Release In The Giver

In order to maintain an ideal state in a utopia, some crucial sacrifices must be made. In the book The Giver, everyone and everything must serve their purpose, those who do not function in the community are Released. In The Giver, Release is similar to what we know as euthanasia. Release can be voluntary or involuntary. But, how does Release benefit the community? What are some positive and negative results on the Community by Release?

How does Release make the society in The Giver a perfect place? And how does it benefit their world? In The Giver, Release helps eliminate those who cannot serve the Community or those who the Community cannot profit from. For example, in this Community once the elderly reach a certain age they are Released

She applied for Release after she became the Receiver-in-training and experienced all the memories the Receiver had been holding for the Community.

The people were overwhelmed and terrified by the new experience because there was not enough of those who carried the wisdom to aid them. The mistake the Giver had made to let Rosemary be Released is another a example of how Release is a disadvanage to the Community. Voluntary Release is the least of the Communities issues, this community Releases those who do not intend to be killed. For example when the old reach a certain age the community will Release them, however these epople do not know what are going to happen to them, they do not know they are going to die. The creators made the society to work in a unfair way, those who have a slightest diffrence, flaw, or uncapability to do something are Released. If Release did not exist in this community then people would be abe to live even if they are different that shows that Release is a method the community uses to get rid of the people who
