Never let me go

The title of my book report is the same title of the book Never Let Me Go. I like it very much among all the books. Most probably because the love and the friendship between the three main characters. The author of this book is a Japanese born in England, whose name is Kazuo Ishiguro. Because I love Japanese anime, I always think that Japanese are imaginative and creative. As a matter of fact, this story is full of imagination.

The narrator of the story is Kathy. H. She and her friends used to live in a place called Hailsham. She made friends with Ruth and Tommy there. Tommy was a boy who loved Kathy actually but got together with Ruth first. At Hailsham, they knew Madame who gathered their pictures were afraid of them. One year before they graduated from Hailsham, Miss Lucy who was one of their teachers told them that they were created to donate their vital organs. When they finished the life in Hailsham, they moved into Cottages. Both Kathy and Ruth tried to find their possible around that period of time. After that Ruth and Tommy began donation while Kathy started her new life as a carer. Due to Ruth's poor health, Kathy decided to become her carer. Before Ruth' death, she gave the address of the Madame to Kathy and asked her to defer the donation with Tommy. Later, Kathy became Tommys's carer and they followed Ruth's advice to go to find Mademe, but to their disappiontment, they knew that the deferral didn't exist at all and Hailsham was closed. Finally, Tommy died too, and Kathy was ready for her donation after her last visit to Hailsham.

The name of the story is the name of tape which was Kathy's favourite. The name has several meanings. Firstly, the music represented the people and the places that Kathy loved. Also, Hailsham where they were brought up was regarded as these children's home, so they didn't want to leave there and donate their organs, which meant death to them. Secondly, even they were friends, they were separated when they started to donate. Although they loved each other, they couldn't change anything. Thirdly, their love and friendship even the existance of themselves were fake, because the meaning of their live was to donate organs. They didn't want to die without

leaving anything.

Then, I want to say something about the main characters. First of all, the narrator of the story Kathy. The very first impression she gave me was that she was very kind. As a matter of facts, she was fond of Tommy. But when Ruth asked her to help them to get together again, she agreed whithout hesitation. Whenever Ruth asked for help, Kathy would help her just due to their friendship. The plot that she held a pillow and listened to the music Never Let Me Go impressed me a lot. I think she was a girl who had a lot of imagination, otherwise she wouldn't hold a pillow and behaved like a mother.

The next one is Tommy. At the very beginning, his behavior showed he was a naughty and innocent boy. Whereas actually, he was quite considerate. He tried to knew more about deferral, for he liked Kathy. When Kathy found her possible in the books, he knew the truth while others didn't. As far as I'm considered, the reason why he finally refused to keep Kathy as his carer was he didn't want her to see the behavior after his donation, which may make Kathy feel scared. But I don't know why he chose Ruth first. Maybe at that time, he didn't realize that he had already loved Kathy. Or maybe he just did't want to hurt Ruth.

The third one is Ruth. In my opinion, Ruth was a brave girl and I admire this kind of girls. She knew that Tommy loved Kathy, but she didn't give up. Her orginal purpose of finding the address of Madame was to realize the dream of deferral with Tommy. After she found Kathy was the one that Tommy loved, she gave up and told them the truth. Besides, she even persuaded them to have a try finally. Although I didn't like her at first because she seemed to be aggressive, I was moved when she was dying she let Kathy to find Madame.

Madame and Miss Emily was the last ones. They established Hailsham, took care of these 'children' and helped they to grow healthily both physiologically and mentally. It was hard to say whether they were right or not. Bur as for me, they were right. On one hand, if I were one of these 'children', I may support them. Because without admit everyone just afraid of me and Hailsham could be a shelter. On the other hand, to say it cruelly, they could provide healthier organs if they were healthy. In addition, both of
