  1. Never Let Me Go Lesson 5

  2. At the end of this lesson we will have discussed issues presented in chapter fourof the novel. Lesson Objective

  3. What pros and cons exist between being a carer and a donor? Starter

  4. Look at the first paragraph of the chapter. How does Ishiguro foreshadow events to come in this passage? • What was the ‘tokens controversy’ about? Chapter 4 Questions

  5. ‘All I can tell you today is that it’s for a good reason. A very important reason. But if I tried to explain it to you now, I don’t think you’d understand. One day, I hope, it’ll be explained to you’ – Miss Lucy (p40) How does this help to explain why Madame takes the artwork?

  6. What impressions do you have of Miss Lucy? What type of person is she? How does she feel about the students at Hailsham? • Items from the Sales come ‘from outside’. Consider the implications of WHERE the items come from, and WHO donates them? Chapter 4 Questions

  7. Consider how the men who deliver the Sale items interact with the students. What does this tell us about public perception of the school and its students? • When chaos erupts at the Sales, the students are told that to have them is a ‘privilege’ and an ‘opportunity’(p43). What are your thoughts and feelings on the Sales? Chapter 4 Questions

  8. Kathy H addresses the reader as if we are having a private conversation with her; she assumes that we are like her, and not ‘outsiders’. How effective is this type of narration?
