β 13y agoIn 'The Giver,' being 'released' is a euphemism for euthanasia or killing. It is used as a method of controlling the population and maintaining order by removing individuals who are deemed unfit or a burden to society. The true nature of 'release' is kept hidden from the citizens of the community.

People can be released without punishment in scenarios where the giver believes that forgiveness or rehabilitation is more beneficial than retribution. This can happen in cases where the offender shows genuine remorse, takes responsibility for their actions, and demonstrates a commitment to change. Additionally, factors such as the severity of the offense, the individual's background, and the potential for reintegration into society may also influence the decision to release without punishment.
In the book "The Giver," breaking the laws in the community can result in consequences such as public shame, loss of privileges, or even release from the community (which is later revealed to mean euthanasia). The severity of the punishment depends on the nature of the offense and its impact on the community.
