"A lot of the time, how you were regarded at Hailsham, how much you were liked and respected, had to do with how good you were at 'creating.'" pg. 16
Why is art so important at Hailsham? I don't understand why everyone makes such a fuss over Tommy not being creative. Why does it matter that he is not very good at drawing and painting?Is there some deeper meaning to the students' art? The only reason I can think of for art being so important is that it is a symbol. The students' arts tands for something else. I am not sure what it is a symbol for, but I hope to find out. There must be a deeper meaning to being creative, otherwise it would not hold such high importance at Hailsham.
