tommys tantrum
Tommy is naïve:

Cant hide his emotions

‘undisguised delight’

His expressions

He cant anticipate the trick being played on him + everyone else does

‘he doesnt suspect a thing‘ ‘he really doesnt suspect a thing’

‘undisguised delight in his face to be allowed back into he fold again’

‘he’s completely convinced he’s going to be first pick!’

Kathy is less naïve

she sees this attack coming

She can hide her feelings: she doesn’t say she feels bad for tommy she feels
bad for the shirt

‘what I do remember is I noticed he was wearing his polo shirt’

Tommy has a short temper:

Blows up quickly

‘it’s coming, seven, six, five’

‘tommy burst out into thunderous bellowing

‘there was tommy going on and on’

Kathy is calm:

when tommy accidentally hits her she does not get angry at him

just repeats herself

, ‘there’s mud all over your shirt’

‘it’s nothing too worry about’

Kathys narration:

She remembered she shirt but not any emotions

tries to block her emotions

she thinks of/remembers a lot about him

Remembers detail about his face

‘looked at me sheepishly

Uncertainty/ unreliability

‘maybe im remembering it wrong’

Ruth is

the tape
Important because: SYMBOL of the song 'never let me go' and the tape
Themes:

(fear) of loss

‘so afraid something will happen" to the baby

Then Kathy holding on to the baby

image of holding on reoccurs

Future

Innocence

The tape embodies Kathy's innocence at Hailsham, her desire for emotional /
physical connection with other people

Beginning:

Kathy's interpretation of the song - she invents a story of a mother who couldn’t
have babies, then "sort of a miracle, she has a baby" and then mother was
afraid to lose the baby
