"I could see several loose sheets of dark, shiny paper scattered over the table in front of her. She herself was leaning over in concentration, forehead very low, arms up on the surface, scrawling furious lines over a page with a pencil." (Never Let Me Go, page 91).
Imagery is present in this passage. The reader can completely visualize a frantic Miss Lucy and also shares the feeling of confusion with Kathy. I think imagery is effective because it allows the reader to create a vivid image of what is taking place in the story. The author's descriptiveness helps give insight to the character of Miss Lucy. She seems like an introvert. She keeps to herself but seems to have a lot of built up anger.
I think the relationships between the students and the guardians are very interesting. They are a lot like normal student-teacher relationships. However, I do feel like there is a barrier between the two because of the fact that the students are unable to produce children and were created to be donors alone. I think Miss Lucy shall become more of an instrumental character in the future.
