Etienne loved to read to Marie-Laure and tell her stories. They have a connection where they both understand what it can feel life to be aimless. Marie-Laure, due to her blindness, can relate to Etienne in a way that the world they experience is different than how it really exists. As their relationship grew stronger, Etienne begins to open up to Marie-Laure. He showed her the room where his brother stayed and the radio beacon that they had built to transmit radio broadcasts. Showing her the room was a big step in his recovery because the death of his brother was one of the things that troubled him the most. Marie-Laure often asked him questions, some of which, he did not feel comfortable answering. For example, she asked questions, such as, why he had not gone outside in years. He explained that he used to love to go outside, but after the war and the death of his brother his love for it faded and he developed a fear of large spaces. Etienne claimed he had everything he needed inside along with his books and music for entertainment. The connection they formed slowly began to nurture Etienne back to a sane mindset. The most important factor that led to his change was the day he stepped outside for the first time in years. Etienne was so worried that Marie-Laure was not going to come back from the bakery that he pulled together the courage to go

It had been about ten months since Aileen Mavourneen was introduced to the family. I was never fond of her. She was a dog and since i was a cat, we didn't get along. She always had the attention and Sadie never played with me anymore. The baby was always pulling on the dog's fur, laying on it, playing with it, kissing it. My days are quite a bore now that no one does any of that with me.

Using his hands against the grey tinged, rough and dusty wall he slowly finds the door. He stumbles for a second against the feeling of his feet sinking into plush carpet. He steadies himself, deciding to completely ignore the foreign feeling shifting underneath his feet. Slowly he moves through his cottage trying to visualise each wall and obstacle that may get in his way. He seems to crash into every single object that he owns. Clumsily he finally makes it to the door.

Frances and Joseph Gies have written many books about history within the middle ages. Frances Gies was the wife of Joseph Gies. Both of these people had been well- respected historians who have written books together as well as separate totaling over twenty books being written.

My mother danced all night and Roberta's was sick. That's why we were taken to St. Bonny's. People want to put their arms around you when you tell them you were in a shelter, but it really wasn't bad. No big long room with one hundred beds like Bellevue. There were four to a room, and when Roberta and me came, there was a shortage of state kids, so we were the only ones assigned to 406 and could go from bed to bed if we wanted to. And we wanted to, too. We changed beds every night and for the whole four months we were there we never picked one out as our own permanent bed.

“Siiiiiiiiiiiip siiiiiip.” The pieces of chicken from the caldo de pollo dangled from besides her nose and everywhere else. Her shirt was damped with chicken broth that had previously dripped from her spoon as she slurped. As she ate the next spoonful of broth, she brutally licked her lips in order to get that miniscule piece of rice that had escaped her mouth as she held the spoon close to her mouth. Gracie was poor and all her abuelita could afford was chicken, and today she had decided to make the chicken into soup. Gracie enjoyed her pleasant, warm food, but she had a different definition of “enjoying food.” Her definition of enjoying a meal was to eat a meal at any cost including using her hands and licking every single finger.

Beginning to end, Kazuo Ishiguro’s speculative novel Never Let Me Go leaves readers wanting more—more closure, more answers, more facts. Throughout the entire novel, readers are left in the dark with few explicit details of the society or its origins. The shadowy, obscure Madame Marie-Claude is a paradigm for the motif of mystery and uncertainty throughout Never Let Me Go. Two to four times a year, preparations begin for Madame’s arrival at Hailsham without warning to the students. She visits, takes pieces for her gallery, and vanishes without a trace (). While little is known regarding Madame in the exposition of the novel, the more readers learn about her, the more enigmatic she becomes. Like several other aspects of Never Let Me Go, the paradox of Madame’s initial displays of disgust towards the clones and her commitment to and sacrifice for the betterment of the clone’s lives does not have an obvious explanation. Despite the vast possibilities for rationalizing Madame’s perplexing behaviors, her actions and words, coupled with Hailsham’s background story told by Miss Emily, point towards an internal conflict in Madame that presents itself in her actions. Madame is sympathetic towards the clones, as one might be towards animals, but ultimately, she is not willing to sacrifice her own life so that the clones have the right to theirs.
