"The basic idea behind the possibles theory was simple, and didn't provoke much dispute. It went something like this. Since each of us was copied at some point from a normal person, there must be, for each of us, somewhere out there, a model getting on with his or her life." (pg. 139)
Aha! Finally, the moment in the book has come that I have been waiting for! Kathy and all of her friends are clones, each made for their original. This is what makes them "different" from normal people. I have heard of the possibility of this happening in the future, but I hope it doesn't. In Chapter Twelve, we were told that the kids' dream is to see their "possible" because it may tell them what their futures are. Rodney and Chrissie told Ruth that they saw her "possible" while they were in town, and she works in an office. Kathy believes that they are just kidding with Ruth because she talks about working in an office being her dream job all the time. I personally agree with Kathy, but I could be proven wrong. At the end of the chapter, Rodney, Chrissie, Ruth, Tommy, and Kathy set off to find Ruth's "possible" again.
