Good-bye dad

Dear Dad,
I have learned a lot as a the Receiver of Memories. I have learned about emotions, releasing and color. Emotions are feelings that we have and they need to be expressed. That's why we don't need to take stirrings. I know that you killed the other twin. That is what releasing is, right? You injected some sort of poison into that twin. Why did you? Why should that be the way to release people? I learned about color. Color also expresses us. My first color was when an apple changed color to red. So you see I have learned a lot in the community. I need to leave because for my freedom and because it is my choice. After I watched you kill that twin, my heart sank and I will never think of you in the same way as I did before I watched that video. Why do you still want a job that involves killing people? I would ask the elders if I could switch if I ever got that job. I must go because of you. You scared me and I don't want to go back. I can't believe you voted for Gabriel to be released. Now that I know what it is, I will not let you take him. Sorry dad but if this is what you are going to do I must leave. I need freedom and space and I need to be far away from you as possible. I know that you don't mean any harm, but I felt horrified that you could be so emotionless. Thank you. Send me a letter back telling me how everyone is doing, mom, Lily, you, Asher, Fiona and do a favor for me. Please tell The Giver thank you for everything that he has done for me, everything he taught me, everything he was willing to do for me.
