In chapter 3 Jonas's family unit has a guest. One day Jonas's father come home with a basket with the newborn Gabriel that was mentioned in chapter 1. There was one thing weird about this newchild and it was his eyes. Practically everyone in the community has dark eyes. Jonas is one of the many few that has pale eyes, and this newchild had pale eyes as well as Jonas. Jonas's father brings home the baby and Jonas's family unit is supposed to take care of Gabriel.
Later in this chapter Jonas experiences a change. In the middle of the chapter he has sort of a flash back and thinks to himself a time that he had in a recreation period one day with his friend Asher
Jonas had causally picked up an apple from the basket where the snacks were kept, and had thrown it to his friend. Asher had thrown it back, and they had begun a simple game of catch.
While Jonas and Asher were having a catch with the apple, Jonas noticed that when the apple went into mid-air, one time, it had sort of changed. When he caught it, it was the same apple, unchanged. He asked Asher if he saw it change but he said no. It had changed in mid-air for an instant and then went back to normal. He then took the apple home, against the recreation area rules and tried to study it and see if it would happen again. However it did not change and he got caught with it out of the area.
