Never Let Me Go - Understanding the Text
This GCSE English Literature quiz is about understanding the text and looks at Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel Never Let Me Go.
Understanding a text is not always easy! Authors convey meaning in many ways and very rarely state what they mean directly. Instead, they use character, setting, plot, theme and dialogue to show the reader what they want to convey. Readers must pay close attention and try to understand a text as they go along. Sometimes it’s necessary to reread certain sections, especially if a later turn of events shows that you might have missed something. If so, don’t worry. This shows how thoroughly engaged in the text you actually are!
1 .
''Completion" usually is expected to occur after which donation?
The first
The second
The third
The fourth
Some donors ''complete'' early. The use of the word ''complete'' euphemistically refers to death, while leaving open the possibility that death does not occur immediately after the fourth donation. The word also suggests that the donors have fulfilled their function in life
2 .
Who are the donors?
Wealthy benefactors
Clones who have been created for the purposes of providing organs
The guardians of Hailsham
The models from which people were cloned
The clones move through the stages of being students, veterans, carers and then donors
3 .
What happens after the end of the novel?
Kathy continues as a carer for the foreseeable future
Kathy finds Hailsham
Kathy begins the donation process
Kathy runs away
At the beginning of the novel, Kathy tells the reader that she has eight months left of being a carer. Although she could potentially escape, we know at the end of the novel that she will be compliant
4 .
What is a "possible"?
One of the jobs open to the students after leaving Hailsham
The model from which a clone was made
Another name for the fourth donation
A school which only exists in rumour
Kathy, Ruth, Tommy, Crissie and Rodney go to Norfolk in search of Ruth's ''possible''
5 .
When does a carer become a donor?
Carers automatically become donors at the age of thirty
Carers are completely free to choose to become donors
Carers are completely free to choose when to become donors
Carers sometimes choose when to become donors, but can also be ordered to become donors
Kathy has chosen to be a carer for a long time, but says that some good carers have been told to stop (implying that they have been told when it is time to donate)
6 .
Where do the students believe their best creative work goes?
To the homes of carers
To decorate the walls of recovery centres
They believe it is destroyed
Madame's gallery
Much of the information at Hailsham is spread by rumour. The students believe Madame keeps a gallery of their best work because she regularly appears at Hailsham in order to select examples of their creativity
7 .
Why can the clones not have children?
They are forbidden by law
They are sterile
They do not wish to bring children into the world
Male and female clones are kept in separate compounds
When Kathy is surprised by Madame, she has been imagining holding a baby she knows she will never have
8 .
Who are the guardians?
Gallery owners
Those who do the work at the Cottages
Adults who care for and teach the clones
Those who care for the donors while they are in recovery
The guardians at Hailsham try to give the students a normal childhood, caring for them, keeping them healthy and giving them a well-rounded education
9 .
To what does the title of the novel refer?
It is the title of a song from one of Kathy's most prized possessions, a cassette tape
These are the words Kathy says to Tommy at the end of the novel
These are the words with which Miss Lucy takes leave of Hailsham
These are the words with which Ruth says goodbye to Kathy
The title is rich with meanings. One of these is the sense of treasuring another and being treasured, feelings which society does not believe the clones are capable of holding, as well as feelings society does not hold for the clones
10 .
Do the guardians lie directly to the students about their futures?
Yes, the guardians give the students false hope about their futures
Yes, but only by never discussing their futures
No, the guardians do not lie and are careful not to mislead the students
No, but the guardians do not encourage the students to understand fully what their futures hold
Their behaviour does not consist of direct lies, but, by presenting information before the students can comprehend it emotionally, the guardians are guilty of deception
