a book by kazuo ishiguro...
lol rather interesting book which i read in like 4 hours..., its a book about this fictional school at a place called hailsham, where after doing my own Home work it is supposedly at east sussex...
the students are clones created for the only purpose of them to donate vital organs ranging from kidneys, pancreas , lungs ,ect... for humans, which was a supposed mean to provide for the sick people who are lacking organs.
students are not thought any practical skills mostly about them being creative or humanities, such as art drawings or poetry. a woman nicknamed madame by the students often took all the good pieces to display at a supposed gallery as imagined by the kids...
after reaching the age of 16-18... they are sent to a location known as the cottage, a simple laid back place though nothing as luxurious as compared to hailsham..sex and relationships were before quite a mystery to them in their opinion as a weird topic taught back in hailsham...so at the cottage the people exploring that area is increased
though confusing apparently during this period they are given two choices of jobs one being a donator usually males though never specified , but implied due to most mentioned being female... they are sent to many locations to donate organs and finally reaching completion or death at their fourth donation. while a carer is allowed to live for a longer period of time as a nurse to comfort or care for the sick donators after some operations.
as revealed at the end of the book , the main characters discovered that hailsham is a place for a civil experiment for clones to be given some human-rights as previously clones are considered inhumane and simply a source for organs.,,
this can be shown also from different parts of the book like when madame saw kathy singing and dancing to the song never let me go she cried, tho kathy was confused in the beginning, in actual fact she cried because it touched madames heart showing that clones have emotions and feelings.
the gallery where the best pieces were collected was in my opinion simply a place where they showcase the clones work in order to gain enough human-rights activitists or by showing to the public of what clones can accomplish and the emotion shown in each piece of work.
the last essay from hailsham before leaving for the cottage was like a farewell gift...once again showing more emotion.
the fact that clones have feelings simply like how we do, makes it simply an unfair reason for clones to be created and killed in their prime life of 20-39 on average, simply to provide for some unfair reason like how humans mistreat their own organs . smoking causing lungs to die...or turn black. clones shown the ability to show love , care , fear , hate , and many other emotions just like any one of us. They feel pain when injured , do they also not laugh when tickled, do they not smile when with friends, what makes them different other than the way of creation..
enough of my drabble..anyway i recomend you to pick up this book anyway... its a rather touching story
