PARADOX
"The problem, as I see it, is that you've been told and not told." p. 81
"The problem, as I see it, is that you've been told and not told." p. 81
This is a HUGE part in the story. I love the character of Miss Lucy. She seems to always be looking out for the students. She apparently revealed a great truth to the children, but I did not feel like I knew much after this. This paradox was well placed because at first you think it's contradictory, but as you think about, you realize just how true it is. The children are told things, but not the full truth. I find this greatly annoying. Why don't they just tell them? Why not just let me in on the secret? Anyways, I hope that I find out soon so I can stop being confused about exactly what is happening at Hailsham.
