Two Worlds: One Destiny

I was walking around my neighbourhood and some lightly forested area in my community, and was searching for something to write about, I was on a search for inspiration. I thought about the world that Matt lived in and I thought how different it is from ours. I thought how we would do something if something that horrible were to happen in our world. Then it struck me, would we do anything at all? I thought about the world that Nancy Farmer was portraying, she was explaining a world where people were forced into working as slaves like the eejits, and where people and clones were treated unequally. Then I looked around while I was on my walk and I could only see peace and quiet, and some wind blowing and softly swaying the trees, but while I was on my little stroll, I thought how blind people are from seeing the problems and issues in our world today. From our point of view there are no real problems, like make us run for our lives, or struggling to support our families so that they can get food to eat. We live in such a free and safe place, and sometimes we don't think about how lucky we are to be where we are. Unlike us there are people in our world, that are forced into slavery and human trafficking, and people who are running for their lives because of their race, religion, gender or political view. We stand here and do nothing, while people die each day, because of these problems, and we stand on the sidelines hoping that we don't get hit. So I think... how different are we from the world portrayed in this book. Nancy Farmer is showing us the issues in our world through her literature. We can not stand here and do nothing, donate to your local charity, volunteer for a homeless shelter near you. Help through your money or your volunteer work. This book has inspired me and I hope it has or will inspire you as well.
