Summary: Surviving in a Dangerous Place

There are a number of things you can do which will increase your chances of surviving in a dangerous situation. Firstly, it is crucial not to wander off if you are lost in an unfamiliar area. Instead, remain in your original location. Secondly, do not allow yourself to freak out – remain as calm as you can. Avoid the sun and take shelter in the shade.


If you only have a limited amount of food and drink available, it is important to ration this out so that it can last for longer. Drink water in very small amounts. Finally, focus your mind on all the reasons you have to stay alive.

Freedom and confinement in Never Let Me Go

If we were honest, though, particularly near the beginning, most of us would have admitted missing the guardians. […] But this was one thing we'd been told over and over: that after Hailsham there'd be no more guardians, so we'd have to look after each other. (10.7) The woods were at the top of the hill that rose behind Hailsham House. All we could see really was a dark fringe of trees, but I certainly wasn't the only one of my age to feel their presence day and night. (5.4) Of course, in practice, especially during the first months, we rarely stepped beyond the confines of the Cottages. We didn't even walk about the surrounding countryside or wander into the nearby village. I don't think we were afraid exactly. (10.9) But I do like the feeling of getting into my little car, knowing for the next couple of hours I'll have only the roads, the big grey sky and my daydreams for company. (18.5) I thought about Hailsham closing, and how it was like som...
