At The Cottages, the young adults copy behaviour and mannerisms of characters in TV shows.
Hailsham is called a school rather than a cloning factory, and its educators are ‘guardians’ and so in this way fulfil both the roles of parent and teacher in the children’s lives. Again, this fact is later revealed as Ishiguro’s novel progresses.From the clones’ perspective, they are brought up with a semblance of normality.
When the book begins, the reader does not know that Kathy is caring for these clones. The reader learns this fact as the students in the story learn it explicitly, from Miss Lucy. Kazuo Ishiguro slowly unveils the fact that the students at Hailsham are not normal, but are clones whose sole purpose is to donate their vital organs. You could consider the reader’s viewpoint on the clones. You can approach this question about the dystopian novel from multiple perspectives.
