NLMG- Life
I was reading one of Aparna’s posts, and I kind of had a little mini connection. My book has the themes of death and all, but these clones are living very short lives. They live to be about 30 before they die. And the people that are “in charge” of them teach them about things like art and sex and music and collections and friendships. It makes me wonder about Ishiguro and what he’s saying about life and the things that we value. These clones have only a few years to live, but they’re still living. And what Ishiguro has them doing is really interesting too.
What do you guys think you’d value most if you only have 30 years to live? It’s long enough to form relationships and real emotional connections, but is it long enough to be fulfilled? Is life as is long enough to be fulfilled?
Here is an example of an awesome AP Lit student sharing her thoughts about her process. She is using the space to make her visible to other people so they can weigh in and help her out-- and she can come back to her thoughts at a later time.
