Never Let Me Go 7

"I don't know what I expected to discover as I cautiously pushed the door, but I was properly surprised to find Miss Lucy." -pg. 91

This quote is part of a personal anechdote Kathy gives to describe the character Miss Lucy. Throughout the book, Kathy has given countless anechdotes of her time at Hailsham. Many of them help characterize certain people, or help us piece together why they're different. However, this is an example of an anechdote characterizing Miss Lucy. Kathy and Tommy have had experiences that prove that Miss Lucy is different from the other guardians. The purpose of this anechdote is to further prove this claim. In this anechdote, Kathy catches Miss Lucy scrawling furious lines over papers with a pencil. This was possibly to get frustration out, but it is different from the way the other guardians act. This anechdote helps gather evidence that Miss Lucy is different.
