Rand, Vonnegut, and Niccol all have the same characters in common

they have to realizes what is really going on in their worlds . Vincent, Harrison, Equality they all

have to open their eyes to what they know and feel inside him there might be and one percent

chance that they can changes their worlds form being this place were everyone has to be on the

same level or that they all have to have somebody with them at all times they can’t be by

themselves. This is what they have in common.

Vincent, Harrison, Equality all have been told that they were only was expected to do

what everyone does. They all know that they can do more then they are expected to do and to

know about the world around them. There is more than what meet the eyes of Vincent, Harrison,

and Equality.

Vincent’s birth revels that he will suffer many problems, so he will not be given the

chance to reach his dreams. The doctors predict that he will only live 32 years and only become a

janitor. The 99 percent chance of him suffering a heart problem stands in the way of him getting

into Gattaca’s space program .His father even tells that the only way that he can get close to

Gattaca requires that he become a part of Gattaca’s janitorial staff. But he has a one percent

chance of getting there. Even if he dies in space, they will know that he got there. He overcame

the odds against him and achieves his dream

In Harrison’s society no one can be smarter than anyone, better looking than anyone or

different from anybody. They are not supposed to think more than what other can think . And if

they are smarter, or better looking than anybody, then they have to wear mask and weights. for

the people who are smarter than others they to wear these hearing devices that go of every

20seconds. The reason that they we to wear these dances so they wouldn’t have smarter thoughts

then anybody else and if they take them off or some of the weights out they would get a fine for

every ball taken out. But Harrison knows that everybody is not the same and everyone has

different things about them. they can’t force people to do what they think is right. They all have

different choices among themselves just like this other charter he to has to overcome this belief

that everyone has to have the same thing going on in there live.

Equality has the easiest job the street sweeper. He becomes more aware of what is going

on. They all have the same brothers and sisters and they can’t look each other in the eyes. That

would be singling everyone out and that would be a sin to do that or, to be by themselves.You

have to be with somebody at all times. He comes to realizes that this is not how the world is

supposed to be people can be by themselves and only come to love just one person. This society

tell the brothers that is wrong to do you cant just love one person or be by yourself or say the

unspeakable word “I”. They were meant to different thing . they were not meant to at like

mindless zombies an do what they have been told they all have a choice to do what they want to

do and what to say about it just like Harrison.

All three of these charters have had to overcome their odds. Vincent had a one percent

chance of living with this heart problem Harrison to tell the world about the changes that they

need to make in the world and Equality he got his point across that everyone needs somebody in

their life. All of these story tells something about how they society could become like mindless

zombies and just do what they have been told to do every day without question.
