Two stories about practically the exact opposite of each other... Gattaca
& House of the Scorpion & and they are both in the future. In House of
the Scorpion, everyone hates people like Matt; Clones, but in Gattaca they
discriminate against people who aren't genetically modified, like Vincent. I'm
thinking that Matt and Vincent have very similar personalities and what their
actions are, because they both have determination, and want to prove their
worth something, and discovered their identities after going through what they
had. Matt was very confused with himself in the first part of the story,
because Celia told him many lies to keep him happy and also so that he didn’t run
away. I think Celia later found that Matt is worth something because of all the
great things he did, and saved him from El Patrón. I think Vincent had a okay
idea of who he was in the beginning, because he knew his family and they were there,
while Matt only had Celia, but Vincent also didn’t really know what his real purpose
is until later on.
One thing I think is weird how both stories have entirely different views on Clones, like I don't think it should be such a big matter in the first place, but in their view it is very big. The people in house of the Scorpion they hate on clones and how they want to get rid of them and consider them livestock. I think anyone who's living should be treated equally, its sort of like the issue of racism, only this is like geneticism or some name you would call it. It seems both of the characters don't like who they are and they try to hide it. Matt in Aztlán lied to the other boys, so they would think he is a normal person, but even after finding out in the Plankton Factory they still want to help (Ton-Ton, Chacho, Fidelito). Vincent also tried to hide his identity from everyone else so they would let him go to space and they would think of him differently, but in Vincent's case only a few people knew who he was, and close to the end of it too, but they didn't really care after because they saw what great potential he had and accepted it.
-discrimination through genetics
-Determination and self worth
-both prevailed in life-threatening situations
-discovered their identities
