...Response Paper: Never Let Me Go The screening of the book Never Let Me Go by Ishiguro Kazuo was directed by Mark Romanek, not a very famous director but definitely a hard-working one. The movie includes such actors as Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan, and Andrew Garfield who act as the main protagonists of the performance. The movie starts with the final scene of Tommy’s “completion”. Then the viewer is presented with the retrospection of events that leads to this final scene. It is quite different than in the book. The writer tells the story from the very beginning and does not show the ending to the readers. While the movie is created in such a way that in the first scene the viewer knows how it ends, it does not mean that it is not interesting. In contrary it is a very well composed and striking film. From the beginning of the movie the audience is presented with the everyday life of a group of young people: Tommy, Kathy, and Ruth. They seem to be the average persons while in fact they are a part of a big project. They are simply genetically modified clones. They cannot have children, they have to be healthy, and from the very beginning of their lives they are prepared for donations. They give their organs and after one, two or sometimes three surgeries they just complete. Some of these people believe that they can get a deferral. In fact, there is no such thing as deferral and they are meant to die from the very beginning of their lives. Their struggle to postpone the...

...He walked out of his room and dragged himself toward the kitchen, stopping only to feed his pet fish. Morty looked up at the food, pondering it for a moment before darting through the water to snatch it. He always questioned his food, yet he seemed so content in his bowl. The small little bowl. Adrian could only wonder what he would do out in the sea. Being hungry himself, Adrian made his way to the kitchen. His parents always waited for him, breakfast ready and in normal routine. He loved my parents more than anything. Sometimes he’d stay up late at night., wondering what he would do if suddenly they weren't there to greet him in the morning. What if one day he woke up, went to the kitchen, and saw no one? No Dad. No Mom. No little Skye. Just him. All alone. That wasn’t the case today, though. He walked into the kitchen and there they were, already awake, radiant in the morning light that poured in through the perfectly clear glass. His dad had his computer tablet in his arm and was going through files, while his mom was standing at the stove, making pancakes. Little Skye was in her high chair, giggling every time a bubble she made with her mouth popped. Adrian chuckled at the amused baby, then took his own seat, causing his dad to look up from his tablet. "Good morning, Adrian,” his dad said warmly. His voice was ocean deep. It had the calming effect of a gentle tide. His face made a steady transition to his neck, which flowed to his rippling shoulders. His eyes were blue...

...Situations can change very quickly, especially within a healthcare facility. The nursing staff within a nursing home carries the responsibility of always watching and monitoring the environment to assure the residents are comfortable and cared for in the home. The ethical problem in “Please Don’t Let Me Die” case is malpractice. The nursing staff neglected to care for a patient noticeably in need and continually asking for help. Additionally, the three registered nursed were negligent. The two nurses found culpable in Loren Richard’s death had not successfully overseen the nursing staff to assure the team was following the standard of care. Regardless to the state of the floor prior to the three nurses taking a break, the registered nurses are responsible for the coverage of the floor and care for the patients for the duration of their break. If I had been one of the three registered nurses I would have been mindful of my responsibility and would have scheduled the breaks at different times to assure at least one registered nurse was present on the floor at all times. Additionally, I would have responded to Loren Richard’s cries for help and helped him get the necessary treatment. Having a good balance of qualified staff in relation to patients creates a better-managed environment for any healthcare facility, in this case, a better environment for the residents within the nursing home. “A component of Provision six is that conditions of employment must be conducive...

...Harvard Daniel Vorhaus As we follow Kathy, Tommy, and the rest of their clone cohort from their early days at Hailsham to the “completion “of their lives, it is painfully obvious that these clones carry unique names, faces, and personalities. By the time Ishiguro lets us in on his dirty little secret—that society has created these children to serve as biological vessels intended to exist only long enough to reach maturity before their organs are harvested through forced donation. It is too late the as the clones have already established themselves as ordinary people. They laugh, cry, squabble, reconcile, grow old, and they ultimately fall in love. While Ishiguro’s tale has unmistakable air of science fiction to it, it is difficult for the reader to view it as. It should not be a surprise that society that view them as clones, are anything but normal. Tommy and Kathy are every bit the intelligent, compassionate human beings that you and I are, exactly the sort of people that you would want to be friend. If they differ from the society surrounding them it is because of their society’s inability to conceive of them as anything more than “shadowy objects in test tubes”;not because of their conception in a laboratory. Despite this, even those that know them best remain afraid. Review on Never Perspectives Marvin Mirsky growing practice of familial decisions to have an “extra child “for use as a source of organ transplants when needed for earlier or favoured children, has...

