When the journey is only between life and death Never let me go

What happens in a world of despair when the journey of a lifetime is only between life and death, and all the way is only for death
?
They can laugh, eat, travel, drive, read, watch TV, have sex, be sad, and even love each other
. So what is the difference between them and humans? What are humans more than them?
The same goes to death, the same goes through exhaustion to completion.
They only deserve to be called creations, not humans. After all, you & I are different
childhood teachers who told them cruelly that there are many possibilities for human children, even if they are cashiers, actors, drivers, But only the words "maybe" and "choice" are enough to make them look down on you. As for you organ donors, there is no other way out. The only way out that you are waiting for is donation and termination. For them even the word death is stingy, and has always used the word completion instead.
In such a world, love is their greatest luxury.
Everyone firmly grasps the only true and beautiful feeling, and no one wants to be alone
. Even in the legend, love is the life-saving pill to redeem their humble existence.
Ruth doesn't want to be alone in despair, so she snatches up Tommy, who has a good relationship with her friend.
When the unsupportable relationship between the two came to an end, Ruth no longer had the sense of survival.
Kathy lived a humble but solid life with love in her heart.

Hey, after reading it, I went out and walked around and suddenly felt that there was nothing to say.
In fact, the background of the story itself was not solid. Make it so impossible to escape?
If you put aside those doubts about the absurdity and simply feel the realm created by the story, there is still a little meaning
that these donors are reminiscent of laboratory mice.
There are also ordinary people who are born with no hope, no dreams and no pursuits.
Why can love always bear so much weight, such an important role, always so gorgeous or miserable on stage again and again, making countless people cry with excitement?
Love is always easier than dreams than family love than career than many other things, and it is easier for people to sing praises and grieve.
It even thus becomes the last and only redemption of life. So strange

, I just found out that the novel of the original book was written by a Japanese (British nationality).
Oh, what I said, so perverted and cruel

Never Let Me Go quotes

  • Kathy: It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. If I'd known, maybe I'd have kept tighter hold of them and not let unseen tides pull us apart.

  • [first lines]

    Kathy: My name is Kathy H. I'm 28 years old. I've been a carer for nine years. And I'm good at my job. My patients always do better than expected, and are hardly ever classified as agitated, even if they're about to make a donation. I'm not trying to boast, but I feel a great sense of pride in what we do. Carers and donors have achieved so much. That said, we aren't machines. In the end it wears you down. I suppose that's why I now spend most of my time not looking forwards, but looking back, to The Cottages and Hailsham, and what happened to us there. Me. Tommy. And Ruth.
