Blog entry #14 Never Let Me Go

"Back then, when you lost it, I used to think about it, in my head, what it would be like, if I found it and brought it to you.  What you'd say, your face, all of that." page 173

It seems to me that Tommy cares more for Kathy than for Ruth.  He, years later, made it important to find Kathy's tape when he had the chance.  He also never gave away Kathy's secret concerning the boiler room.  Throughout the book, one doesn't really learn of times in which Tommy does some sort of nice favor for Ruth.  Tommy seems to show more interest in Kathy and her feelings.  In Tommy's relationship, it seems that Ruth is domineering.  Tommy never really tries to object to anything Ruth wants to do.  He is, in modern slang, "whipped." I am predicting that later on, a relationship, or some kind of companionship, will unfold between the two.
