Lily thought that Jonas was joking, she only views it as a comfort object, but Jonas knows that animals do exists thanks to the memory The Giver gave to Jonas
Yes, that is true. In the book "The Giver," the characters Jonas and Lily use the word "animal" but do not fully understand its meaning because animals do not exist in their highly controlled community where much knowledge and emotion is suppressed.
In "The Giver" an animal is a comfort object.
it only describes what he looks like it never shows any pictures of him or anything like that
Well Jonas dreams about bathing Fiona in the House of the Old, but he lied to his parents and said he slept soundly.
they were taught the word but they never really saw a alive one
Animals represent something unknown or something that is very profound.
In The Giver, the children are named Jonas and Lily. Jonas is the protagonist of the story, while Lily is his younger sister.
Lily
Jonas tells Lily about an elephant, describing its size, trunk, and how it is different from other animals. He uses the elephant as an example to explain differences and diversity to Lily in the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry.
Lily
The main characters in "The Giver" by Lois Lowry are Jonas, the Receiver of Memory; The Giver, the mentor training Jonas; and Fiona and Asher, Jonas' friends in the community.
In "The Giver," Lily was waiting for her comfort object, a stuffed elephant named Imaginary, to be placed in the sharing basket by her mother. This object was meant to help her feel safe and secure at bedtime.
Jonas had a bear as a comfort object in "The Giver." It was a symbol of his childhood innocence and connection to his past before entering the world of the Community.
Jonas' sister is named Lily and she was assigned to Jonas' family.
The main character in "The Giver" by Lois Lowry is a boy named Jonas. He is chosen to be the Receiver of Memories in his community and learns about the true history of the society and the role of the Giver.
Because in that utopian society they have made animals obsolete. No one but Jonas and the Giver have seen an elephant.
I think she just likes taking care of the Newchildren. She doesn't have any special talent, like Jonas, though.
