"'It's daft to assume you'll have the same sort of life as your model. I agree with Tommy. It's just a bit of fun. We shouldn't get serious about it."' Kathy, pg 165
Kathy has just given her closest friend a huge amount of insight. Ruth was dissapointed after realizing that she had not found her possible and Kathy stuck a theme onto her best friend in an attempt to lighten her spirits. However, Kathy's thoughts don't only apply to this alternate universe of England, but they also work for modern day society. No one should feel obliged to become clones of their parents. I strongly believe that the apple can fall far from the tree, and their's nothing wrong with that. Kathy is pleading with her companion to relax and live life the way she wants to, not how her possible is living. Ruth needs to chill out and enjoy her time on alternate universe Earth. Kathy goes on to explain that life isn't a very serious matter, not only because they won't live much longer, but also because young adults are supposed to be carefree. There's no point in stressing out over some trivial aspect of life that has zero relevance to the future. Shake it off, Ruth. Kathy knows you'll have a beautiful life without the burden of a possible hunt.
