Prompts?

I'm not exactly sure if this is what I will end up writing about as I am still interested in the past and the fake life they are living and would like to incorporate that somehow, but here is one prompt I am considering writing about.

In a well thought out and well constructed essay, explain how being classified as un-human has effect the characters and their outcomes in Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and any other book we have explored this semester.

I just thought of this one so this could be another prompt but I'm not sure:

....explain how a characters acceptance or denial of the past has shaped their future (whether it be their actions or emotions) by exploring Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and another book from this semester.

Thoughts: I don't think I will fully be able to answer this until the end of the book, but I find the idea of how they measure a soul interesting. Also is a soul almost an illusion/myth/lie (similar to how we were talking about love) and what gives someone the right to classify someone as having a soul or not.

Side-note: It is interesting how Hailsham which seems to be the ultimate form of deception in this book (if I am going off that idea) was just destroyed.
