In Jonas' new work package, one piece of paper outlined the 8 rules he had to live by.  Rule#8 stated "You may lie."

2. Which rule from his list of 8 rules do you like best?  How would you use it?(3 Sentences minimum.)   
3. Which rule do you like the least.  Why?  (3 Sentences minimum.) 

 If you can't remember the EXACT wording of the rules, then grab a book to help you (page#68)

The Giver - Funky Fruit

"But suddenly Jonas had noticed, following the path of the apple through the air with his eyes, that the piece of fruit had-well, this was the part that he couldn't adequately understand-the apple had changed. Just for an instant. It had changed in mid-air...Then it was in his hand, and he looked at it carefully, but it was the same apple. Unchanged. The same size and shape: a perfect sphere."

1)What do you think happened? 

2)If the apple did change, then how, in your opinion did it change? What was different? Why? Explain your thoughts using any evidence from the book (page number) about what you think happened.
