//**Part One - very clear answers... well done - 3.5**//

1.you should tell them because they should know so not to make mistakes. you should not tell them because sometimes not knowing keeps them from going down that path. I would have to say I would not tell them. I would not tell them because although they don't know they should not find out from a stranger cause that could send them into chaos.

2. you'd never know who your REAL parents are. Having to follow everything the same with no freedom. Not knowing what's the truth and what's not. They pick your your family, job, and wether you can live. They can never feel adrenaline.

3. Everyone has enough food to eat. Water to drink. Shelter for protection. They each get acceptance. And nobody must experience physical pain.

4. At my first thought I think they reached another community. But thinking harder I contimplate if he really did. When the book said "For the first time,he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing". I think that this is what everybody gets before they pass on, something happy they remember. Also I think no one was there he was just "hearing beyond".

5. The lessons, themes, and messages I can think of are that sometimes perfect isn't always what it seems. Ignorance is bliss.And that you can't put something huge on one person you should have it devided up or it may come back to haunt you.
