Never Let Me Go Section 2

Kathy unveils two major mysteries in section two of the novel.  The first, revealed my Miss Lucy, was that these children are basically hosts for organ donation.  There are being raised secluded from real society in their own personal world that is especially preventative of physical harm which is displayed when a big deal is made out of a small gash on Tommy's arm.  Each section of their lives has a name with the conclusive one being "donor".  The second major revelation is that they are essentially clones. However, this is only a unveiling for the reader; it appears Kathy has always known this.  "Since each of us was coped at some point from a normal person, there must be, for each of us, somewhere out there, a model getting on with his or her life" (Ishiguro, 139).  Though the children claim they have "known" this all along, they fail to grasp the gravity of the entire situation.  For example, they neglect to acknowledge an important detail in the speech Miss Lucy is giving when she tells them that they are donors.  Miss Lucy says, "None of you will go to America, none of you will be film stars.  And none of you will be working in supermarkets as I heard some of you planning the other day.  Your lives are set out for you"  (Ishiguro, 81).  Apparently, they did not heed to the details in her speech.  While they are in the Cottages, they discuss the topic of "dream futures".  Therefore, there exists a great contrast between what they have been told will happen and what they believe/want to happen.
