"None of you will go to America, none of you will be film stars. And none of you will be working in supermarkets as I heard some of you planning the other day." (pg. 81)
The above sentence is an example of parallelism since the author repeats the phrase "none of you." This use of parallelism adds to the weight of what Miss Lucy is telling the kids. This gives the reader an image of how she would say it, with emphasis on the word "none." This image drives home the message for both the reader and the kids.
Finally some answers! The kids are destined for organ donation. That explains the carer and donor question. Though it doesn't come right out and say it, I'm assuming they're clones. The page with the copyright information says that's one of the topics, and I've kind of had that suspicion throughout. The author leaves it up for us to figure out, which is partially really frustrating and partially really intriguing.
