Never Let Me Go - More About The Title

"Because somewhere underneath, a part of us stayed like that: fearful of the world around us, and - no matter how much we despised ourselves for it - unable quite to let each other go." - Never Let Me Go, page 120.

I'm starting to get more answers about why the title is named Never Let Me Go.  The meaning behind it is a little bit deeper than being the name of the song Kathy loved to listen to.  It shows the great friendship held between the students at Hailsham and more specifically, Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy's friendship.  No matter what happens, no matter what arguements come about, it is almost certain that the bond created between these two friends will always hold them together.  They will be friends until the end.  We also know this because we have had glimpses into the students' futures.  We know that Kathy and Ruth stay in touch and I am almost certain Tommy will stay friends with them as well.  Now, it might just be me trying to see more connections than there truly are but I found it very ironic that the song that Kathy loved was track number three and Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy are three friends.  This seems like a sign to me that the three of them will always be friends.  They will not let their friendship fade and they most certainly will never let eachother go.

All this talk of three best friends has made me think a lot of a very funny part from the movie The Hangover.  You all have probably seen it before but just for kicks...enjoy!! :)
