Growing up- Never Let Me Go
While at Hailsham the children must learn how to live by watching tv and hearing stories from their fellow pupils and their guardians. It makes you wonder what would happen if the children learned about violence and drugs. I don't think it would make a diiference since the children would have been only exposed to these things on tv and not from the pressure of the outside world. Growing up the children are told by the guradians about rules yet I am beginning to wonder if there were even rules at all or if the children just believe everything the guardians tell them. Also growing up the children are told what they will have to do once fully grown, however, the guradians do everything they can to prevent the children from talking their future. I think the children should understand and see what the future will be like so that they can go and live life to the fullest before it becomes true. I still have to wonder ,however, if by seeing what they had as a future if the children would try to run and hide.

I thought that the idea of Hailsham was a good idea, but the guardians could have done much more than they did to give the clones a better life. For example, they should have taught the students about the outside world and how to behave instead of just showing them videos. Also, because the guardians did not teach the clones what was right and what was wrong, when the clones were finally exposed to the outside world, they might try drugs, not knowing it was wrong; this action could hurt their health leaving the clones unable to be proper donors.
