Never Let Me Go 15

"Some carers, though, their whole attitude lets them down. A lot of them, you can tell, are just going through the motions, waiting for the day they're told they can stop and become donors." pg. 208

Beginning part three, I noticed a major shift in tone. Before this, the reader was usually in suspense and anticipating what was about to happen. Now, the tone has become drab, slow, and uneventful. I think that the shift in tone represents the shift in lifestyle. At Hailsham and the Cottages, there was always something going on, whether it be relationship drama or friendship troubles. But now, all the drama and excitement is gone. The life of a carer seems to be about the worst job ever, and I think they do that for a reason. By making the job so demanding and draining, a carer can soon forget what his or her old life was like. It could be a sort of preparation for becoming a donor. I think they make the job so miserable so that the carers don't put up a fight when its time for their donations. Its almost like the carers look  forward to it, just because it means they are no longer carers. Kathy seems to be unlike the rest of the carers. She actually doesn't mind it. I think that could be why Kathy has been a carer for so long. She has yet to despise the job so much that she longs for her time to donate. Hopefully this will benefit her in the long run.
