Blog Post #5: Matt vs. Vincent

Both Matt and Vincent are discriminated and Matt is hated just because they are different. Matt is hated because he is artificial, he is a clone and Vincent is discriminated because he is not. In Gattaca, the inky way to go up into space is to be artificial. In the Happens that both of ththe future... Only a couple people respect and don't mind Matt like Celia, Tam Lin and Maria. And Maria is just like Irene in Gattaca. If I was Matt or Vincent, I would be so happy to be liked for who I was and so grateful but it seems that Matt isn't always so grateful. The thing with Vincent is that man, he is giving Vincent his DNA and blood so he would pass all of the ID tests. "No matter how much I trained or how much I studied, my best test scores wouldn't matter, unless I had my blood test to go with it." Meaning that nit didn't matter how hard he tried, he would never get into space unless he is on of the artificial, one of the "better" humans.

Matt doesn't really understand until the last chapters why he is mistreated and why everyone hates him just because he is a come while on the other hand Vincent understand completely why no body would accept him. This is a huge difference between Vincent and Matt. Both of them are trying to prove and they both exceed expectations. Vincent beat his Jerome in the swimming challenge and Matt has become smarter than all of the other Alacrans. And Matt is also a clone so it is very uncommon, and the Alacrans think that its impossible for a clone to be smart. Matt and the seven other clones are the only ones who have never been de-brained.
