The concept of Neo-liberalism has been extensively spread in the United States and the effects of this growth are immensely felt.

She admits to liking the feeling that comes about as a result of making the donations at the grocery stores or during shopping (Ananya, "The GlobalPOV Project").

And when we grow up, we often miss those good times. We look back, wistful, and what was and what we never can get back. Within Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro captures this abstraction towards childhood. While Kazuo Ishiguro Never Let Me Go is ...
