When comparing Art and father relationship to other Holocaust survivor’s father and son relationship one can see that they don’t have a normal father and son relationship. The traumatic experiences that they went through in the…

    Journal Writing Never Let Me Go — Chapter 7 I am curious whether there is a reason, or a meaning of some kind, behind Ishiguro naming the characters. I have read that whoever with the name Lucy, will always bring anything they start to completion. And I think this description fits the character Miss Lucy in Never Let Me Go. This chapter is mainly about Kathy's reminiscence of Miss Lucy, there were several flashbacks (of course, all in different time and place,…
