Never Let Me Go - Dialogue
This GCSE English Literature quiz will test you on the dialogue found in Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Dialogue is the term for a conversation between at least two people. When discussing dialogue in a text, the word is used for direct speech. Each character in Never Let Me Go has a unique way of speaking which is part of his or her characterisation. All of the conversations in this novel take place in the past and sometimes, as Kathy switches between remembered episodes, it can be hard to tell the order in which the conversations occurred in Kathy’s life. Important dialogue often relates to earlier or later conversations between the same characters, enabling the reader to follow the characters as they slowly come to terms with the fact that they have been chasing after dead ends.
1.
Match the dialogue to the correct speaker.
"Look, we'll have to talk this over carefully soon. It's really interesting and I can see how it must have made you miserable. But either way, you're going to have to pull yourself together a bit more. We're going to be leaving here this summer. You've got to get yourself sorted again."

Tommy is often desperately trying to puzzle out the mysteries surrounding the donors' lives. He connects the significance of his earlier lack of artistic talent to the veterans' rumour that true lovers can have extra time before they must begin to make donations
3.
Match the dialogue to the correct speaker.
"If no one else will talk to you, then I will. The problem, as I see it, is that you've been told and not told. You've been told, but none of you really understand, and I dare say, some people are quite happy to leave it that way."

Madame
Miss Lucy
Miss Emily
Rodney
After admitting to smoking in the past, Miss Lucy opens up to the students in her belief that they should know the truth. The students realise they could get more information out of Miss Lucy; their reluctance to ask another questions arises from their own contradictory need to remain in the dark

"So that's it, that's what's upsetting poor little Kathy. Ruth isn't paying enough attention to her. Ruth's got big new friends and baby sister isn't getting played with so often..."

Match the dialogue to the correct speaker.
"I saw a little girl, her eyes tightly closed, holding to her breast the old kind world, one that she knew in her heart could not remain, and she was holding it and pleading, never to let her go. That is what I saw. It wasn't really you, what you were doing, I know that."

Kathy
Tommy
Madame
Ruth
Disappointed in the search for her ''possible'', the model from which she was cloned, Ruth gives way to her despairing sense of reality. Even the idea of the ''possible'' living the ordinary future denied to the donors represents an unrealistic dream
