NLMG Connection- D'Addabbo

By: The song Lean On Me by Bill Withers talks about the kind of friendship that Tommy and Kathy have. The some of the lyrics are "lean on me, when you're not strong, and i'll be your friend, i'll help you carry on." Kathy helps him carry on physically and literally. She is his carer and his true love. She is his friend when they were at hailsham and stays a constant friend later in life. She was the one who was always there for him and understood what he was going through. This connects to another set of lyrics in the song 'I just might have a problem that you'll understand" He literally leans on her when she is his carer. She takes care of him when he is recovering and prepares him for the next donation. The song's lyrics really explain the connection that Tommy and Kathy have.

  1. I like this connection because it also connects art to the novel. At Hailsham the students created a lot of art to show they had souls because art is an expression of one's self. Emotions show through in art and this song shows the love and feelings between Tommy and Kathy.
