"The point is, by the time we were ten, this whole notion that it was a great honour to have something taken by Madame collided with a feeling that we were losing our most marketable stuff. This all came to a head in the tokens controversy." (Never Let Me Go, page 39)
I like this whole mystery of the Gallery. It adds some excitement to the book. I have no idea why Madame takes their best work. It's strange since she doesn't seem to like kids at all. The guardians seem to know what's going on, but for some reason are afraid to tell the kids or think they won't understand. All the kids are curious about the Gallery, but Kathy is especially observant. It's interesting how she is able to piece stuff together based on conversations children have with the guardians. It also appears that the children don't ever get to leave Hailsham. Does that mean the guardians don't leave either? It's a very weird situation. I guess it's like a boarding school. I wonder if there is a certain reason why they aren't allowed out and why they keep the Gallery a secret...
