Chapter 3 of the Giver
Chapter 3 starts out with Jonas and his family looking at a newborn child named Gabriel. His father had been worried about Gabriel for a while because it hasn't been sleeping well and if it doesn't start sleeping well by a certain age it is released. Jonas's sister Lily notices that Gabriel has very light eyes just like Jonas. Most people in the village have dark eyes but a few people have light eyes like them.When his sister mentioned she wanted to be a Nurturer Jonas thought of a memory of when him and his friend Asher were playing catch with an apple. While they were playing catch the apple had changed to Jonas. Not in size or shape but in a way Jonas couldn't understand. When he held it the apple was back to normal. The same color as his tunic. When he asked Asher he said it jumps out of his hands when he dropped it again. This meant he didn't see what Jonas saw. So he laughed uneasily. When he took it back to his house he studied it. There was nothing strange about it. After an announcement had come on saying Know one is allowed to take food from the place he had taken it from he saw his parents look at him. When he snapped out of his daydream about his memory. he tried to forget it looking at Gabriel he realized Gabriel was different from everyone else. Like Jonas.

I didn't get that part when the apple "changed". It threw me off, making me lose my interest. I had to wait a couple chapters to finally get what they meant.

When i read and heard that the apple changed colors, i was pretty confused at first. But after reading it a several times i got it. However, I still didnt get how he saw the color before he got the memory of color. Maybe it was because he got the memory color red first.

one reason why they were trowing the apple is because Asher has problems with his vision.So the apple helps him a little
