The third chapter in The Giver is about Jonas's father bringing home the baby, that he was talking about in chapter three. When the baby arrives, the family looks at it and comment on how cute it is, especially Lily. That's when Lily said that she wanted to be a Birthmother. When Jonas's mom heard that she was outraged. She told Lily that Birthmothers were not considered a respected job. Another thing Jona's mom said was that after three births the Birthmothers worked as hard laborers for the rest of their lives. That's when the Jonas's father explained to Lily that if she liked children so much, then to volunteer at the Nurturing Center. Also during this chapter they talked about how announcements were made to the whole community but was only meant for one person indirectly. Like when Jonas accidentally took home an apple. Later that evening an announcement was made for people not to take snacks home, and Jonas and his parents knew it was for him.
