Analysis Of Never Let Me Go

It's hard to summarize what makes a person human. It can be agreed that everyone of us is human already, physically speaking that is, but it's more than physically being being a human that matters.
Never Let Me Go starts with Kathy, a seemingly normal women in her thirties. She tells us about her job as a nurse, carer, and companion for clones that have started their organ donations. She has a major sense of pride when it comes to her job and her skills as a carer. She is recognized for her success by her superiors at her work. Shes gets to choose who she gives her companionship. She usually picks clones from Hailsham because she also attended at the same school as a child.

Ruth was the “Queen Bee” of their group, a manipulative compulsive liar and Tommy a friendly boy, but could have a bad temper. Kathy goes on to explain that Hailsham was critically involved in creativity. Students would layout their creativity in a lot of forms, by writing poems or stories, crafts, or artistic drawings.

Shes only reflected once before, when she mourned at Tommy's grave in norfolk. She hopes she will eventually have everything she cares about returned to her, including Tommy.
Through the novel the author shows a lot of emotion and feelings between the characters, both positive and negative. The clones joy, accomplishment by Kathy's pride in her job. They felt anger and jealousy by Tommy's temper and Ruths sabatoge. They felt nostalgic when kathy found her cassette tape. They felt sorrow when Ruth and Tommy, and eventually Kathy, die. It's more of whats inside of us, not on the outside, that define us as humans.
