Scene Summary and Context
In Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go, the story unfolds in a dystopian England where human clones are created for organ donation. The narrative follows Kathy, Tommy, and Ruth as they grow up at Hailsham, a seemingly idyllic boarding school that conceals a darker purpose. The setting highlights themes of loss, identity, and ethical ambiguity. Students are raised with a sense of normalcy, yet elements like the phrase 'there's always a reason' hint at the underlying control exerted over their lives. A key quote, 'They mean to say that if you’ve been told you’re different, then you’re different,' exemplifies the chilling realisation of their manipulated existence. Throughout the novel, the tension between innocence and the stark reality of their purpose creates a compelling dystopian narrative.

Additionally, the 'tranquil' tone contrasts with the dark themes of the story, emphasising the dystopian setting. The phrase 'a secret knowledge' highlights the characters' awareness of their situation, subtly hinting at **foreshadowing**.
