Innocence to Reality

One reason I loved the movie Never Let Me Go is the way they depicted these kids childhoods being corrupted by the reality of what their lives really are. I think we can all find a time in our past where we finally realize that life isn't just play and imagination and real stuff can actually happen you. This moment happen for Kathy in Never Let Me Go, the moment before and the moment after her and Tommy started talking at the pond. Her and Tommy would always talk about the weird incidents that would happen with them and the guardians. Kathy had and incident once with Madame. Kathy was in her dorm listening to a song on tape, she thought the song was about a mother and child and how the mother wanted to protect the child so much. She didn't think anyone was around so she was embarrassingly holding a pillow and swaying back and forth while she sang to the song. Then she was jolted out of her singing when she heard sobbing and she turned around and saw Madame standing in the doorway crying staring at Kathy. Kathy immediately thought she was in trouble but all Madame did was walk away and didn't say a word still sobbing. Kathy had no idea why she was crying and didn't get her in trouble. She talked about it with Tommy a few years later, Tommy may thought she was crying because the children at Hailsham couldn''t have children and Madame may have thought it was so tragic that she could never have children. But Kathy thought that couldn't be true because that's the story she mad up in her head about what the story meant. This story and many others were odd things that the guardians did to make her and Tommy speculate. When Kathy and Tommy started asking questions about their life at Hailsham is the turning point in Kathy's life. Where transition from child to a young adult.
