"'What thing, Tommy? What thing Miss Emily let drop?'" (pg. 175)
I think the second quoted sentence is an example of an anastrophe. The words seem out of order or weirdly worded. Writers use this technique to catch the readers' attention and make them reread it.
The above quote is also an example of anaphora. Writers use this technique to reiterate a point.
In this chapter, Kathy and Tommy's friendship seemed to grow more closely together. They had their own hour to themselves where they could do whatever they wanted, and they went out in search for a copy of the Judy Bridgewater tape that Kathy lost back at Hailsham. Tommy felt bad about the tape being lost in the first place and bought her a new one. The tape is another example of symbolism. I think the Judy Bridgewater tape symbolizes her childhood and everything surrounding it. They also talked about Tommy's opinion on the rumor of the Hailsham students in love and his theory on what Madame does with the artwork. I don't really agree with his theory. I believe that the rumor is false and there is no way that one can have three years to spend with their "lover."
