"'What they said,' Chrissie continued, ' was that if you were a boy and a girl, and you were in love with each other, really, properly in love, and if you could show it, then the people who run Hailsham, they sorted it out for you. They sorted it out so you could have a few years together before you began your donations.'"
(pg. 153)
The author uses balance to create emphasis on what is being said in the quote above. Through this balance, the point in which Hailsham students were always regarded as special is now revealed. Thorughout the novel, Hailsham students were thought of as privileged and treated the best. I'm guessing now that this must be the reason. However, why is it that only Hailsham students are allowed to do this? What makes them different from everyone else in the story? My guess, though I could be completely wrong, is that it somehow relates to their art gallery that Madame created. This seems to be logical since Miss Lucy clearly told Tommy that his art would benefit him later in his life. Maybe, Hailsham is the only school that creates these works of art and could be the reason as to why they are treated differently. I'm curious to see if my theory is proven to be on the right track or if I am completely wrong as I read deeper into the book.
