How'd those predictions turn out?

"She shook her head slowly from side to side. 'There's no truth in the rumour. I'm sorry. I truly am'" (Never Let Me Go, 258).

Now that I've finished the book, it's time for me to revisit those predictions I made (the first five at about the halfway point in the book, and the sixth one with four chapters left in the book).

1. Correct! The entire world of cloning, sheltering, caring, and donating was explicitly explained in chapter twenty-two by Miss Emily, and all of my questions were answered (256).
2. Correct! It took Ruth years to admit to Kathy finally that Kathy and Tommy would make a good couple. By that time, it almost seemed too late for them to have a decent relationship (239).
3. Wrong! Kathy and Tommy took their trip to Norfolk the chapter after I predicted that would be the climax. The climax, instead, was when Miss Emily explained that the students' artwork was to prove that clones had souls (260).
4. Wrong! Kathy was a carer for twelve years because the system wanted her to be a carer for twelve years. The whole deferral thing was totally a rumor and had nothing to do with that (258).
5. Wrong! The clones do not share thoughts and memories with their possibles. The clones' only purpose in life is to advance science by donating whatever the world needs from their bodies. The only connection they have with their possibles is the fact that they share DNA -- nothing more.
6. Correct! In the end, like how John failed to reform civilization, Kathy and Tommy failed to get a deferral and learned the dark truth about their reality (258).

The ending of Never Let Me Go had the same effectiveness of Brave New World, warning the reader that once science becomes dehumanizing, going backward is nearly impossible.
