Miss Lucy explains to the clones that they shouldn't talk about their futures that they don't have.
"none of you will go to America, none of you will be film stars."
Repetition of the pronoun "none" emphasises the fact that
no clones will be able to complete their dreams
"Your lives are set out for you."
Personal pronoun "your" reinforces the idea that
only the clones lives are set out for them
"We were just talking about what it would feel like
if we became actors."
The use of informal language shows how the
clones have some hope that their dreams
will come true.
conjunction "if" shows some hope that the
clones have
Tommy and Kathy go to Miss Emily about getting a
deferral but find out they don't exist.
"But this dream of yours,this dream of being able to defer.
Such a thing would always have been beyond us to grant, even
at the height of our influence.
This shows that this dream was very optimistic of them because
someone with more power cant't help it come true.
The use of the pronouns "us"
and "our" show that their
dreams are different to
ordinary peoples
"You've hoped carefully."
Hoped is in italics and this emphasises that dreams and hoped for clones are special.
