The Match Killer The world was infected with a disease called Solarx. It was a disease that made every pregnant woman with a baby have a second child created by a toxic the sun was giving off. The two babies would be born as twins. There were some women who were immune to the Solarx, but the world was at a stage where they needed more immune women than not.
Every nine out of ten people had a twin. The population of the Earth doubled almost everyday. The leaders of the World Chargers Center (WC) created a new law to separate twins at birth. Later, when both of the twins turned 17, they are placed in a random biome in the world; which the WC calls the Biome Zones. Before they enter, they are brainwashed and properly trained so they know what

I began to wonder why so many people came to WC North everyday and wondered if it was the same for the other WC areas. And I overheard stories from other Vanquishers about their Match. Some of them said they looked alike and did the same actions or thought the same way. Every time someone would ask about their dead Match, the WC trainers or officials would punish them. No one ever talked about them except privately. One day as I was walking past the meeting room in the North Headquarters, I overheard the three people from WC Center, where all the leaders lived and where new laws were made, talk about sending one of the Vanquishers here to the WC South to get brainwashed and restart in the Biome Zones. “This time he or she won’t have a Match. I was planning to just leave them there to see if they could survive, but remember our goal is for them not to.” said a man who looked to be in his late thirties. “Gray, I was thinking about sending Jackson or Elise...They were Vanquishers for almost about a couple of years now. We need to get rid of the young adult Vanquishers because they might start to suspect us for something and get the North, South, East, and West to rebel against the Center!” shouted a woman who looked about fifty years old. “Hush Dorie! They can hear us if you speak at that voice level. But now that I think about it, if we send one of the Vanquishers, wouldn’t the other ones get suspicious eventually? Especially if we are going to continue this project.” said Gray. “Send Caia. Now,” said a man who seemed to know my name. How does he even know me I wondered. “Come out right now; I know you’re there. Dorie and Gray, this is Caia Aaron and she just heard the whole

    The level of childlessness has doubled in thirty years and the world could be in danger of under population. Some women are childfree by choice, meaning they choose not to have children for a number of different reasons. Many celebrities are childfree, even Dr. Seuss did not have children, which is ironic due to the great deal of children’s books he has written. While reading the selection Childfree by Choice by Kelly J. Welch, I developed the belief that all women should have the option of whether or not they want to have children. While some people believe all women or married couples should bear children, lack of interest, logical thoughts, and unfortunate circumstances are some reasons they would remain childless.…

    All Quiet on the Western Front Rewrite We were quiet on the ride into the foreign village, taking in the sights that would be ordinary to anyone else. The thought of simply being somewhere far away from the front was conversation enough. The passengers included myself, Katczinsky, Tjaden, Kropp, Müller, Detering, and a new, young soldier by the name of Arnold Kirchner. Kirchner is 18, but has a boyish face that presents him as no older than 14 and his eyes have had a permanent craven nature since he first arrived.…

    After evaluating these two readings, Daniel Statman’s “Targeted Killing” is the reading that I agreed with the most. Generally, I don’t think killing someone is always the best thing to do, but in the case that someone may pose a bigger threat in the future, I believe it is justifiable. Additionally, I believe in some cases the doctrine of if you kill you shall be killed as punishment. Statman believes that war on terror is much different than conventional war and must be dealt with differently, and that the West is not adequately prepared for these means of threat. Statman immediately catches my attention when he states “… tanks, jets, and submarines are helpful when confronting other tanks, jets, and submarines, not hijackers carrying knives…

    The Randomness of the Universe In the movie, Match Point, directed by Woody Allen, the scales of fate and justice in society are determined by the mere uncertainties of the universe, in other words, by random chance. Chance is the random occurrences that people experience every day, and is a result of entropy. Based on the second law of thermodynamics, the universe has a tendency to move towards disorder or a randomness. This characteristic of entropy can explain how fate is actually an inevitable outcome based on a greater scientific principle - chance. For instance, a major component in the film emphasizes how it is the chance encounters, companions and thieves, which determine fate, rather than the actual deeds of the characters.…

I cannot say that freedom has the necessary relationship with independent, but somehow, we can link them together.…
