In Never Let Me Go, Kathy addresses us directly, with statements like "I don't know how it was where you were, but at Hailsham we used to have some form of medical every week" [p. 13], and she thinks that we too might envy her having been at Hailsham [p. 4]. What does Kathy assume about anyone she might be addressing, and why?

What do you think?

In Never Let Me Go, Kathy assumes that anyone she might be addressing has had a different upbringing or life experience compared to her own. She makes this assumption because Kathy grew up in a unique and secluded environment called Hailsham, which is a boarding school for clones specifically bred for organ donation purposes. Kathy's narration suggests that she is aware of her own exceptional circumstances and believes that others may not understand or be able to relate to her situation. By addressing the reader directly and making statements like "I don't know how it was where you were," Kathy acknowledges that her own experiences might be unfamiliar to others and invites them to consider her perspective. She also wonders if others might envy her time at Hailsham, highlighting her belief that those outside of her secluded world might view her experiences with fascination or curiosity.
