Discussion highlights:
We live in a world built around the idea of progression for others.
Clones are made and people are made solely for the reason of donations. Donations are when people die and give their organs off to others in line.
Kathy is a caretaker of the clones.
Tommy is uncreative
The idea of donations becomes a lot more real when they talk about sex and how they need to reproduce.
Kathy sees miss lucy very upset while scribbling and kathy chooses a boy to have sex with
Ruth and tommy split and tommy tells Kathy about conversation he had with Miss Lucy about cloning and that it was a mistake that he was so uncreative.

For my creative project I hope to creat a more efficient system for the donor program. While it will most likely be more inhuman by Christian view points it would greatly increase the cost and efficiency of the production of organs. On top of this I would like to create illustrations that show what my essay is saying. I would like to format this project in the form of a newspaper published at the time the plot of the book occurs.

Similar to our previous reading book: Siddhartha, Never Let me Go has a lot of parallels to Brave New World. In my reflection essay I want to go into depth regarding how both of these books relate to one another in the tone they set and the environment which they are set in.

Discussion Highlights:
- Someone brought up the fact that the publication of feelies about John The Savage might have a chance of “waking up”some people from their conditioning. Someone else said it may have the opposite effect because it would expose people to pain, which even us today don’t like.
- Mustapha Mond is a little bit of a hypocrite.
- I wonder if the World State provides research support for people who are sent to islands inorder t

Members Present: Alex, Meek, Fabio, James

Discussion Highlights:
- The really big theme here is the theme of growing up and changing. Real world problems start to come into play. Life isn't just fun and games. There is confusion, sorrow, and difficulty. Its not as simple as school.
- One of the major developments we took note of was how Tommy, Ruth, and Kathy are getting a better experience of the Real World. Certainly a much more involved one than what they experienced at Hailsham
- We talked about how Kathy is portrayed as a character that is peculiarly different from all the rest we encounter. This might be due to the fact that it is read from her perspective, but we think that there is a more significant purpose
- We discussed the psychological affect that the release from the comforting environment of Hailsham has had on the minds of the three friends. It seems that they at times become emotionally unstable as a result of the new atmosphere they have come to assimilate

If the people wanted to rebel against this system of donations, wouldn’t they have already? What is stopping them?

Oh I really can’t wait to make a movie/film. This topic really sparks the creative part of my mind with all of the emotional and psychological impact that this book has

For the reflection essay I would like to focus on the effect the book has had on my views and how it has forced me to look at our world today as it is and compare it to the society in Never Let Me Go.

Do the donors use the word “completing” instead of dying because similarly to Brave New World they have been conditioned by the schools they have attended or because it has a more positive connotation then dying? If they use it because they themselves want to, why do they not try to do anything about their faith as donors such as run away?

At the Beginning of Part 2, why do you think Ruth started to see herself as separate from her childhood friends, Kathy and Tommy? What made the "veterans" so appealing?- Alexandru Puspurica

Would Tommy actually leave Ruth for Kathy is Ruth wasnt so manipulative? Do you think it’s Ruth’s showcase of herself or Ruth’s showcase of Kathy that’s stopping him?

For my reflection essay, I will focus on how Never Let Me Go shows the irresponsible advancement of technology in the world. A bad government combined with modern technology.

Do you agree with Miss Emily’s option of “ignorance is bliss” when dealing with the future of the students at Hailsham or with Miss Lucy who thought that students should be made aware of their futures even though it’s not a pretty future?

How does Kathy’s role as a caretaker make a difference in the story compared to the others who are clones meant to donate without a higher role?

Do you think that Kathy's passion for music and the song Never Let Me Go are sufficient evidence that she is a unique and meanigful human not fit to donate her organs - James Sessa

Is this society of one goal for all effective to make our society organized? Is it worth the boringness and lack of life that the people receive?

What's your opinion on all this drama with Kathy's interest in Tommy with Tommy and Ruth's past relationship? - Fabio

# data[].attributes.body
Alex -  I feel like we need to prepare more and be more organized. Some members need to be more proactive in conversations.
Meek - We had some, let’s say, insightful looks into the thinking of this society. The way they act due to their ultimate fate and how they should deal with it.
James - I think that we came in unprepared but we could get the conversation together eventually.
Fabio - We had some messy conversation but we’re able to analyze the decisions of Ruth, Tommy and Kathy to decide whether they are in the right or wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
Alex - There is quite a but of improvement in how much people are able to talk about what they read so far

Michael - Even though some very thoughtful topics were brought up there was a certain lack of textual reference for us to look back to and better integrate with the discussion that were being had.

Fabio - I think the book club went really good today. There was much less awkward silence. And I think we were able to talk about a lot more.

James- The book club had a lot more flowing talkative moments than before. Our group seems to get along a lot better. Instead of asking people to chime in there is much better conversation.
