Comparing HOTS to Gattaca

Matt and Vincent may be from two completely different but similar stories. In Matt’s world if you are genetically modified or in most cases a clone you are looked down upon in society you are considered useless and worthless, which begs the question why have a clone in the first place? Where as in Vincent’s world, DNA means everything. Genetic modification means everything, you are the best you are considered better than everyone who is normal, and unfortunately Vincent is not. It seems like these two characters are discriminated from both of their societies. Matt is a person who was altered from another person’s cell and Vincent was weak in society because he wasn’t altered and ended up with a heart condition. Most people look down on Matt and Vincent because of these defects and treat them differently because of how their societies portray them. However, even whilst having all these obstacles in front of them they have overcome them and chosen from what I believe the “right path”. Vincent born a normal child always raced his bother by racing into the middle of the ocean and playing chicken knowing that every stoke they took would be a stoke they would have to take back, and Vincent would always lose to his superior brother because he was born in a test tube. But this drove him to practice and better himself until that day he beat his brother. I can say the same for Matt, because he was a clone everyone told him he couldn’t do anything and that be was unintelligent but he chose to overcome this and he wanted to be normal. So he indulged into his “school” learning and eventually he took over opium.
