What thematic resonance does this have for the book as a whole? ![]() Readers may be inclined to see Kathy's tragic life as an accident of history, but Ishiguro suggests that Kathy is actually more fortunate than those who will come after her because she at least had a happy childhood. Hailsham's closing underscores the novel's bleak ending. The organ donations have only slightly improved life for the general population, and thus the clones' deaths are especially poignant. It also drives home the point that this alternate United Kingdom is no utopia. The images of material deprivation––the run-down Cottages the old items at the Sales––illustrate the difficult conditions that give rise to atrocities like the organ donation program. However, the title also refers to Madame's perception that the young clones have been left to cling to the "old, humane world."

![]() But it is her new reality, and Finn makes her happy, so she wants to be where he is. Of course, she does end up having to go to Förening, and she finds she doesn’t feel any more at home there than she has in the “regular” world. Knowing there’s a good reason she’s never fit in is a little bit of a consolation, but then being told she must leave her brother and aunt and go back to a strange place (AND that she is the princess - naturally - and must learn to rule) is a tough pill to swallow. Pretty soon, though, she finds out that Finn has been tasked with bringing Wendy back to her true home: Förening, home of the Trylle. She’s a little surprised but creeped out, though, when a new kid at her latest school keeps staring at her. ![]() Wendy has never felt that she has fit in anywhere her own mother tried to kill her when she was 6, and she has moved around a lot with her older brother and aunt because she’s been kicked out of school after school. ![]() ![]() That blue zone is me! You would think that I could just pick up and start gardening where I left off, but you’d be wrong. A more resilient plant that is “hardy to zone 7” can tolerate a minimum temperature of 0 ☏. ![]() When you purchase a plant that is described as “hardy to zone 8”, it means that the plant can withstand a range of minimum temperatures (zone 8a and 8b) from 10 ☏ to 20 ☏.

What Does It Mean to Be in Gardening Zone 8b? It’s All About Freezing Temperatures Unfortunately, they are both in zone 8b but they couldn’t be more different. Funny enough, both of my gardens are in zone 8b – and I thought “no sweat, I can do this! I’ve been gardening for years and I’m just trading one garden for another, right?”.

This book was one that I was waiting on for a while so when I got a chance to listen to it for review I was so excited.

I especially like that Barnes aims to give a theory of disability that doesn’t begin with the view that being disabled is necessarily a bad thing, which, in turn, allows her to accommodate and explain the disability pride movement(s).

As he grew accustomed to Northern ways, there was one change he couldn't get his arms around: Pennsylvania law required enslaved people be set free after six months of residency in the state.
