Never Let Me Go- Blog 2, Part 4

As we all find out in Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, Tommy and Kathy are never able to "let go" of each other. Somehow, someway, they always have some bond between them stronger between anyone else in this story. Tommy was so compassionate and cared so much about Kathy that he bought her the tape she had lost while she was in Hailsham. Tommy was always trying to find ways to comfort and understand Kath. They revealed each other's secrets to one another way before they told any other person, especially Ruth. This showed that they trusted each other more than anyone else. The obstacle between them was Ruth. She was always watching them, acting as if she owned Tommy because they were dating. During the time that they met for the first time in years, Ruth and Tommy embraced each other as if they had been long lost best friends or even lovers. "My heart had done a little leap, because in a single stroke, with that little laugh of agreement, it felt as though Tommy and I had come together again after all the years" (Ishiguro, 222). They never actually let go of each other, even after all of the time that they had apart.
