Claudia's Discussion Question:
Why is it that whenever Kathy and Tommy or Ruth talk about Hailsham after they left it, Kathy always says "I'm pretty certain he was wrong." (pg. 66) For example, when Kathy and Tommy are discussing the idea of Norfolk and what they thought about it as a kid, Tommy thinks it was always a joke. However, Kathy says he is wrong, and that she remembers it correctly. This sort of thing happened earlier in the book on pg. 49 as well, when Ruth and Kathy are talking about the secret guard. What is the significance of her certainty that her memories are more reliable than her friends' memories?
