These two scenes are analogous in that both clones, who will inevitably become carers and donors, both experience a moment when they have vivid visions of what life could be if not for their identities as clones. Ruth, who sees the magazine is embarrassed after seen by Kathy fantasizing about an ordinary, albeit impossible life in an office building, "then she got self-conscious - maybe even cross that I'd caught her like that - and set of much faster than before"(22), which is similar to madame, who cries after seeing Ruth pretend to nurse a baby. Additionally, it is interesting that both Ruth and Kathy, who have no real experience with being either a mother or an office worker obsess over these little "excerpts" from the real world (Ruth's magazine cover, Kathy's explicit song). While Kathy might not have seen being a. mother as her "dream future", it still intrigues her as much as Ruth, as she goes far enough as modelling a pillow as a baby. What's also sad is how that them both knowing fully well that becoming these things is totally impossible, neither can fully "understand" this fact, in the way that Mrs Lucy said.

I believe that these two scenes are similar because the gallery and possibles are something that the Hailsham students know very little about, yet it is given a high level of importance in their life. These two items demonstrate how little the children know about the life about Hailsham, and yet they blindly follow it. This is made evident when Miss Lucy tells Tommy, " Look, there are all kinds of things that you don't understand, and I can't tell you about them" (Vol I, 81). This is similar to this situation because even though the kids at the cottages do not know if possibles are a hundred percent real, they still entertain the idea of its existence and pursue it, demonstrated by the 'finding' of Ruth's possible. Additionally, these are similar because Kathy questions both these situations and their validity, which may demonstrate her higher knowledge of the life that they live in this dystopian society.]]> 2017-05-11 18:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_cain/wod0r7oaydtq/wish/171334792 https://padlet.com/jessica_cain/wod0r7oaydtq/wish/171335060 I compare this scene specifically the first full paragraph on page 23 to page 2 the third paragraph. I believe these two are connected because page 2 is all about this idea that Hailsham is this wonderful place, and this is also seen on page 23 with Chrissie believing that because they are from Hailsham they can do anything. It this sense of people from Hailsham being superior that strikes me because we are never given a reason besides the idea that Hailsham is better then other places where donors are raised. We are not given an explanation on either of these pages which I find very interesting. This cause me to think that maybe there is a reason that people from Hailsham are treated differently. Maybe they are clones of important people, we are never given an answer to this which connects these points]]> 2017-05-11 18:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_cain/wod0r7oaydtq/wish/171335060 https://padlet.com/jessica_cain/wod0r7oaydtq/wish/171335997 "'Listen, Tommy, your art, it is important. And not just because it's evidence. But for your own sake. You'll get a lot from it, just for yourself.'" vol 1 pg 81
I compared Ms. Cain's quote to this one because here Ms. Lucy gives Tommy insight about his future. Her word choice of evidences makes it seem like his creations will be used to remember who Tommy was as a person. Although not directly telling Tommy what his future is, she implies his fate in this quote. Gives a huge detail about what happens to Hailsham students ]]> 2017-05-11 18:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_cain/wod0r7oaydtq/wish/171335997 https://padlet.com/jessica_cain/wod0r7oaydtq/wish/171336642 This scene most contrasts with chapter 6 in which the teacher tells the boys they will never be actors because Hailsham students are just raised to have their organs harvested. Here, however, another clone not from Hailsham thinks the opposite- Hailsham student do in fact have a special chance to survive. This fits with my theory on the purpose of Hailsham– to test which clones are creative and intelligent enough to be worth saving.]]> 2017-05-11 18:15:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_cain/wod0r7oaydtq/wish/171336642
