Never Let Me Go The Difference

 God Lay Dead in
Heaven
-Stephen Crane
God lay dead in heaven;
Angels sang the hymn of the end;
Purple winds went moaning,
Their wings drip-dripping
With blood
That fell upon the earth.
It, groaning thing,
Turned black and sank.
Then from the far caverns
Of dead sins
Came monsters, livid with desire.
They fought,
Wrangled over the world,
A morsel.
But of all sadness this was sad —
A woman’s arms tried to shield
The head of a sleeping man
From the jaws of the final beast.
 The Living

What does it mean to live in the

universe set in the book?
❖ How does the author portray
the lives of the clones and how
is it contrasted with the lives of
the 'normal' ones.
 The Dying

How does Ishiguro portray death

in the Novel?
❖ How is death used as a symbol
in the book and what does it
reflect when it is used on the
clones and the 'normal' ones?
 The Difference

How are life and death

differentiated between the clones
and the others? What could this
fatal difference imply?
 The Significance

What could life and death for both

types of people and the different
hues of meaning they have for
them mean? What is the point in
the narrator reciting their story?
“The fear of death
follows from the fear of
life. An man who lives
fully is prepared to die
at any time.”

–Mark Twain
