While I was reading this nights reading, I kept thinking about what my original plan for my topic or AOI was going to be, names and why were they or why were they not important. Then, I realized that towards the end of the reading, technology also played a main role.
Names:
-NO one has a last name of their own.
-Is this because it is insignificant? My thinking is that it just doesn't matter. Once they go on to give donations and all the weird stuff they do, they are just like numbers to people. The names do not actually define who they are and that is why it is not important for the guardians to put in an effort making every child at Hailsham a last name.....JUST a thought.
Technology:
-Before being exposed to technology, at Hailsham Ruth, Tommy, Kathy, and the rest all acted the way they were taught from each other and the guardians. Then, they all go to the cottages where they watch TV and see how the outside world acts and they start to copy and do what they do on TV. My big question is...why? and Why does this really matter to them enough to start acting like that after so many years of being taught different? Is this what the guardians and Miss Emily were trying to avoid by making sure they did not watch TV and make the music very limited?
