The Early Years

Never Let Me Go is divided up into three parts. The first part is Kathy looking back on her, Tommy's, and Ruth's young lives at Hailsham. The way Kathy talks to the reader its almost like she assumes you know whats going on and whats happening with these things called donations and Kathy calls herself a carer and of course she doesn't explain any of this stuff to you yet, I'm assuming she'll explain all of it later on in the book. So part one consist of many little short memoirs Kathy has about Hailsham and the people there. Many of her stories seem completely random and use for nothing but some of them straighten out and actually go along with one another. One thing I think most of these stories are doing is helping the reader figure out who these children are and what Hailsham is and is doing to these children, just as the main characters had to figure it out. Since i have already seen the movie I know what is coming but I'm excited to see if the movie and the book actually follow each other or if one will be completely different from the other.
