In "The Giver," Lily expresses skepticism about the existence of live elephants because she has only ever known a world devoid of such animals. The community in which she lives has eliminated all memories of the past, including the presence of elephants, to maintain control and sameness. As a result, Lily's understanding of reality is limited to her immediate experiences, making it difficult for her to accept the idea of something as magnificent as an elephant ever existing.
If your talking about the giver than it's probably the same reason why people today don't believe in unicorns because nobodys seen one and they seem kind of ridiculous
Because in that utopian society they have made animals obsolete. No one but Jonas and the Giver have seen an elephant.
In The Giver, the children are named Jonas and Lily. Jonas is the protagonist of the story, while Lily is his younger sister.
In the book "The Giver," Lilly's nickname is "Lily."
Lily
Lily was skeptical because the story about elephants seemed too fantastical and out of the ordinary compared to the limited understanding and knowledge she had been given in her controlled community. The community lacked access to diverse experiences, so any mention of something unfamiliar would naturally generate doubt or skepticism. Jonas's story challenged Lily's beliefs and perceptions of the world.
