Matt vs Vincent


People all over the globe are discriminated because of their gender, ethnicity, religion and political views. They face discrimination every single day; they are persecuted, murdered, imprisoned and tortured. That is the world that we live in now. What will it be like when genetics are added to that list? Matt was genetically altered and placed in a cow. Vincent on the other hand was born naturally. They were both born into completely opposite lives. Vincent lives in a world where only people who are genetically modified to be perfect, ever succeed in life, he was the obsolete form of man. Matt lives in a world where clones are murdered and harvested for their organs, so their owners can live longer. To opposite worlds but they are so similar in the circumstances that they must face. They have the same feelings; they feel alone, miserable, put down by others who say they will never succeed. But they strive for excellence, they reach for success, and along the way meet the few people whom look at them as equal. They lose that sense of loneliness, and see that there is always hope. They start to see that are people in this world who accept you for who you are, and not for what others think of you. They were both discriminated because of there genetic structure, they were treated like a lower class because of the way they were brought into this world, and they were considered useless. I think that the book and the movie both explain that if we do not do anything about discrimination, if we ignore it, that it will continue to be a problem in our world for generations to come. I feel that both the book and the movie want you to make a difference, to change the world or even just the people around you and will lead to the inspiration of others to do what is right and with the help of your friends and family you can make change in your community, city, or even the world.
