I would say it's more of a learning tool. Someone tells you about it, basically telling you not to do it again.
Answer:
1) <em><u>Earliest to Latest</u></em><em>:</em> [BCE comes before CE. In BCE, the bigger the number, the older the year is. The smaller the number is in BCE, the closer it is to CE. In CE, the smaller the number, the older the year is.]
-Ancient Egyptians (3100 - 1070 BCE)
-Ancient Greeks (800 - 338 BCE)
-Romans in Europe (509 BCE - 476 CE)
-Mayans in Central America (250 - 900 CE)
-Incas in Puru (1200 - 1532 CE)
-Aztecs in Mexico (1350 - 1521 CE)
2) Well I live in the U.S., so yes I can actually spot at least a few cultures near my country, the Mayans and Aztecs to be specific.
3) I don't really know what story this question is referring to, because I don't know what history book you have. If I only knew I'd be more than happy to help you, I am sincerely sorry.
Answer:
When experiencing the release as Jonas, the emotions and thoughts he expresses are that of someone who's betrayed. As a reader, while disgusted, we would not feel double-crossed as we have just entered this world and have placed no trust into the community. However, Jonas has lived within the community his entire life, and believed up until that very point that people who were "released" were simply sent to a better place. Watching an actual release removed the rose-colored glasses he had been wearing when viewing his government. Experiencing a release from Jonas' point of view puts weight on the reality of the death, instead of it simply being a third person, non-influential, act executed on a whole different group of people.
Explanation:
I'm answering this under the assumption that the release spoken about in the question is the "Release," or where the government would kill off the lightest of twins, the elderly, or crime-doers.
