Matt vs. Vincent

“By Persisting in your path, though you forfeit the littler, you gain the great” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Both Matt and Vincent have a dream to achieve and in order for them to achieve but in order to achieve it, they had to loser something. In both societies people have the ideal child/person. In Vincents world, people think that if your not genitically modified then you're not perfect, and Vincent is just a natural baby. So because he's a natural baby it's impossible to reach his dream, which is to go into space. To make his dream possible he decided to take a guy named Jerome Morrow's identity to become the "perfect" child. Vincent basically decided to start a new life by getting rid of his own identity. Matt is similar, in his world he's also the outcast, in his world being a clone is a bad thing. People don't consider clones as humans, they consider them as animals; bad animals. The whole reason why he was created was because he was supposed to give El Patron his heart. Matts dream was to get people to realize that he isn't just a clone, but he has his own heart, soul, and identity inside of himself. But in order for him to reach that goal, he had to lose a lot of people that he loved. That includes Celia, Tam Lin, El Patron, etc.

Both of them had to lose someone/something to reach their dream. In both of their worlds, they lost something but that was to reach something most people would call impossible. They both wanted to surpass what people thought they couldn't do, and guess what happened in the end? They both made the impossible possible.
