"And then their was that stuff about miss Lucy. I know she meant well. She was sorry for me and she wanted to help me. I'm sure she did. But if my theory id right well..."(176)
Miss Lucy decided it would be far better for them to know their ultimate fate then to thy so hard to be creative. This is probably because she didn't fully understand the Gallery or know anything about it. Maybe if the students were kept in the dark, so to were the teachers, only told what was necessary for them to teach the students. She knew that one day they will all come to a point in their donations and begin to question the significance of the short lives that they were given. She wanted them to have this information so they could make something of this short life. Maybe if they fully understood what lies ahead, they would be more prepared for they day when they attempted to answer these difficult questions. However, later she changed her mind. Maybe this was when she was told the truth and started to realize that the Gallery was something to help these otherwise fated children enjoy a few more years with the love of their lives. I think in the end she did stick to what she believed in, telling Tommy, but also wanted him to be creative for the Gallery.
