Never Let Me Go

     I have started reading Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and like most books that I read I saw the movie first (I don't like to be surprised and spoilers are a good thing) and I loved it. First off, I love the story line of the movie, it puts the children in this very sad situation that corrupted their little world at Hailsham. Second, I love love love the score that Rachel Portman did, it sets the tone for the whole movie and its amazing.
     So the main characters are Kathy, Tommy, and Ruth. The book is in Kathy's point of view, shes twenty-eight years old and  looking back on her life with Tommy and Ruth at Hailsham. Hailsham is not a normal bordering school that all three of the children go to. Tommy is the kid that everyone picks on. Hes bullied not physically but mentally. Kathy seems to tag along with the "cool" group but seems always kind of by herself. In the first couple of chapters she observes Tommy all the time watching him get bullied and noticing when the bulling lets up. And Ruth is the kind of popular girl, the other girls always seem to be following her around and she makes jokes about Tommy too. So when Tommy's bulling lets up Kathy notices and wants to know why. So Kathy asks Tommy and Tommy tells her that Ms. Lucy (a guardian/teacher) said to not let any of that stuff bother him she also told him some other puzzling things that both Kathy and Tommy find confusing. They both promise to each other that they won't speak of this conversation.
