.

     They have never experienced true pain, suffrage,loss,love,hurt! They have never had to feel the need for food. That's because they don't know the truth. I will leave the community tomorrow  But I will not go see the Giver as planned. I will take my Fathers bike, and Gabriel, who my father claims will be released. I will leave. I can't stand it here anymore I can't!

It seems like the day is purposely dragging on. I passed by the recreation center to talk to Asher for the last tme ever and I passed byt the school house. I saw a little girl getting a "smack" today. This is exactly what we have to change. Smacking kids because they slur or stutter a word? Then I went to the house of the old. I requested to see Fiona. They did not hesitate. They let me into a room where Fiona was in the middle of speaking for one of the old who were getting released. She saw me, and then it happened. Her hair, iit had changed again. But when I saw her again it was gone. I asked her how her day was going an dshe said it was great!. She told me she got to see a release happen and it was amazing. How the caretakees were so kind. So mellow. I was disgusted. I almost blew up on her. I wanted to scream " How could you say that!!!!!!!! Iwe kill babies if they ahve problems or ook the same as his/her sibling? We kill the old if they get to old to do things for theselves It's SICK!!!!!" I left angry,upset, but mostly hert broken. I knew that I will never ever see Asher,Fiona,The Giver, or Lilly EVER AGAIN".
