Never Let Me Go - Tone

Page 51 - "'Mr. Rodger,' Ruth sighed on that occasion, shaking her head. 'Who'd have guessed he was in it too?'"

So far in the story, I would describe the author's tone as nostalgic. Like I said before the book has mostly been anecdotes from Kathy's days at Hailsham. However, I have seen a specific change in the author's tone. At first, I would describe Kathy as mature based on the ways she recounted her days of youth. Recently, though, she has described them in a more childish way. I say this because she seems more excited about the outcomes of the story. I would describe this quote as immature. The girls are being arrogant as they believe that there is a plot to kidnap their favorite instructor. The immaturity is not a bad thing though. I believe that it draws the reader in more to the flashbacks. In addition, I can relate to this because I would describe myself as a little immature (not in a bad way though!).
