Again we have evidence of a struggle to understand the world outside. Kathy tells us how they would tap each other on the elbow when leaving and when Ruth tried it to Tommy he struggled at first to understand. Again we see how the clones lack personal development and must rely on coping others. Pg 119 Kathy shows how Ruth finally caught on to this and began to change her behaviour. Here they lack a social and moral compass. Here we look at the idea that having being separated from society the clones could not develop as individuals and look to television shows for help and inspiration. She also looks at how they gestures and mannerism were similar to those of the characters on the shows they watch. Kathy remarks on the inconspicuous nature of the couples. Again we see that they were unprepared for life outside Hailsham. Pg 118 Kathy thinks that the picture of them huddled together the first day of the cottages showed how fearful of the world they were. Kathy remembers the two years in the cottages with fondness. Pg 117 The veterans come out to bring them into the house. Kathy describes the day they arrive to the cottages. Here we look at the possibility they students were not prepared for the world outside Hailsham. They force a sort of self imposed isolation on themselves.
Pg 116 Kathy shows that for the first few months they never left the cottages. Kathy introduces the people from Hailsham that ended up at the cottages that year with her. Kathy shows some tried to look at Keffer as a guardian but he was having none of it. We continue to get a bleak outlook on their existence. Pg 115 Kathy talks about how cold the cottages could become and that Keffer would not bring more gas canisters for the heaters. This looks at the clones having no purpose or drive in life. Kathy reveals that the list of chores was the only thing that they had to do.
Kathy tells us about Keffer whom came every couple of weeks to look after the place. Kathy tells us that eight students went to the cottages from Hailsham and the others went to different places. Pg 114 Kathy thinks about going back to her essay when she is no longer a carer and has more time. Kathy shows that the essays helped initially helped the students keep a hold on Hailsham when they left. This looks at the idea of introducing meaningless tasks to keep the reality of their situation off their mind. These essays were supposed to absorb the students for about two years. Pg 113 Kathy is driving and thinks about the easy she was supposed to do while in the cottages. Never Let Me Go – Kazuo Ishiguro – Part Two
