Dear Diary 12/05/2068
These past couple of weeks at Gattaca have been pretty intense with the Murder of the director and the FBI searching the place and testing all employees for some kind of result. They found an eyelash in the south wing which gave them a suspect by the name of Vincent Freeman, whom is an in-valid, they say he used to be a cleaner and disappeared a while ago and no one has seen or heard of him since. Due to the death of the director the new director has asked me to assist the investigators and inform the authorities that we’ll kindly co-operate in anyway although we can’t tolerate any major disruption, even though I was concerned about the investigation and how it was putting me behind my work and out of my place he assured me that I will still have my spot after it clears up.
Today at Gattaca I went up to the top to watch the launch again like I usually do looking up at the sky made me feel unfortunate, knowing I wouldn’t be able to go up there myself and knowing that the only trip I would be able to take in space is around the sun on the satellite due to what they call unacceptable likelihood of heart failure even though I was genetically engineered there were flaws. I wonder what it would be like if I didn’t have heart failure and my genetically engineering was successful, I would have been able to a lot more and I guess Working at Gattaca would be different too. Today was different though as I was walking Jerome came up behind me letting me know he was there by saying “I see I’m not the only one who looks up every time there’s a launch” we started talking about the director and how he had tried to cancel his flight a couple of times. I told Jerome that I had him sequenced and read his file I also told him about me having a likelihood of heart failure considering he thought I

    Today, my classmate Mickey Spellacy’s sister finally passed away. Mickey’s hope became real. Now Mickey can get a week off from school because of sister’s death. He seemed really happy today. However, he did not keep the promise. Mickey promised to Billy Campbell and me that if we pray that his sister will die in the middle of school term, he said he will invite us to his sister’s wake.

    In a few years from now, I would really like to open up some sort of cafe, specifically a boba shop. I would like for it to be located in California, specifically Southern California so it can compete with other boba shops. The menu would be filled with a variety of milk teas, flavored teas, and lattes that can be paired with various toppings such as boba, grass jelly, egg pudding, different popping boba flavors, and an array of different fruit jellies. I would also like to serve small desserts on the side, such as macarons, mille crepe cakes, and brick toast. As for the cafe itself, I would like for it to have a cozy yet minimalistic vibe from the decor. In other terms, white…

    I’m a male and my original name is Carl Smith my friends call me CS. My age is 23 years old. I’m from Virginia and during the last years I have been traveling around the 13 colonies to fight the British soldiers. My ancestors came to the “New World” because they wanted to be free and not wanting to anyone controlling them. I’m single, that is the reason why I joined the American Army over 6 Months ago is because I was unable to get a job that I wanted was unable to received my diploma, because I was unable to afford the stamp to be stamped on the certificate. Eighteenth century officers were hardly professionals in the modern sense of the word, for they might well first enter the service as mere boys through inheritance or purchase…

    Genetic engineering, is the deliberate modification of the characteristics of an organism by manipulating its genetic material. Throughout Gattaca , humans are primarily expected to best the best. In order to keep up with modern day society , the blood of a genetically perfect being was considered to be the norm. For one man named Vincent, life was all but perfect. Given that Vincent was a “God Child”, Vincent had already been given his expiration date at birth. He was expected to live for 30.2 years, and would most likely die of heart failure.

    Ethics and Natural Method

    Gattaca is directed by Andrew Niccol and the film is set out in the "not too distant future." Andrew Niccol's perspective of the future isn't what most people expect but once thought about thoroughly it surely seems quite possible. This movie presents us with a new method in which society strives for perfection and it also makes the audience wonder if genetic engineering is morally correct. The social hierarchy system in Gattaca is based on your genetic makeup and the way you were born. People born the way we know as natural are "in-valids"; on the other hand people born with the assistance of genetic engineering are "valids." An "in-valid" has his future set out to be a cleaner or other insignificant job in society which doesn't require an education. A new form of prejudice has been raised into debate which is the idea of having superior or inferior genes.…

    Escaping Death

    Outside my little cubicle was the familiar looking jail guard which I faintly recall his name to be ‘Leonardo’. He stood out there for hours guarding the cells and to this very day I still don’t understand how he would want to be captured inside this place of doom when he had the choice to roam free as he was innocent. I stared at him as he stared back, he showed no hint of emotions, I don’t recall one single time or moment when we showed any emotions are all, maybe he was emotionless, or maybe, just maybe, he has experienced much more than I have. I stared at him for quite some time and through his naked eyes, I felt a sense of sadness within him. Did the other criminals around my cell feel the same way about him or were they too busy counting the days of their release?…