...The last concept to be defined is life which can be described as “the existence of an individual human being or animal”( Dictionary.com) Throughout the novel the clones go through their lives without truly living, and it can be stated that the clones are nothing more than masses taking up space in the world. Since a basic understanding of these key concepts have been established, it can now be related to Ishiguro’s novel Never Let Me Go in further detail. The novel Never Let Me Go follows the life of Kathy, who is a clone that was raised in a boarding school for future donors known as Hailsham. Throughout Ishiguro’s novel, the links between key concepts and the novel can be seen. The concept of oppression can be seen in Hailsham, which holds the dormitories for the clones. It is here where...

...How do individuals and groups maintain power over others in society? “The way to have power is to take it”. This was said by William ‘Boss’ Tweed, an American Politician in the 1860’s. Tweed mentions the way to obtain power, however he never once mentions how to keep it. In more than one way maintaining power is more important than gaining it. However, there are many philosophies which explore how one can maintain power. These methods include the use of propaganda, the power of language, your own sense of authority, and perhaps the most effective but least humane; violence. The maintenance of power over others in society is highly dependent on the ability of those in control to distort and abuse language. This is highly evident in our civilization, not only modern society but going back thousands of years. Both powerful individuals, and groups of people and establishments all use language as a means of control, and through deception such propaganda allows power to be maintained. In George Orwells Animal Farm, we see the pigs use their intellectual ability to take control over “Manor Farm”, and turn it into “Animal Farm”. Animal Farm is promised to be carefree and easy, Old Major tells the animals “almost overnight, we could become rich and free”. This is a powerful statement, used to entice and excite the animals, which is soon contradicted with “it might be in a week or in a hundred years”. However due to Old Major’s skilled ability to manipulate language he quickly follows...

...997661472 PHL388 05.29.15 Analyzing Giants and How They Should Be Buried James Wood, in his review of Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant, criticizes the work for its use of allegory which he argal and general what is implicit and personal in his best fiction” through the use of allegory. In other words it seems as if Wood believes that an author must more or less place some sort of an onus upon the reader to unearth messages within literary works with a bit of effort, which an allegory fails to do. In The Buried Giant’s case Wood argues the use of allegory “simplifies” and “literalizes”. As a result it is argued to not only discount from this particular author’s general writing style (as compared to his previous works) but more generally makes too obvious what should be left for the reader to, in the process of reading, uncover with a bit of work as opposed to having an allegory hand it to them on a platter. Wood argues the use of allegory fails as it, “points everywhere” and is couple with a fictional setting which is, “feeble, mythically remote, generic, and pressureless” making the work simultaneously literal and vague. He also adds that the use of allegory is, “antinovelistic, because it points away from its own story, gued he overlooks other characteristics which can be argued to be more significant when it comes to judging the success of a piece of literature. Wood may potentially believe that since the use of allegory in The Buried Giant has...

...“I don't wanna be needing your love I just wanna be deep in your love” We all know the various different emotions that love puts us through. The artist asserts these emotions in his song by referencing the overwhelming power of love. The quote expresses a conflict the artist has with his feelings. He doesn’t want to be in need of her love, but instead wants to savor it. “Yeah I want that red velvet I want that sugar sweet Don't let nobody touch it Unless that somebody's me I gotta be your man There ain't no other way” This is a reference to two very popular objects: red velvet cake and heinies(buttocks). Despite their obvious differences, cake and heinies are often compared to one another. However, it’s peculiar nature didn’t stop it’s popularity growth in the music industry.

...Taylor Hafenscher Mr. Lodes Christology February 20, 2012 Once upon a time there was a young boy named Noah who lived in Jerusalem near the Jordan River. Noah loved and cared for animals. Noah’s parents always believed he was going to become a veterinarian one day. One afternoon Noah came across a man named John the Baptist. Now John the Baptist was famous in Jerusalem for his baptism services as well as his knowledge of animals. Quickly John the Baptist became a mentor to Noah and told Noah he had a special gift, the power to heal animals. Through God and prayer all of this was possible. Noah believed doing miracles like healing sick animals brought him close to God and the Kingdom of God. Noah started to heal several small animals like bunnies and raccoons. As Noah became more famous in the town of Jerusalem, he put together a group of followers. These groups of followers were called disciples. He had 11 disciples to help him with curing the animals. As Noah and his followers approached the town of Galilee, they saw thousands of starving animals. These animals were very sick and about to die. With Noah’s gift he gave every one of the animals a loaf of bread. Soon the animals were full, happy, and healthy. The town thanked Noah and his disciples and they were on their way. Noah and his disciples started to become famous throughout the land. The next job Noah and his disciples had was in a town called Nazareth. As soon as they entered the town Noah knew exactly...
