Blog assignment #7

Never Let Me Go helps me understand an imaginative text and see how this literary or cinematic text can offer in understanding one of the topics from class. I chose Never Let Me Go, a novel and a movie by Kazuo Ishigur. Clones and humans are very similar, as one can read from the novel. By reading this novel, I learned that humans and Clones are very much alike, and have emotions just as each other. They both live basically the same way. Clones have feelings and such like humans, but the author thought of this as a bad thing. He wasn't very sure if it was a good idea or not. At first, before watching this film and reading the novel, I looked at cloning as a bad thing. I thought that I didn't want someone to look like me, and I don't want another person like me. But then I realized, I've always wanted a twin, and this wouldn't be much different. I no longer had a problem with clones because of the fact that they are harmless. The author does take sides, and doesn't like the idea of cloning, but also gives others, as readers a chance to decide on their own if clones are alright.
