Archer, Dale. "Body Snatchers: Organ Harvesting For Profit." Psychology Today: Health, Help,
Happiness + Find a Therapist. N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Nov. 2014.

Archer makes an incredible informational article that gives the reader insight on this
harrowing subject and by giving legitimate statistics and awing cases of organ harvesting
he cracks this problem wide open. The motive of his article is clear: organ harvesting or
Body Snatching is a problem that needs to be addressed with an iron fist. The cases he
mentions are chilling and the core of this inhumane act, money. Money can make people
do an array of different things, but this takes greedy to a whole new level. Organ
harvesting is a crippling problem, and Archer reveals its true evil.

Gaydosik, Victoria. "Ishiguro, Kazuo." Facts On File Companion to the British Novel: 20th
Century, vol. 2. New York: Facts On File, Inc., 2006. (Updated 2011.) Bloom's Literature.
Facts On File, Inc. Web. 9 Nov. 2014

The life of Kazuo Ishiguro is written in an informational and critical way that shows how
his life directly correlates to the plots and character constructions of his novels. Gaydosik
summarizes the life of Ishiguro in a simplistic yet complex way. Her article is insightful

and sheds light on how Ishiguro applied his life into his literature, and it also helps the
readers of his books to get a deeper and more in depth understanding of his books. In
addition, she also writes about his astonishing accomplishments in the literary world. The
clarity of the article was modest, but it was more about the books themselves rather than
the author. If Gaydosik gave more on the author than just common knowledge then I
think that would have improved the article.

"Little Girl Sold for 'organ Harvesting'" New York Post Little Girl Sold for Organ Harvesting
Comments. N.p., n.d. Web. 11 Nov. 2014.

The problem of organ harvesting is evident in this article, and it sheds a disturbing light
on a dark part of the human race. Children from every part of the globe are being
kidnapped or bribed into selling themselves for the profit of criminal organizations. The
article is horrifying and daunting; although, it brings to the table a problem that needs to
be solved. This author; however, only focuses on a small portion of organ donation and
not the bigger chunk of it. Only a few cases are named and its not clear if any of the
cases are true. The article as a whole is informational and helps the reader grasp this
terrifying reality. Even though organ harvesting isnt as big a problem as rape, murder,
and extortion it is still a problem. We need to stop it before it becomes any bigger than it
needs to be. Never Let Me Go could be seen as a glance into a future. An extreme future
it would be, but when problems like this become ignored they begin to become widely
accepted. Ignorance can bring a future much like world in Never Let Me Go.

Menand, Louis. "Something About Kathy - The New Yorker." The New Yorker. N.p., n.d. Web.
Nov. 2014.

Louis Menand orchestrates a very credible article that analyzes and criticizes Kazuo
Ishiguros Never Let Me Go. He does not give the book a bad or good review, yet the
uniformity and prowess of his article is that of a true critic. There are obvious pros and
cons to Ishiguros novel; although, Menand brings up points that are not so obvious.
Louis Menand plunges deeper into the book, allowing the reader to plunge deeper into
the true meaning of the book.

"The Paris Review." Paris Review. N.p., n.d. Web. 11 Nov. 2014

The author of The Paris Review lends a modest and coherent look at the life of Kazuo
Ishiguro. The article is not exciting or enthusiastic; however, it is evident that the article
was thought through thoroughly. It focuses more on Ishiguro than the book itself, and
mentions every one of his accomplishments and how they equate to him as a person. This
article is insightful and has compiled a lot of in depth information on the famed author.

Stade, George, and Karen Karbiener. "Ishiguro, Kazuo." Encyclopedia of British Writers, 1800
to the Present, Second Edition. New York: Facts On File, Inc., 2009. (Updated 2011.)
Bloom's Literature. Facts On File, Inc. Web. 29 Oct. 2014

The criticism and analytical standpoint of George Stade offers the reader an illumination
on Kazuo Ishiguros psychology behind his characters. The author of this article relays

some experiences in Ishiguros life that helped him manifest his characters,but he also
criticizes Ishiguros writing style, saying that it is subtle, superficially clear but with
troubled depths. Stade reveals, within his article, that there are many more layers to
Kazuo Ishiguros writing technique, and helps the reader grip a deeper understanding to
Never Let Me Go. The clarity and construction of his article is nothing less than
mediocre, his understanding and interpretation of Never Let Me Go and many other
works of literature by Ishiguro is unwavering, and to anyone who doesnt have a good
understanding of the book should read this article.
