Read the passage from The Pillow Book.

"I cannot bear men who believe that women serving in the Palace are bound to be frivolous and wicked. Yet I suppose their prejudice is understandable. After all, women at Court do not spend their time hiding modestly behind fans and screens, but walk about, looking openly at people they chance to meet. Yes, they see everyone face to face, not only ladies-in-waiting like themselves, but even Their Imperial Majesties (whose . . . names I hardly dare mention), High Court Nobles, senior courtiers, and other gentlemen of high rank. In the presence of such exalted personages, the women in the Palace are all equally brazen, whether they be the maids of ladies-in-waiting, or the relations of Court ladies who have come to visit them, or housekeepers, or latrine-cleaners, or women who are of no more value than a roof-tile or a pebble. Small wonder that the young men regard them as immodest! Yet are the gentlemen themselves any less so? They are not exactly bashful when it comes to looking at the great people in the Palace. No, everyone at Court is much the same in this respect.”

What evidence best supports the conclusion that living in the court gave women greater freedom?

“Women serving in the Palace are bound to be . . . wicked.”
“After all, women at Court do not spend their time hiding modestly behind fans and screens.”
“Small wonder that the young men regard them as immodest!”
“They are not exactly bashful when it comes to looking at the great people in the Palace.”

Jonas did the right thing in fleeing the Community? How do you think Jonas would have reacted
to learning about the true nature of release if Gabriel had not been involved? (The Giver)

Answers

I do think that him leaving the community was a good idea because if he stayed gave would be released. I think that jonas may have reacted similarly if him finding out about what releasing really meant did not involve gabe because it would change his whole perspective and probably anger him still the same. although I do feel like gabe being involved hit a nerve.

I hope this was helpful:)

I think Jonas did the right thing fleeing the community. Throughout the novel he makes certain choices that distinguish himself as an individual in contrast to the community which acts the same. By leaving, he allows for the people in the community to have access to the memories while the Giver is able to help the people cope. Through his decision to leave, he also saves Gabe.
