Conflict: 
The girls at Hailsham try to uncover if Madame is truly scared of them, and when they discover their truth, they are surprised in how they feel.

"We were, I'd say, as curious as ever about her, but we all sensed that to probe any further - about what she did with our work, whether there really was a gallery - would get us into territory we weren't ready for yet."
"I remember feeling furious at Polly for so stupidly breaking the unwritten rule, but at the same time, being terribly excited about what answer Miss Lucy might give."

Character Development:
In this chapter, the narrator primarily focuses on Miss Emily, allowing for the reader to have a better understanding of her characters role. She is the head guardian, and has an intellect as sharp as a blade. 

Conflict:
The brief and simple conflict that occurs within this passage is when a student, by the name of Polly, asks one of the guardians why Madame takes their belongings to a "gallery." This is something that students do not talk about among their guardians, and it brings about the internal conflict within the narrator and other students as they do not know if they should be angry at Polly, or excited about the answer they have all been wondering to hear. 

Theme: 
The theme of curiosity is once again seen throughout this chapter. In regards to Miss Emily and the reason behind the taking away of the students prized possessions, the reader becomes very aware of the deeper meaning behind all that is going on at Hailsham. This creates a deep sense of wonder and curiosity that is held throughout the chapter as a whole.

"All this effort, all this planning, just to upset my dearest friend."

Character Development:
Chapter 5 allows for the reader to see a more raw side of Ruth, and how cruel she really is. Kathy explains how Ruth lies about a pencil case, but this lying intertwines with the true character of Ruth, being manipulative and hurtful.

"But now, in that gallery, the woman was too close, much closer than we'd ever really wanted. And the more we heard er and looked at her, the less she seemed like Ruth."

"But the fact was, I suppose, there were powerful tides tugging us apart by then, and it only needed something like that to finish the task."
"It wasn't long after that U made my decision, and once I'd made it, I never wavered. I just got up one morning and told Keffers I wanted to start my training to become a carer."
