Never Let Me Go- section 2, blog 2

Ruth, one of the main characters in the book Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, is a self-absorbed character who thinks of no one but herself. It is quite evident that Kath sees Ruth as superior because of her smooth way of talking to people. Ruth had a way with words and always over-exaggerated everything she was explaining. She always made people believe that she was better than them by little things That she said.  Ruth began to talk about her "dream future" and in doing so made one of the veterans believe that it was possible for Ruth to have a job in a big office although everyone knew that it was not possible. Kath played along with those games that Ruth played in order to gain praise from Ruth. As Kath said once, "Of course, I didn't say anything. In fact, listening to her, I even started wondering if maybe it was all feasible. if one day we might all of us move into a place like that and carry on our lives together"(Ishiguro, 144). Kath knew that everything Ruth was saying was not possible, but only because Ruth said it, it suddenly became a possibility.
